You are having problems with the HDMI Connection.
• Make sure the HDMI or DVI component is turned on and the cables are firmly connected. If problems
still occur, turn off your component and reconnect it. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord
and plugging it back in.
• If you are tuned to the HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 INPUT and you're receiving Unusable Signal message
onscreen, press the InFO button on the remote. If Acquiring Channel appears in the Channel Banner,
the HDMI or DVI device isn't responding. Contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI device for further
assistance.
• If you tune to the HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 INPUT and you see snow, the video goes in and out, or the video
takes a long time to appear, your HDMI or DVI component is having trouble sending video information to
the TV. Re-connect your device. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back
in. If problems persist, try connecting the Y Pb Pr jacks if they are available or contact the manufacturer
of the HDMI or DVI component for further assistance.
• If you have black bars on each side of your picture, the component you connected might have a switch
or a menu option allowing you to change the picture quality output that will fix this. Choose either 720p
or 1080i.
• 480i signals aren't supported by the HDMI2/DVI or HDMI1 INPUT
The remote control doesn't work.
• Something might be between the remote and the remote light sensor on the front of the TV. Make sure
there is a clear path.

You are experiencing problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls.
• If the rating limits don't work, you must lock the settings. Go to the Main Menu (press MENU on your
remote), select Parental Control, select Lock Parental Control.

and CAnCeL on the remote for 10 seconds. next time you enter the Parental Control Menu, enter a
new password.

to View Separately in order to view movies with an nR rating.
