Maintenance
Cleaning the TV
To maintain the TV's appearance and performance, regularly clean the screen and frame. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the screen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a specialized screen cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the screen or finish. Ensure the TV is unplugged before cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions
- No Power: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the TV and a working power outlet. Try plugging another device into the same outlet to confirm it has power.
- No Picture/Sound: Check all cable connections (HDMI, AV, etc.) to external devices. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the TV.
- Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Verify your Wi-Fi password is correct. Restart your router and the TV. If the issue persists, try moving the TV closer to the router or checking for interference.
- Remote Control Not Responding: Replace the batteries in the remote. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV. If it's a Bluetooth remote, try re-pairing it as per the initial setup instructions.
- Picture Quality Issues (Blurry, Pixelated): Check the resolution settings of your input source. Ensure the TV's picture mode is set appropriately (e.g., Standard, Movie).
