Troubleshooting

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this “Troubleshooting” guide carefully
before you ask to have the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example,
if the AC plug is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the TV aerial has problems, you may think
there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

• This Troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose cause are not easy to determine. If
you need help when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully,
not this Troubleshooting guide.

• If you have followed the Troubleshooting guide or the advice for the functions concerned
without any success, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet and ask for your TV to be
repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or remove the rear cover of the TV.

 If you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the AC plug connected to the AC
outlet?

• Is the Power lamp lit? If not, press the
Main power button.

 No picture/No sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel whose
reception is extremely bad? In this case,
the BLUE BACK function will be
activated, the entire screen becomes blue,
and the sound is muted. In spite of this, if
you want to view the TV channel, follow
the description “BLUE BACK” on
page 28 to try to change the BLUE BACK
function setting to OFF.

• Have you connected headphones to the
TV? If you connect headphones to the TV
no sound will come from the TV
speakers.

• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel
is incorrect, it may prevent the sound
from being issued. Follow the description
“EDIT/MANUAL” on page 29 to use the
MANUAL function to try to change the
SYSTEM setting.

 Poor picture

• If noise totally obscures the picture
(snow), the aerial or aerial cable may have
trouble. Check the following to try to
solve the trouble:

Has the TV and aerial been connected
properly?
Has the aerial cable been damaged?
Is the aerial pointing in the right
direction?
Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial receives interference
from the other devices, stripes or noise
may appear in the picture. Move such
devices as an amplifier, personal
computer, or a hair drier that can cause
interference away from your TV, or try
changing its location. If the aerial suffers
interference from a radio tower or high­voltage wire, please contact your local
dealer.

• If the TV receives interference from a
signal reflecting from mountains or
buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will
occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction
or replace the antenna with the one with
better directionality.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings for
the TV channels correct? Follow the
description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on
page 23 to try to solve the trouble.

40

Troubleshooting

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings
been adjusted properly? Follow the
description “BRIGHT” and “COLOUR”
on page 22 to try to adjust them properly.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended
because it may not record correctly.

• When a white and bright still image (such
as a white dress) is displayed on the
screen, the white part may look as if it
were coloured. This is unavoidable due to
the nature of the picture tube itself, and is
not a fault. When the picture disappears
from the screen, the unnatural colours will
also disappear.

• When viewing images from commercially
available video software products, or
videos from videotapes which have been
recorded improperly, the top of the image
may be distorted. This is due to the
condition of the video signal, and is not a
TV fault.

 Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE
properly? If not, follow the description
“BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 25.

When the TV channel reception is poor, it
can be hard to hear the stereo or bilingual
sound. In this case, follow the description
“STEREO / I • II” on page 25 to hear the
sound more easily by changing it to a mono
sound.

 Operation disabled

• Have the batteries of the remote control
become exhausted? Follow the
description “Putting the batteries into the
remote control” on page 7 and replace
them with new batteries to try to solve the
problem.

• Have you tried to use the remote control
from the sides or rear of the TV or from
more than seven metres away? Use the
remote control in front of your TV and
less than seven metres away to try to solve
the problem.

• When you are viewing a teletext
programme, you cannot operate the
menus. Press the b button to return to
the ordinary TV programme and then try
operating the menus.

• If the TV operation becomes disabled
suddenly, press the Main power button on
the TV and turn off the main power. Try
to press the Main power button again to
turn on the main power. If the TV returns
to a normal state, it is not a failure.

 Other concerns

• When the SLEEP TIMER function
operates, the TV is automatically turned
off. If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to
press the # (Standby) button to turn on
the TV once again. At this time, if the TV
resumes a normal state, there is no
problem.

• When a WSS (wide screen) signal is
included in the broadcast signal or the
signal from an external device, or when
the TV is receiving a control signal from
an external device, the ZOOM mode will
change automatically. When you want to
return to the previous ZOOM mode, press
the c button to choose the ZOOM
mode again.

41

Troubleshooting

• If you bring a magnetised device such as a
speaker near to your TV, a picture may be
warped or unnatural colours appear at the
corners of the screen. In this case, keep
the device apart from your TV. If the
speakers cause this to happen, use
magnetic-shielded speakers instead.

• A picture may be tilted due to the
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In this
case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on
page 33 to correct the tilt.

• It takes a short period of time from the
time an operation such as changing
channels is performed until an image is
displayed. This is not a malfunction. This
is the time required for the image to
stabilize before it can be displayed.

• The TV may emit a crackling sound due
to a sudden change in temperature. It does
not matter if a picture or sound does not
show any abnormality. If you hear
crackling sounds frequently while you are
viewing the TV, there may be other
causes. As a precaution, ask your service
technician to inspect it.

• Touching the screen may cause you feel a
slight electric shock due to its static
electricity. It is unavoidable due to the
construction of the picture tube. It is not a
problem with the TV. You can rest
assured that this static discharge does not
have a harmful effect.

• When a menu is displayed on the screen,
the ZOOM mode may be automatically
changed to the FULL mode. This is not a
malfunction. When the menu disappears,
the ZOOM mode will return to the
previously set ZOOM mode.
