Again, if the code is correct, the device will
turn off.

Press the EXIT button to store the code.

Maintenance

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of
lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s
almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your TV.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.

2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.

3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.

If you expect to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), unplug the power cord
from the wall power outlet to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you
use an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.

SCREEN CLEANING

EXTENDED ABSENCE

CABINET CLEANING

Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will
have your new TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the power cord before you begin any cleaning.

PAGE 58

Maintenance (Continued)

Even though you may be getting cable, the signal may be weak, which means the quality
of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your TV,
consult the Troubleshooting guide on the following pages. You may also want to contact your cable
service provider to determine if the problem is from the cable service.

If you use your TV to play video games or for other uses that involve single, fixed images, such as
a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high.
If static images, like network identification icons or patterns, are left on the screen for a long time
period, they may leave a permanent impression on the TV screen. You can reduce the chance of
this happening by
limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and
brightness levels.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS

PICTURE INTERFERENCE

Missing Secret Lock Code

Some quick and easy tips for fixing problems yourself.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

• Check your antenna connection or location.

• Check your cable input.

• Check to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected.

• Check your antenna direction and/or location.

• Check your cable input.

• Make sure the cable from your antenna to your TV is

properly connected.

The
following
may cause
image
problems
or
distortion:
Electrical
applianc
es,
pow­erful
lights, cars,
trucks;
computers
or
portable
phones;
medical
equi
pment

• If possible increase the distance between your TV and the offending appliance,
or shut one of them off.

• Check volume levels.

• Make sure the TV is not Muted.

• Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast, not your TV.

• Are the Audio cables installed properly?

• Are the wires for external speakers (if you have external speakers)

installed properly?

• Make sure your speakers are turned on in the Audio menu.

• If your audio mode is set to SAP, the program may not have SAP.

• Are you in TV or cable tuning mode, and should be in the other?

• Make sure output channels on all A/V equipment are on the same channel (3 or 4).

• Check that all connections are tight.

• Is the AC power plugged in?

• Check that your AC power cord outlet works. (Test it by plugging in something

else or try another power outlet.)

Troubleshooting (Continued)

SYMPTOM

Remote control doesn’t work.

Menu options can’t be
changed or selected.

No picture or sound
when any non-cable source
is selected.

Weak or no Stereo Sound
when using a stereo VCR.

The PIP inset is black or

The PIP inset is “snowy” when
the source is TV.

Time is incorrect.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

• Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed properly.

• Try unplugging your TV for a few minutes,

then plug it back in.

• Check to see if the source equipment has been turned on.

• Make sure that the connections are secure on the back of your TV and on the

source equipment.

• Check to see if all the connections are secure.

• Look in the Audio mode menu to see if all the settings are correct.

• If you are using channel 3 or 4 to view your VCR, stereo sound will not be

available.

• Check to be sure that the PIP source is turned on.

• Check that all the wires are connected properly.

• Check to see if your input source for PIP is set correctly.

• Look to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected or change

the PIP to another source.

• Make sure the time was set initially. Probably power was lost.

• Reset clock manually.

Glossary

A list of definitions for some of the words found in this guide.

75 OHM RF CABLE The round cable that comes from an off-air antenna or cable service

provider. Each end looks like a hex shaped nut with a wire sticking
through the middle, and it screws onto the threaded jack on the back of
your TV.

A/V CABLES Audio/Video cables. Three cables - Right audio (red), Left audio (white),

and Video (yellow). A/V cables are used for stereo playback of videocas­settes and for higher quality picture and sound from other A/V devices.

A/V DEVICE Any device that produces video or sound (VCR, DVD, cable box,

or television).

ADD This function lets you add new channels to the channel list in memory

that you’ll scroll through when using your remote.

AMPLIFIER An external device that amplifies sound from a television, CD player, VCR,

DVD or other A/V device.

ANALOG TV Traditional method of representing a television signal as a replica (analog)

of the original picture and sound.

ANTENNA The physical receiver of television signals sent over the air. A large metal

piece of equipment does not always have to be visible for your home to
be using an antenna.

ASPECT RATIO The ratio of the horizontal dimension to the vertical dimension of a pic-
