Chapter 6 Other Information

Problems & Solutions

Note: Problems & solutions 1 to 3 are for the TV models which have network functions, so users of non-connected
TV models can disregard them.

6.

1. Fail to link to the network.

- Check if your TV is connected with the network;

- Reboot your TV;

­if access of your router is supported. Refer to the
operation manual of your router, and activate its
DHCP function after linking the network to your TV.

- Make sure your TV is connected to a router, and
make sure your router is powered on. Check that
your router/modem has an internet connection, and
that your Ethernet cables/wireless connection is OK.
Test your connection with a computer to make sure it
is OK. Should the problem persist, contact customer
service.

The video could not be played smoothly.

2.

-

the supported formats of this TV set.

- Videos downloaded from internet, or online videos.
a. It may be caused by the lower bandwidth of your

network. A high network speed is required to
handle online videos.

b. Peak internet usage times may affect the

bandwidth.

c. Check if any other computers on the same

network are also operating, as they may be using
up bandwidth. Especially if they are downloading
or displaying on-line videos.

3.

When two mobile hard disks are connected

with the TV at the same time, they will not be
recognized some times.

- All mobile hard disks consume a lot of power,
which may result in power supply problems. We
recommend inserting only one hard disk, or a low
power consumption mobile hard disk.

The video from a mobile hard disk (USB) is

4.
playing with no sound.

- The audio format of the video in your mobile hard
disk is not supported by the TV player.

5.

Some videos fail to play.

-

The formats of the videos may not be supported
by the TV, especially videos shot by certain kinds
of cameras, generally with their private protocol of
formats, which are not compatible with your TV.

Video stops playing midway.

- Mistakes may occur when videos are copied or
compressed, so they may automatically stop playing
during playback.

7.

What should I pay attention to, when I do SW

updating?

- No power cuts when SW updating;

- Avoid any operations with your remote control when
SW updating;

- Depending on your internet connection speed, the
software updating process may take some time.

8.

There are no distinct changes of TV interface

after SW updating.

- Under certain conditions, SW updating may not only
update or add new functions but also improve the
performance of the TV set, without distinct changes
of interface. Also, there may be no changes to the
user interface at all.

9.

What should I do when SW updating process

stops due to a sudden power-off?

- If you do SW updating by USB, do not pluck the
USB from your TV, and restart your TV to continue
SW updating; If you do SW updating by Network,
also restart your TV and check if it is well functioned.

With a USB device being inserted into the TV in

10.
advance, I am prompted that no USB devices are
detected after I access Multimedia, why?

- There may be something wrong with your mobile
hard disk(s), damaged or with low voltage. You could
increase power supply by inserting the two plugs
on one end on the USB wire into TV's USB port
simultaneously.

11.

External device cannot be recognized.

- Some external devices (e.g. webcam, smart phone,
tablet, game handle, and external wireless adapter)
may not be compatible with the TV and cannot be
supported for certain functions (nScreen, wireless
display, gesture control, face recognition, if any).
Please try a similar device. If it does not work,
contact your local dealer.

Other Information

Troubleshooting

Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting list.

No picture, no sound

1.

Check if the fuse or circuit breaker is working.

2.

Plug another electrical device into the outlet to make
sure it is working or turned on.

3.

Power plug is in a bad contact with the outlet.

4.

Check the signal source.

No colour

1.

Change the colour system.

2.

Adjust the saturation.

3.

Try another channel. Black-white programme may

be received.

Remote control does not work

1.

Change the batteries.

2.

Batteries are not installed correctly.

No picture, normal sound

1.

Adjust the brightness and contrast.

2.

Broadcasting failure may happen.

Normal picture, no sound

1.

Press the VOLUME UP button to increase volume.

2.

Volume is set to mute, press the MUTE button to

restore sound.

3.

Change the sound system.

4.

Broadcasting failure may happen.

Unorderly ripples on the picture

It is usually caused by local interference, such as cars,
daylight lamps and hair driers. Adjust the antenna to

minimize the interference.

Blank screen in VGA mode

Perhaps the TV cannot recognize the resolution set
by the PC. Suggest to change to the best resolution or
other standard resolutions of the Windows system.

Snowy dots and interference

If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television

signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be

marred by dots. When the signal is extremely weak,

it may be necessary to install a special antenna to

improve the reception.

1.

Adjust the position and orientation of the indoor/
outdoor antenna.

2.

Check the connection of antenna.

3.

Fine tune the channel.

4.

Try another channel. Broadcasting failure may
happen.

Ignition

Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture
utters or drifts. This is usually caused by interference
from car ignition system, neon lamps, electric drills, or

other electrical appliance.

Ghost

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following

two paths. One is the direct path, the other is reected
from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the

direction or position of the antenna may improve the
reception.

Radio frequency interference

This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal

streaks, and in some case, loss of contrast in the

picture. Find out and remove the radio interference
source.
