Possible Solution
• Make sure that the Plasma Display and the Media Receiver are connected correctly.
(See page 17.)
• Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 20.)
• Has the main power been turned on? (See pages 21 and 22.)
• Check if you pressed buttons 0 – 9 on the remote control unit. (See page 21.)
• If the indicator on the system lights up red, press 0 – 9.
• Check if the system cable has been disconnected or almost disconnected. (See page 17.)
• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation.
In this case, operate the system after first turning off the power of the Plasma Display and the Media
Receiver, or unplugging the power cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.
• Are batteries inserted with polarity (+, –) aligned? (See page 19.)
• Are batteries worn out? Replace with new batteries. (See page 19.)
• Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote control sensor on the Plasma Display.
(See page 19.)
• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?
• Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?
• Check if the input source for video has been unintentionally selected although you want to watch a TV
channel. (See page 22.)
• Check if you have selected a channel blocked with Child Lock. (See page 28.)
• Enter a password to temporarily cancel Child Lock. (See page 38.)
• Check the cable connection with the antenna. (See page 20.)
• Check the cable connection with the other equipment. (See pages 40 to 43.)
• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 40 to 43.)
• Is the Input Select setting correct? (See page 36.)
• Check if you have selected "Picture Off" for Energy Save. With this option selected, the screen is deactivated:
only sound is output. To restore the screen display, press any button other than i +/i – or e
