Other Information

Noisy stereo reception (analog channels only)
• May be a weak station. Change the Sound Type to Mono (instructions on page 26).
No picture, no sound but TV is on
• Maybe the Signal Source is set wrong. Go to page 11 for more instructions.
• You may have the wrong video input channel selected. Use the ANTENNA button to toggle through the available
video input channels.
• If the device you're connected to has "progressive scan" and you aren't receiving a picture using a component
(Y Pb Pr) connection, you need to change the setting from progressive to interlace. The procedure for changing
this varies. Look for a button on the front of the device (it might be called resolution or display), or see if there
is a switch on the back (it might be labeled "int/prog" or something similar), or the item might be in the menu
system. Consult the user's guide for instructions.
Sound okay, picture poor (analog channels only)
• Check antenna connections. Make sure all of the cables are firmly connected to the jacks.

Problems with Remote Control

Connection Problems with a DVD Player, Set-top Box etc.
