-[roubles sometimes are caused by simple "faults" that you can correct without the help of a service technician. If you experience any difficulty with your TV, check a few basic remedies before calling your service technician.

TV WILL NOT TURN ON OR CONTROLS DON'T WORK

Check to make sure it is plugged in.

Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is "live" by plugging in something else.

Try unplugging set for two minutes, plugging it back in, and then turning it on again.

PROBLEMS WITH REMOTE

Maybe something is between the remote and the remote sensor.

Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the TV's remote sensor.

Maybe remote batteries are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries correctly.

Remove batteries and hold down one or more buttons for several seconds. Install the batteries and try remote.

TURNS ON OR OFF WHILE PLAYING

Schedule function may have been activated.

Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high.

SCHEDULE DOES NOTTURN OFF THE TV ATTHE SETTIME

Check schedule on/off function (it must be set to On).

Check to make sure clock is set to the correct time.

BLANK SCREEN OR BLACK BOX APPEARS ON THE SCREEN

Try another channel.

Press RESET, in case the picture controls are set too low.

Captioning may be turned on. Check the Closed-Caption Display control panel in the Channel menu.

NO SOUND, PICTURE OKAY

Maybe sound is muted. Try pressing volume up button to restore sound.
