Your TV remote control may not operate certain features
•
on your external device. Refer to the owner's manual for
your other device to determine its available features. If
your TV remote control does not operate a specific
feature on another device, use the remote control that
came with the device (- pages 23–27).
If the TV still does not act as expected, use the Reset
•
Factory Defaults procedure (- page 34).
Channel tuning problems
Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device
•
mode (- page 22).
The channel may have been erased from the channel
•
memory by the Channel Add/Delete feature. Add the
channel to the channel memory (- page 31).
•
The channel may be blocked by the Channels Block
feature. Unblock the channel (- page 51).
•
If you are unable to tune digital channels, check the
antenna configuration (- page 30). If you are still
unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from
the channel list (- page 32) and reprogram channels
into the channel memory (- page 31). If you are still
unable to tune digital channels, use the Reset Factory
Defaults procedure (- page 34). Also see "TV stops
responding to controls" and "Other problems"
(- page 61).

•
captioned, no captions will display (- page 45).

following situations: a) when a videotape has been
dubbed; b) when the signal reception is weak; or c) when
the signal reception is nonstandard (- page 45).
