Possible Remedies
❏
This is a normal sound that results from the TV automatically degaussing
each time it is turned on.
❏
The LED (see page 12) blinks when the TV is turned on, then shuts off
when the picture is displayed. If the LED blinks for more than a minute,
this may indicate the TV needs service. When lit, indicates that the timer is
set (page 92). When the timer is set, this LED will remain lit even when the
TV is turned off.
❏
If you are connecting a VCR and digital cable box using a splitter, as
described on page 24, you must use a special bi-directional splitter that is
designed to work with your digital cable box. Contact your cable TV
company for details.
❏
Only analog channels can be recorded to your VCR.
