standby, you hear a creaking sound from the display
chassis. The creaking sound is due to the normal
expansion and contraction of the display as it cools
and warms up. This does not affect performance.
Display does not respond to the remote control
The display requires some time to start up. During this
time, the display does not respond to the remote

remote control, you can check if the remote control is
working by means of a mobile phone camera. Put the
phone in camera mode and point the remote control

remote control and you notice the infra red LED
flicker through the camera, the remote control is

This method of checking the remote control is not
