Common Troubleshooting Issues:

There is no power.

Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the TV and a working electrical outlet. Press the Power/Standby button on the remote or TV. Try plugging the power cord into a different electrical outlet.

There is a picture, but there is no sound.

Press the Volume Up button on the remote or TV. Press the MUTE button on the remote to ensure Mute is off. Press MENU, then select TV Settings > Audio. Ensure TV Speakers is set to On.

The picture quality seems low.

View high-definition (HD) programs when possible. Ensure all cables are securely connected. If using an antenna, check the signal strength and ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and positioned optimally (e.g., near a window).

I cannot return to the Setup App.

Press MENU, then select Help > System Reset > Start Setup Wizard. Enter your PIN (default is 0000) and select Yes.

There are black/gray bars on the top/bottom/sides of the picture.

Set the TV to Wide or Zoom Mode via MENU > Wide. Adjust the video settings of your external device (e.g., Blu-ray™ or DVD player). If using an RGB (computer) input, ensure you are using a supported desktop resolution. Note that some television channels may display black bars.

The TV does not respond when I press buttons on the remote control.

Insert new batteries into the remote. Point the remote directly at the TV's sensor and ensure nothing is blocking the sensor.

The TV displays “No Signal”

Ensure your connected devices are turned on. Press the INPUT button on the remote and select the input to which your device is connected (e.g., HDMI, Composite).

The colors on the TV don't look right.

Adjust the Color and Tint settings in the Picture menu. Reset the picture settings. Check all cables to ensure they are securely attached.
