white picture
The sound and/or picture is
distorted or appears wavy
The sound and picture is blurry or
cuts out
A horizontal or vertical stripe
appears on the picture and/or the

• A power switch on the right side bottom edge of the front panel must be turned on. Press the
on the remote control to activate the unit from 'Standby' mode.

• Check for the correct output connection on the external source and for the correct input connection on the TV.
• Make sure you have made the correct selection for the input mode for the incoming signal.
• Yes, this is normal. The TV is initializing and searching for previous setting information.
• Check the volume settings.

• If the picture is black and white, unplug the TV from the AC outlet and replug it after 60 seconds.
• Check that the Color is set to 50 or higher.
