Troubleshooting
Important: Review all the instructions in this manual.
The following are normal occurrences and are not the result of TV
malfunctions:
• When a still bright image (of a white dress, for example) appears on the screen, the image
may be coloured. This problem occurs in all CRTs, and when the bright image disappears,
the colouration also disappears.
• This TV is equipped with a microcomputer that may operate abnormally due to interference
from external devices. If this happens, press the Main power button to turn the main power
off and disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet. Then, reconnect the power plug to the
AC outlet and press the Main power button again.
