Remedy
• When the outside antenna is used, check the wire condition and
connection.
• Electrical interference from nearby appliances may affect picture
quality.
• View other TV channels. The problem might be limited to the
broadcasting station.
• Move your TV away from nearby electric appliances. Turn off the
power and wait 30 minutes before turning it back on.
• View other TV channels. The problem might be limited to the
broadcasting station.
• Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.
• When the outside antenna is used, check the wire condition and
connection.
• Electrical interference from nearby appliances may affect picture
quality.
• View other TV channels. The problem might be limited to the

• View other TV channels. The problem might be limited to the

• Make sure Autoscan has been completed (Refer to "AUTOSCAN" on
page 13). Autoscan must be completed when you set up your TV for
the first time or move it to a location where previously unavailable
channels are broadcast.
• The selected channel may not be broadcasting.
• When Autoscan is interrupted, some channels will not be
received. Make sure to complete Autoscan in the setup screen.
• Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. TV changes the
numbers automatically to the ones signifying the broadcasting stations.
These are the numbers used for analog broadcasts.
• Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.
• Check the batteries of the remote control.
• Check if there is an obstacle between the sensor and the
remote control.
• Test the signal output. If OK, there might be remote sensor trou-
ble. (Refer to "IR SIGNAL CHECK" on page 34.)
• Closed captioning production companies may broadcast pro-
grams without correcting the misspelling in a live broadcast.
• Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue
are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa-
nies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If
a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to ensure that
the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
• Interference from buildings or weather conditions may cause
captioning to be incomplete.
• Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert adver-
tisement. The closed caption decoder cannot read the informa-
tion of the shortened program.
• The videotape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal
might not have been read during copying.
• "Text" mode is selected for caption. Select "CC1", "CC2", "CC3",
"CC4" or "Off".
