  • Page 3: Sos Detect (Shutdown)

    SOS Detect (Shutdown) When an abnormality occurs in the unit, the “SOS Detect” circuit is triggered and the TV shuts down. The power LED on the front panel will flash a pattern indicating the circuit that has failed. Cautions: If the power LED continues to blink even after the TV is unplugged, press and hold the power switch on the TV for a few seconds until the LED turns off.
