Possible solution

• Press unit POWER button down over 7 seconds. The POWER indicator goes
out. If the Power was On, the screen will also disappear. After 5 seconds, turn
Power On and operate unit normally. If the steps above do not restore normal
operation, disconnect then reconnect the AC plug and turn the power On.
• Please consult your nearest dealer.
• Are the batteries dead or inserted incorrectly?
• Is the Remote Control sensor in direct fluorescent lamp light or other strong
sources of light?
• Is the antenna or antenna cable old, broken, or shorted out?
• Is the antenna cable connected properly?
A sudden temperature change may have caused condensation in the internal
•
optics which results in blurring or vertical lines. Please wait until room
temperature is normal and constant before turning power ON. These symptoms
will clear up as time passes.
• Depending on the connected device, a 1080i input signal may cause the picture
to flicker. If the connected device has a format selection switch, set the format
to 720p.
• When using a VCR and selecting channels on the TV, is the TV/VIDEO mode
for the VCR set to TV?
• Is the antenna facing the right direction?
• Is the antenna receiving any signals reflected off of mountains or buildings?
• When using 16:9 image software (cinema vision size software, etc.), there is no
picture at the top and bottom of the screen.
• Please adjust the V-Size. This is not a mulfunction.
• This is a characteristic of the LCD panel and not a malfunction.
• This is because the cooling fan is operating. The fan will stop after about
3 minutes.
