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.
