Attach the TV Stand (For steps to attach the wall mount see page 6)

CAUTION:

Be sure to disconnect the A/C power cord before installing a stand or Wall-Mount brackets.

The LED display is very fragile and must be protected at all times when installing the legs that form the stand. Be sure to protect the

QUICK PROBLEM-SOLVING TIPS

When you experience an issue with your TV, turn it off and on again. If this does not resolve the problem, then refer to the tips below. If
the problem is still not resolved, then contact us at one of the phone numbers on Page 2.

ISSUES POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

No sound or picture

• Check if the power cord is plugged into a powered AC outlet.

• Press the

Power button on the remote control to activate the unit from 'Standby' mode.

• Check to see if the LED light is on or not. If it is, then the TV is receiving power.

I have connected an external

source to my TV and I get no

picture and/or sound.

• Check for the correct output connection on the external source and for the correct input connection on the TV.

• Make sure you have made the correct selection for the input mode for the incoming signal.

When I turn on my TV, there is a

delay for a few seconds before the

picture appears. Is this normal?

• Yes, this is normal. The TV is initializing and searching for previous setting information.

The picture is normal but there is

no sound

• Check the volume settings.

• Check if 'Mute' mode is set to On.

Sound but no picture or black and

white picture

• If the picture is black and white, unplug the TV from the AC outlet and replug it after 60 seconds.

• Check that the Color is set to 50 or higher.

• Try different TV channels.

The sound and/or picture is

distorted or appears wavy

• An electric appliance may be affecting the TV. Turn off any appliances that are nearby and move it farther away

from the TV.

• Insert the power plug of the TV set into another power outlet.

The sound and picture is blurry or

cuts out

• If using an external antenna, check the direction, position and connection of the antenna.

• Adjust the direction of your antenna or reset or ne tune the channel.

A horizontal or vertical stripe

appears on the picture and/or the

picture is shaking

• Check if there is an appliance or electric tool nearby that is causing interference.

15

The plastic cabinet makes a

"clicking" type of sound

• The 'click' sound can occur when the temperature of the television changes. This change causes the television

cabinet to expand or contract, which makes the sound. This is normal and the TV is OK.

The remote control does not work

• Conrm that TV still has power and is operational.

• Change the batteries in the remote control.

• Check if the batteries are correctly installed.
