Before calling service
Below is a list of frequently occurred symptoms. Before you call service, make these simple checks. Some of these symptoms can easily be rectified if you know what to do.
Symptom What you shoul do
No power • Check the TV’s AC power cord is plugged into the mains socket. If
there is still no power, disconnect plug. Wait for 60 seconds and re-insert plug. Switch on the TV again.
Poor reception • The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be responsible for
ghost pictures, echoing or shadows. In this case, try manually adjusting your picture: see Fine Tune (p. 18) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. If you are using an indoor aerial, reception may be difficult in certain conditions.You can improve reception by rotating the aerial. If the reception remains poor, you will need to use an external aerial
No picture • Check the antenna connection at the rear of the TV.
•Try another programme to con•rm whether it is a particular TV station problem or otherwise.
Good picture but •Try increasing the volume. no sound • Check that the sound is not muted. If it is muted, press the Mute
button on the remote control to restore sound.
Good sound but poor •Try increasing the contrast and brightness setting. colour or no picture
Snowish picture and • Check antenna connection at the rear of the TV. noise
Horizontal dotted •Possible electrical interference e.g. hairdryer, vacuum cleaner, etc. line Switch off appliances.
Double images or •Possible poor positioning of antenna. Using a highly directional “Ghost” images antenna may improve reception.
TV not responding • Aim remote control handset directly at remote control sensor lens to remote control on the TV. handset • If still not responding, check whether plastic insulation sheet is
removed and the battery is placed correctly (words should be facing you) .
•Try changing the battery.
• If the set receives no signal for 15 mins, it automatically goes into standby mode.
Incorrect Display • Adjust the image position using the Horizontal Position and/or position (PC mode) Ver tical Position in the PC Mains Controls menu.
No Video Input • Make sure the monitor cable is properly connected to the PC input (PC Mode) (VGA/DVI) at the bottom of the TV.
• Check whether the monitor cable has bent pins.

Ver tical flicker •Try eliminating the vertical bars by using the Clock Adjustment of appears (PC Mode) Video Noise in the Main PC Menu.
Horizontal flicker •Try eliminating the horizontal bars by using the Phase. Adjustment of appears (PC Mode) Video Noise in the Main PC Menu.
Screen too bright or •Try adjusting the contrast and brightness in the Main Menu. dark (PC Mode)
PC and PIP modes • Check that you have confiured the computer on a compatible do not work? display resolution.
Standby • If th set receives no signal for 15 minutes, it automatically goes into
standby mode. To save power, your set is fitted with components that give it a very low power consumption when in standby mode (less than 1 W).
Cleaning the set • Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean the screen and the
casing of your set. Do not use alcohol-based or solvent-based products.
Still no results? • Disconnect the mains plug of the TV for 30 seconds then reconnect
it. If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact your dealer’s after-sales service.

Digital TV Reception Trouble Shooting Guide
After a channel scan, some channels or no channels are found
•Your TV antenna may not be properly connected to your digital receiver
1. Did you connect your antenna as illustrated on Page 7?
2. Is the antenna wall socket in good condition? For optimum and reliable contact performance, the antenna wall connector should be an ‘F’ (screw) type connector.
3. Are you using a quality antenna fly lead between antenna wall socket and iDTV? The use of RG6 or RG59 Quad Shield 75 ohm coaxial cable fly leads with metal ‘F’ connectors provides a secure, reliable connection that also greatly reduces impulse noise pickup. Low cost antenna fly leads with right-angled plastic molded connectors are a common cause of poor reception and impulse noise pickup.
• Digital TV or some channels (services) may not have yet commenced in your area.
Consult with your retailer who has local knowledge on DTV broadcasting
• The signal received may be too poor to allow the digital receiver to find some or all available channels or
•Your old antenna may not be designed to receive all DTV channels or
• Antenna reception performance has deteriorated due to weathering, corrosion of antenna connections / cabling and broken elements.
Please contact your local TV antenna installer.
Generally, a quality suburban antenna installation consists of: (1) separate VHF (Ch’s 6-12) and UHF (Ch’s 27-69) antenna’s (rule of thumb; larger antenna’s with more elements capture more signal). If you live within 5-10Km of DTV transmission towers, a combined VHF/UHF antenna should be adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF antennas provide superior reception performance.; (2) a shielded diplexer that combines the separate VHF and UHF antenna signals intoone signal. Depending on DTV signal conditions, some installations may instead require a VHF/UHF masthead amplifier. (3) RG6 Quad Shield 75 ohm coaxial cabling (4) ‘F’ connectors. These guidelines equally apply to regional installations except for the antenna, which, in most cases will be UHF only, since most DTV broadcasting is usually located in the UHF bands.
To avoid personal injury and property damage, qualified antenna installers must perform antenna installations, repairs and inspections.
•I am a home unit dweller
The existing Master Antenna TV (MATV) system may have been originally designed for analog PAL TV only, and may require a substantial upgrade or replacement to also carry DTV signals. Please consult your Body Corporate.
• Received signal is ‘too weak’ (i.e.; poor quality) to generate a stable picture
Please check antenna & cabling or contact your local TV antenna installer.

Digital TV Reception Trouble Shooting Guide
Some channels display “No Signal” or “Loss of Signal”
Picture regularly breaks up on some channels
• The received signal may be too weak to allow the digital TV receiver to reliably ‘lock’ to the desired signal and generate a stable picture.
Please check antenna & cabling or contact your local TV antenna installer.
• ‘Impulse Noise’ interference from household appliances such as lights, refrigerators, washing machines, electric stoves etc may cause pictures to break up and audio to mute or distort momentarily
In the first instance, replace antenna fly-lead with a quality RG6 or RG59 Quad Shield 75 ohm coaxial cable fly lead. If problem persists, check / improve antenna & cabling or contact your local TV antenna installer.
•A masthead amplifier may be ‘over-boosting’ the antenna signal, which is overloading the DTV tuner, resulting in poor reception on some or all channels.
Please contact your local TV antenna installer.
Picture very infrequently breaks up on some or all channels
Picture very infrequently breaks up on some or all channels
• Electrical atmospheric interference caused by local or distant lighting storms or heavy rain with wind in ‘leafy’ locations may cause pictures to break up and audio to mute or distort momentarily.
• Impulse noise interference from an infrequently used electrical appliance, or a passing vehicle or lawn mower with a ‘noisy’ ignition system.
