How to reset the TV to factory
settings.
Explanation/Solution
❑
The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause
your TV's screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small
blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. This is due to your
TV's large screen and ability to show very fine detail, and is normal for
certain digitally recorded programs.
❑
Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.
❑
Point the remote control at the remote control sensor of the TV.
❑
Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try
turning off the fluorescent lamps.
❑
Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.
❑
Certain cable companies have limitations on the broadcast of digital cable
channels. Check with your cable company for more information.
❑
The digital cable channel may be set to Hidden in the Show/Hide
Channels setting (see page 33).
❑
Select the Parental Lock menu, then enter the following master
password: 4357. The master password clears your previous password and
allows you to enter a new password (page 34).
❑
Turn on the TV. While holding down V on the remote control, press
POWER on the TV. Release the V button.
WARNING: Parental Lock password may be required if it has been created.
The reset will clear all of your customized settings.
