timer will be suspended.
Warning: Do not remove the USB storage device while time shifting is
active. Disable time shifting before removing the device from the USB port.

scenes in clear detail; compensates for colour; and smoothly presents
motion images. This is accomplished through optimal Gamma correction plus saturation, brightness and contrast adjustments.
Sport Sport mode is suited for outdoor sports programmes, with accurate
background depth and clear gradation between the bright, outdoor
playing field and darker auditoriums. Sports mode also brilliantly
enhances colours and presents swiftly moving pictures without residual images. All of this is achieved via specific Gamma corrections and
saturation adjustments.
Concert Concert mode places you in a virtual concert hall, opera house or
other dim environment by means of adaptive brightness and contrast adjustments.

Troubleshooting
Before you call the Acer service center, please check the following items:
Here is a list of possible situations that may arise during the use of your LCD TV.
Easy answers and solutions are provided for each.
There is no picture or sound
• Make sure the power cord is properly inserted in the power outlet.
• Make sure the input mode is correctly set by your selected input.
• Make sure the antenna at the rear of the TV is properly connected.
• Make sure the main power switch is turned on.
• Make sure the volume is not set to minimum or the sound is not set to
mute.
• Make sure the headphones are not connected.
• Reception other than those of broadcasting stations can be considered.
Picture is not clear
• Make sure the antenna cable is properly connected.
• Consider whether your TV signal is being properly received.
• Poor picture quality can occur due to a VHS camera, camcorder, or other
peripheral being connected at the same time. Switch off one of the
other peripherals.
• The 'ghost' or double image may be caused by obstruction to the
antenna due to high-rise buildings or hills. Using a highly directional
antenna may improve the picture quality.
• The horizontal dotted lines shown on the pictures may be caused by
electrical interference, e.g., hair dryer, nearby neon lights, etc. Turn off
or remove these.
Picture is too dark, too light or tinted
• Check the colour adjustment.
• Check the brightness setting.
• Check the sharpness function.
• The fluorescent lamp may have reached the end of its service life.
Remote control does not work
• Check the batteries of the remote control.
• Make sure the remote sensor window is not under strong fluorescent
lighting.
• Try to clean the remote control sensor lens on the TV with a soft cloth.
• Use the buttons (hotkeys) on the TV before the remote control works.
If the above suggestions do not solve your technical issue, please refer to the
warranty card for service information.
