General TV Problems

Humming noise

•Your LCOS television is equipped with fans to keep it cool. The lamp unit that is part of the LCOS technology needs to cool for a short period of time after you turn off the TV. Therefore, a slight humming noise is normal. One of the fans continues to run even after you turn off the TV because the LCOS TV is continually working to gather information for program listings.

TV doesn’t turn on right away

•It takes a few seconds for your TV’s internal lamp unit to warm up, and for your TV to reproduce all of the information required to produce a crisp, clear picture. Go to page 33 for more details.

•You might have tried to turn on the TV when the lamp unit inside of the TV was in cooldown mode (lamp cooldown mode lasts from approximately 30 to 60 seconds after the TV is turned off). Wait 30 seconds and turn on the TV.

TV won’t turn on

• Make sure the TV is plugged in, and press the (power) button on the front

l

of the TV instead of using the remote control to turn on the TV.

•Plug the TV into a wall receptacle or power strip. DON’T plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a light switch because the TV needs to be receiving power continuously, even when it’s “off.”

•Check the wall receptacle (and extension cord, if applicable) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.

•Maybe the remote is in the wrong mode — press the DIRECTV or the TV button on the remote.
