Troubles
sometimes
are caused by simple "faults"
that you can
easily correct
without
the help of a service technician
by first
checking
a few basic remedies.
Before you call or take your unit to an Authorized
RCA TV
Servicenter,
look below for the type of trouble you are
experiencing.
Then perform the simple checks and adjustments
listed for that trouble.
If your unit is still in warranty,
these checks and adjustments
could save you time and the cost of an unneeded
trip to the
servicer.
They also could save you the cost of a diagnosis
not
covered
by your warranty.
If your unit is out of warranty,
these checks and adjustments
could save you the cost of an unneeded
diagnosis.
If service
should be necessary, the warranty explains how to get it.
