Possible Remedies
Check if the antenna is broken or bent.
Check if the antenna has reached the end of its serviceable life. (3-5 years in
normal use, 1-2 years at the seaside.)
Keep the TV away from noise sources such as cars, motorcycles, or hair-
dryers.
Press PICTURE MODE to select the desired Picture mode (page 32).
Adjust the Picture Mode options in the Video menu (page 42).
Press PICTURE MODE to select the desired Picture mode (page 32).
Make sure that the antenna is connected using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial
cable.
Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cords.
Do not use 300-ohm twin lead cables as interference may occur.
Check the volume control.
Press MUTING or VOL + so that "Muting" disappears from the screen
(page 32).
Disconnect your headphones.
Set Speaker to On in the Audio menu (page 44). If it is set to Off, sound is
not output from the TV's speakers regardless of the TV's volume control.
Make sure that the antenna is connected using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial
cable.
Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cords.
Do not use 300-ohm twin lead cables as interference may occur.
Press MTS/SAP to select Mono (page 33).
This is caused by video head interference. Keep your VCR away from the
TV.
Leave a space of 30 cm (11 7/8 inches) between your VCR and the TV to
avoid noise.
Avoid installing your VCR in front of the TV or at the side of the TV.
If the option you want to select appears in a pale color, you cannot select it.
The TV automatically detects the aspect ratio signal transmitted with the
picture signal and displays the picture at its original aspect ratio (page 52).
If you set 16:9 Enhanced to On, the picture is forcibly compressed
vertically regardless of its aspect ratio signal. Therefore, a picture in the 4:3
aspect ratio, such as a normal 4:3 broadcast, looks unnatural because of
compression. This problem is more serious for a Letterbox movie because
the entire picture, including its upper and lower black bands, is compressed.
You can watch these pictures at their original aspect ratio by setting 16:9
Enhanced to Auto.
The batteries could be weak. Replace the batteries.
Check the polarity of the batteries.
Press the TV (FUNCTION) button first for TV operation.
Point the remote control at the remote control sensor of the TV.
Install the TV away from fluorescent lights.
Press FUNCTION button for the device you want to control.
