Troubleshooting

Before contacting service, review the following common issues and solutions. For more detailed troubleshooting, refer to the comprehensive user manual on the included CD.

Problem	Possible Solution
No power / TV does not turn on.	Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and a working electrical outlet. Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device. Press the power button on the TV itself, not just the remote.
No picture / Poor picture quality.	Verify that the correct input source is selected (e.g., HDMI1, AV). Check all cable connections between the TV and external devices. Adjust picture settings (brightness, contrast, sharpness) in the menu. If using an antenna, check antenna connection and rescan channels.
No sound / Low sound.	Ensure the volume is not muted and is turned up. Check audio cable connections. If using external audio system, ensure it is powered on and correctly configured. Adjust sound settings in the menu, including Clear Voice II.
Remote control not working.	Replace the batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's remote sensor. Point the remote directly at the TV.
Channel organization is difficult (for non-cable box users).	Utilize the Favorites list feature to quickly access frequently watched channels. When entering a channel number, use the "similar channel" list that appears to select the desired input (e.g., 28-0 for SD, 28-1 for HD).
