Items To Check And Actions To Follow
• This may be caused by an obstruction to the
antenna due to high rise buildings or hills. Using a
highly directional antenna may improve the picture.
• Check to see if the TV's AC power cord is plugged
into the outlet.
• Unplug the TV and after 60 seconds reinsert the
plug into the outlet and power on the TV.
• At the rear of the TV make sure the antenna
connection is properly attached.
• Check to see if there is a station broadcast problem
by trying multiple channels.
• Adjust the contrast and brightness settings.
• Check the Closed Caption settings as some text
modes may block the visibility of the images on the
TV.
• Increase the volume.
• Confirm that the TV is not muted by pressing the
Mute button on the remote control.
• Adjust the contrast, color and brightness settings.
• Poor picture quality may occur when an activated
S-VHS camera or camcorder is connected to your
TV and another peripheral at the same time. Switch
off one of the peripherals.
• Check the antenna connection and signal.
• This may be caused by electrical interference (e.g.
hairdryer, nearby neon lights, etc.).
• Power cycle the equipment by turning off and then
turning back on.
• Determine if the batteries are working and replace
batteries if necessary.
• Clean the remote control sensor lens on the TV.
• If necessary, utilize the buttons located on the side
of the TV.
• Select the TV mode to ensure your remote control
is set in the TV mode.
