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.
Maybe the remote isn't aimed directly at the component
(TV or VCR) that you're trying to operate.
Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so remote will control TV.
Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly.
Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if you remove the
batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)
You might need to drain the remote's microprocessor:
remove batteries and press the number 1 button for at least 60 seconds.
Release the 1 button, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) program the remote again.
PIP (Picture-In-Picture
Feature)
Doesn't
Work
The PiP feature on this TV only works if you connect a second video source (like a VCR or satellite receiver), to your TV with audio/
video cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment. Contact your cable company and/or go to page 12 for more
details about a cable box connection.
Make sure the remote
is in the right mode.
For example,
once
you turn on the VCR with the VCR1 button,
you can't SWAP the
pictures
until you put the remote
in TV mode.
Just press the TV button.
No signal or bad reception?
Most VCRs and satellite
receivers
have an antenna
or TV button.
If your cable or off-air antenna
goes into
your VCR or satellite
receiver,
then into your TV, try pressing
the antenna
or TV/VCR button
on the front of the component.
Tip: If programmed
to control
your VCR, the ANTENNA button
on the remote
acts as a TV/VCR button.
