TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubles sometimes are caused by simple "faults"
that you can correct without
the
help of a service technician.
If you experience
any difficulty
with your TV, check a few
basic remedies before calling your service technician.
TV will not turn on
•
Check to make sure it is plugged
in.
•
Check the wall receptacle (or extension
cord) to make sure it is "live"
by
plugging
in something
else.
•
Maybe batteries in remote control
are "dead."
•
Maybe remote control
is not aimed at remote sensor.
•
The front panel controls
may be locked (disabled).
Use the remote control
to
unlock the front
panel controls
by selecting
the Front Panel Block in the Parental
Controls menu and choosing
Unblock.
Controls
don't work
•
If using remote control,
make sure remote is in TV mode by first pressing TV
button.
•
The front panel MENU button
may be disabled. Use the remote control to turn
off channel blocking.
Select Channel Block in the Parental Controls menu and
choose Off.
•
Try unplugging
set for two minutes and then plug it back in and turn it on again.
Problems with remote
•
Maybe something
is between
the remote and the remote sensor.
•
Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the component
(TV or VCR) you are
trying
to control.
•
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. Try replacing
batteries. (Note, if you remove the batteries,
you may have to reprogram
the
remote to control other components.)
•
Remove batteries and hold number
1 for at least 60 seconds to drain the
microprocessor
inside the remote. Release number
1, replace the batteries,
and
(if necessary) reprogram
the remote.
Guide comes on when I turn on TV
•
The Guide automatically
comes up when you use the TV button
on the remote to
turn on the TV. You can turn off this feature
by selecting GUIDE Plus+ Menu from
the Main Menu, then select Setup, then select Options and then select Off.
Turns off while playing
•
Schedule off function
may have been activated.
•
Electronic protection
circuit may have been activated
because of a power surge.
Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again.
If this happens frequently,
the voltage
in your house may be abnormally
high or low.
•
Unplug. Wait five minutes.
Plug in again.
