The channel might be blank — change channels.

The Remote Control Doesn't Work
•
Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there
is a clear path.

•
For Volume Punchthrough, remember to program the AUDIO button on the TV's remote control to
operate your audio receiver or amplifier. Go to page 15 for instructions. If you can't program this
remote to operate your audio receiver, Volume Punchthrough won't work.
Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls
The rating limits don't work
•
You must activate the settings. Go to the MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental
Control, highlight and turn on Lock Parental Controls (box has check mark).
I don't remember my password and I want to unlock the TV
•
If you forget your password you can reset it. Make sure no menus are displayed on-screen.
Simultaneously press and hold VOL < on the TV's side panel and the OK button on the remote for
approximately 10 seconds. Enter a new password next time you access the Lock Parental Controls
menu.
The V-Chip won't let me watch a program even though it's not rated as violent.
•
Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must
unlock NR separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.
Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the
ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
The TV's screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to
scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm
water. Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive
powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV.
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the
screen and inside the TV. Also, never place drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This
could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.
