Troubleshooting
y First, perform the Picture Test and to see if your TV is properly displaying the
test image.
y Go to
- Support - Self Diagnosis - Picture Test
MENU
y If the test image is properly displayed, the poor picture may be caused by the
source or signal.
y Store displays are all tuned to digital, HD (high definition) channels
y If you have an analog cable/set top box, upgrade to a digital set top box. Use
HDMI or Component cables to deliver HD (high definition) picture quality.
y Cable/Satellite subscribers: Try HD channels from the channel line up.
y Air/Cable Antenna connection: Try HD channels after performing Auto
program.
✎
Many HD channels are up scaled from SD (Standard Definition)
contents. Look for a channel that is broadcasting true HD content.
y Adjust the Cable/Sat box video output resolution to 1080i or 720p.
y The compression of video contents may cause picture distortion especially in
fast moving pictures such as sports and action movies.
y A weak signal level or bad quality can cause picture distortion. This is not a
TV issue.
y Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 3.3 ft) may cause noise in the
picture on analog and digital channels.
y If you're using a Component connection, make sure the component cables
are connected to the correct jacks. Incorrect or loose connections may cause
color problems or a blank screen.
y Adjust the Picture options in the TV menu (go to Picture Mode / Color /
Brightness / Sharpness)
y Adjust the Energy Saving option in the TV menu (go to
Eco Solution – Energy Saving)
y Try resetting the picture to view the default picture settings (go to
Picture - Reset Picture)
y If the picture size is set to Screen Fit, change it to 16:9.
y Change the cable/satellite box resolution.
y If you are using an AV composite input, connect the video cable (yellow) to
the Green jack of Component Input 1 on the TV.
y If the TV is connected to a cable box, please try to reset it. (Reconnect the
AC cord and wait until the cable box reboots. It may take up to 20 minutes)
y Set the output resolution of the cable box to 1080i or 720p.
y Make sure the glasses are turned on.
y The 3D Active Glasses may not work properly if there is any other 3D
productor electronic devices turned on near the glasses or TV.
y If there is a problem, keep other electronic devices as far away as possible
from the 3D Active Glasses.
