What to do
Check that the batteries are installed correctly. Replace the batteries, if necessary. Clean the remote control and the remote-sensor window on the TV. Be no farther than 6 meters from the TV when using the remote control and aim the remote toward the TV�s remote-sensor window. � If the remote still will not work, use the keys on the TV. � Check that the TV�s power cord is plugged into the mains socket. If there is still no power, disconnect the plug. Wait for 60 seconds and reinsert the plug and then switch on the TV again. � See if the outlet is controlled by a wall switch. � If you are using an AC power strip, be sure the fuse on the power strip is not blown. � Check the antenna connection at the rear of the TV to see if it is properly connected to the TV input terminal. � The broadcast station may be experiencing difficulty. Try another channel. � Adjust the contrast and brightness settings or select another picture setting with the Smart Picture key on the remote control. � If using peripheral equipment through the A/V inputs, be sure it is properly connected. � Be sure you have selected the correct signal source for viewing. � If you are attempting to view a picture from a progressive-scan-capable DVD player connected to the AV3 or AV4 sockets, be sure you have switched the DVD player to progressive-scan mode. � If you are using an HD receiver, be sure its output is set correctly (to HD or SD), based on the connection to the TV you have made. � Increase the volume. � Check that the TV is not muted; press the H key on the remote control. � When no signal is detected, the TV automatically switches off the sound. This is proper operation and does not indicate a malfunction. � Check the transmission system�s sound settings on the set. � Adjust the contrast and brightness setting or select another picture setting with the Smart Picture key on the remote control. � Check the transmission system�s colour settings on this set. � Poor picture quality sometimes occurs when an S-VHS camera or camcorder has been connected to the side panel (AV3) of the TV when another peripheral is connected to AV1 or AV2 simultaneously. In this case, switch off one of the other peripherals. � Check the antenna connection. � Switch off the TV by the mains power key. Wait for 20 minutes before switching on again. � Be sure you have made connections correctly. � If you have connected digital equipment to the AV3 or AV4 sockets, check the colour-space setting on the equipment or TV and change the setting on either if necessary. � Check to be sure the TV is not placed too near speakers or magnetic objects. � Adjust the TV�s convergence. � This may be caused by electrical interference from appliances such as hair dryers or vacuum cleaners or other sources such as neon lights. Turn off the appliance or move the TV. � High-rise building or hills may be obstructing reception. Try using a highly directional antenna to improve the picture. � Converge the picture using IntelliSense or Manual Converge. � Switch the TV off immediately and consult a qualified service person. � This could be due to antenna siting or reflected signal. � Switch over to �MONO� by pressing the Q key on the remote control. � The feature may be disabled. See page 5 to enable it. � Some colors of clothing may not reflect the signal to activate the lighting. Try wearing lighter colors. � The senors sense any movement with their range. If this is problematic you can disable the feature. See page 5.
