Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

Sound problems

••Check the antenna/cable connections ( Chapter 2).

••The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.

••The sound may be muted. Press VOLUME.

••If you hear no sound, try setting the MTS feature to Stereo mode ( page 37).

••If you are not receiving a second audio program from a known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to SAP mode ( page 37).

••If you hear audio that seems “incorrect” for the program you are watching (such as music or a

foreign language), the SAP mode may be on. Set the MTS feature to Stereo mode ( page 37).

Remote control problems

••Remove all obstructions between the remote control and the TV.

••The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries ( page 20).

••If the TV still does not act as expected, use the Reset Factory Defaults procedure ( page 27).

Channel tuning problems

••The channel may have been erased from the channel memory by the Programming channels automatically feature. Add the channel to the channel memory ( page 25).

••The channel may be blocked by the LOCK feature. Unblock the channel ( page 41).

••If you are unable to tune digital channels, check the antenna configuration ( page 24). If you are still unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from the channel list and reprogram channels into the channel memory ( page 25). If you are still unable to tune digital channels, use the Reset Factory Defaults procedure ( page 27). Also see “TV stops responding to controls” and “Other problems” ( page 53).

Closed caption problems

••If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned, no captions will display ( page 35).
