Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What’s the most convenient way to view High Deﬁnition (HD) video?

Connect an antenna to the TV Input jack to view free local digital channels. You may need to purchase an antenna. (See page 8

re information about antenna setup).

for mo

Visit

www.antennaweb.org for assistance in deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local digital channels available

to you. After entering your location, this mapping p

certain antenna.

Are there other ways to view High Deﬁnition (HD) video?

Besides using an antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a set-top box to receive digital video. Contact your cable service

provider or satellite provider to purchase digital programming and have them connect the box to ensure you are viewing channels

in the best way.

How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?

Press the DISPLAY button to display the Channel Bar. Look at the top right corner of the screen. An “A” is displayed for an analog

channel. A “D” is displayed for a digital channel.

Note: Since the analog TV in America has been cut off, we reserve analog TV function only for some unexpected use.

Why are there bars on my screen, and can I get rid of them?

Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which ﬁlls your screen, but is sometimes sent in 4/3 which does not ﬁll your screen. It

depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting the video. If there are bars on the screen, press the

ASPECT button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format

is sent by the broadcaster. The format changes as you press the ASPECT button and the format type is displayed at the bottom

of the screen. For more information on screen formats, go to page 22.

Why does channel search ﬁnd a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them, there’s nothing there?

Some channels don’t carry programming, such as video On Demand. When channels are unavailable, your TV screen is blank or

appears like snow. You probably want to remove these channels from your channel list. Remove these in the Channel List Menu.

Go to page 24 for more information.

Why does it take a long time when I search the channels at ﬁrst time?

If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the channel list. If you do have digital

channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled channels, and each sub-channel of that digital channel.

Troubleshooting

Identifying Problems

If there are any problems when using the product, please consult the list below. If the list does not solve the problem, call our Customer Service Center immediately.

TV Problems

The TV can’t be turned on.

• Make sure the AC cord is plugged in.

• Check the wall outlet, make sure the AC output works normally and stably.

• The Signal Type option may be set incorrectly. Go to page 18 for detailed instructions.

• The channel may be blank. Try to search the channel again or change another channel.

• If you can only get black and white pictures from external device that you've connected to your TV, maybe it is due to the video cables is not connected well, or they are connected wrongly. Check the connection stability ﬁrst, then check the correctness. For AV input, the yellow video cable connects to the yellow Video In jack on the side of your TV. For Component input, the three Y, Pb, Pr video cables (red, blue, and green) should be connect to the corresponding input jacks on the side of your TV.

There is no sound, but the picture is ﬁne.

• The sound might be muted. Try pressing the MUTE button to restore sound.

• For using AV or Component, remember to connect the device’s left and right audio output correctly. The left channel cable is white and the right channel cable is red. Please match the cables and jacks accoding to there colors.

• The sound settings may not be set correctly. Go to page 23 for more information.

• If your audio source has only one jack or is a (mono) audio source, make sure you have plugged the connection into the Audio In L jack (white) on the TV.

The buttons on the side panel don’t work.

• The side panel may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to turn on the TV.

• Select the Front Panel Lock function in the PARENTAL Menu and press ENTER to uncheck the locking status.

can’t work normally, consult a qualiﬁed service personnel.

Page 35

Troubleshooting

Can’t select a certain channel.

• The channel may be blocked or not approved in the PARENTAL Menu.

• The channel may be skipped in channel list in CHANNEL Menu. Check the blocking and skipping status of channel.

The stereo sound performance is bad.

• It may be a weak station. Use the SOUND Menu and set Analog Sound as Mono.

A black box appears on the screen.

• Closed captioning might be on. Check Closed Caption in the SETUP menu. Go to page 30 for more instructions.

Problems with the HDMI Connection.

• Make sure the HDMI device (DVD, video gamer, etc.) is turned on and the cables are ﬁrmly connected. If problems still occur, turn off

your device and reconnect it. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and plugging it again.

• If a “No Signal” message appears on screen , the HDMI device isn’t responding. Contact the manufacturer of the HDMI device for further assistance.

• If you have black bars on each side of your picture (which means the TV can not display a full-screen image), the device you connected

might have a switch or a menu option allowing you to change the picture quality output that will ﬁx this. Choose either 720p or 1080i.

The Remote control doesn’t work.

• Something might be blocking between the remote control and the remote sensor on the front panel of the TV. Make sure

the

re is a clear path.

• The remote may not be aimed directly at the TV.

• The batteries in the remote may be weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote.

You are experiencing problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls.

• If the rating limits don’t work, you must lock the settings. Go to the Main Menu (press MENU on your remote), select PARENTAL to check the settings.

What else can I do?

If you’ve been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has ﬁxed your problem, try rebooting your TV. Note that after

a reboot, you may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To reboot, unplug the power cord from the wall

outlet or power strip. Keep your TV unplugged for about 5 minutes. Then plug in the TV and turn it on. See if the problem

is ﬁxed. If the problem remains, then please visit the Customer Support Menu at www.rca.com or updated FAQs or contact

RCA Customer Support at the support number provided in your Warranty card.
