❏
If a menu option appears in gray, this indicates that the menu option is not
available.
❏
In the password screen (see page 121), enter the following master password:
4357. The master password clears your previous password; it cannot be used to
temporarily unblock channels.
❏
The LED (see page 20 or 130) blinks when the TV is turned on, then shuts off
when the picture is displayed. If the red LED blinks continuously, this may
indicate the TV needs service. When lit, indicates that the timer is set (see page 20
or 130). When the timer is set, this LED will remain lit even when the TV is
turned off.
❏
If you are connecting a VCR and digital cable box using a splitter, as described on
page 38, you must use a special bi-directional splitter that is designed to work
with your digital cable box. Contact your cable provider for details.
❏
Only analog channels can be recorded to your VCR.
❏
When the TV is in use, there is a natural rise in temperature, causing the cabinet to
expand or contract and may be accompanied by a slight creaking noise. This is not
a malfunction.
❏
If you have several i.LINK devices connected and operating at once, the TV may
not be able to display the signal from the selected device. Turn the other i.LINK
devices off, and reselect the desired i.LINK device.
❏
If you are using a digital VCR, turn off any Auto LINC functionality of the VCR.
For details, see the digital VCR's user manual.
❏
The i.LINK STANDBY LED blinks in red when the signal from an i.LINK device
is being shown.
❏
The TV cools down when the power is turned off. It takes up to two minutes for
the picture to come back after the TV is turned on again. Wait for a while until the
picture comes back.
