LED indications

The yellow, blue, and red/green LED lights on the TV (at the bottom center of the TV) indicate the TV’s status, as described below.

Note: If the TV loses A/C power (e.g., a power outage occurs or the power cord is unplugged), when power is restored, the yellow LED will blink while the TV is booting until the remote control is usable. This is normal and is not a sign of malfunction.

“Voice announce” feature

When certain non-standard conditions occur, the LEDs on the TV will blink and the TV will play a recorded “voice announcement” describing the condition (see the table below for the specific conditions that include a voice announcement).

To repeat the voice announcement and hear additional information, press the MENU button on the TV while the LEDs are blinking.
