Picture and sound are out of sync
As with all products that contain a digital display, in rare
instances, when viewing certain content (e.g.. television
broadcasts, video games, DVDs), you may notice that
the sound and picture are slightly out of sync. This
phenomenon can be caused by various factors including,
without limitation, video processing within the TV,
video processing in an attached gaming system, and
video processing or different compression rates used by
broadcasters in their programming. You may want to try
one or more of the following suggestions, which may
help to reduce the effect of this phenomenon:
If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a
programmable audio delay feature, use this feature to
help synchronize the sound to the picture.
If you notice this phenomenon only on certain TV
channels, please contact your local broadcast, cable, or
satellite provider to inform them of this issue.

The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another
channel.

Stereo mode ( page 36,37).
If you are not receiving a second audio program from a
known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to
SAP mode ( page 36,37).
If you hear audio that seems "incorrect" for the program
you are watching (such as music or a foreign language),
the SAP mode may be on. Set the MTS feature to
Stereo mode ( page 36,37).
Remote control problems
Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device
mode ( page 21).
Remove all obstructions between the remote control and
the TV.
The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the
batteries ( page 20).
Your TV remote control may not operate certain features
on your external device. Refer to the owner's manual
for your other device to determine its available features.
If your TV remote control does not operate a specific
feature on another device, use the remote control that
came with the device ( pages 22–26).
Channel tuning problems
Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device
mode ( page 21).
The channel may be setting to "Not Viewable" by the
Manual Ch Set feature. Please set "Viewable" to
unblock the channel ( page 31).
If you are unable to tune digital channels, check the
antenna configuration ( page 29). If you are still
unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from
the channel list ( page 31) and reprogram channels
into the channel memory ( page 30).
