• Turn off all the devices including the TV.

• The “Specifications” on page 22 contains

the details of the VIDEO terminals. If you are connecting a device not listed in the following connection diagram, see the “Specifications” to choose the best VIDEO terminal.

• Note that connecting cables are not supplied.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this “Troubleshooting” well before you request having 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 causes are not easy to determine. If a question arise when you are operating a function, read the page(s) corresponding to the operation of the function well, not this Troubleshooting guide.

• After you have followed the Troubleshooting description or the operating description of the functions concerned without any success, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet and request a repair of your TV. 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 9 to try to change the BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

• Are your SOUND SYSTEM settings for the TV channels correct? Follow the description “SOUND SYSTEM button” on page 11 to try to solve the trouble.

AUTO SIGNAL DETECT IN DVD MENU DOES NOT WORK

• Please check that the AUTO SIGNAL DETECT function is on or off.

• Press button ( VCR or DVD Player ) to turn the machine off and turn it on again ; do not turn the machine off and on suddenly.

• Inspect the video cable connection on VIDEO-3 that they are connected properly.

WHEN TV IS NOT VIDEO-3, AUTO SIGNAL DETECT WORK WHILE VCR OR DVD PLAYER WAS ON.

• Inspect the video cable connection on VIDEO-3 that they are connected properly.

• In a certain VCR or DVD Player, the function might operate by the discontinuity of the signal.

AFTER TV WAS ON, AUTO DVD DETECT WORK

• Video signal from VCR or DVD Player cause the function run properly to indicate that there are video signal on VIDEO-3 channel.

IF YOU CANNOT TURN ON THE TV

• 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 pointed to 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 device 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 high-voltage wire, please contact your local dealer.

• If the TV receives interferences from signal reflecting from mountains or building, 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 button” on page 8 to try to solve the trouble.

• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been controlled properly? Follow the description “PICTURE SETTING” on page 8 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. It is a phenomenon unavoidable due to the nature of the picture tube itself, and not due to a TV failure. 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 not because of malfunction.

Page 21

Troubleshooting (continued)

POOR SOUND

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow the description “Adjusting the sound” on page 11 to try to adjust them properly.

• 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 11 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 6 and replace them with new batteries to try solve the problem.

• Have you attempted to use the remote control at the sides or rear of the TV or at a location more than seven meters apart from the TV location? Operate the remote control in the front of your TV or a location less than seven meters from your TV to try to solve the problem.

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

• Is the CHILD LOCK function set to ON? If the CHILD LOCK function is set to ON, you cannot operate the TV with the front control buttons of the TV. Follow the description “CHILD LOCK” on page 15 to try to set the CHILD LOCK function to OFF.

• 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 AUTO SHUTOFF function operates, the TV is automatically turned off. If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to press the POWER button to turn on the TV once again. At this time, if the TV resumes a normal state, there is no problem.

• If you bring a magnetized 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 speaker causes such phenomena, use the magneticshielded speaker instead.

• A picture may be tilted due to the influence of the earth’s magnetism. In this case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on page 9 to complete 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, other causes may be assumed. For precautionary purposes, request your service technician to inspect it.

• Touching the screen may cause you feel a slight electric shock due to its static electricity. It is an unavoidable phenomenon 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 harmful influence over the human body.
