Troubleshooting and error codes
| PROBLEMS | CHECK |
|---|---|
| There is no power | See if the power cord became unplugged. Check for a blown fuse or circuit breaker or a power outage. |
| There is no picture or sound | The antenna could be disconnected. The input mode could be set improperly. See page 42. The tuner (Auto Tuner Setup) could be set improperly. See page 22. The TV station may be having difficulties. Check to see if other stations are working. |
| Remote control is not operating properly or at all | Check to see that the batteries are still working and properly installed. Make sure the remote has a clear sight path to the TV. Check that the TV/CATV switch is in the proper position. You may be too far from the TV. You must be within 23 feet (7 meters). |
| You cannot select a certain channel | Make sure the channels have been programmed. See "Channel Summary", page 25. Check to see if the channel is locked. See "Channel Summary - Lock" page 25. |
| The power turns off by itself | Make sure the set did not become unplugged. Perhaps the On/Off Timer is set. See page 37. Check to see if the Sleep Timer was set. See page 41. |
| The clock is wrong | The power was interrupted and the clock was not reset. See page 23. |
| The On Timer is blinking | There is a problem with the TV. Unplug the set and call for service. |
| The color quality is poor | Tint and Color may be improperly adjusted. See page 34. The Video Status mode may be turned to the wrong setting. See page 35. |
| There are lines across the picture | There could be interference from another electrical appliance, such as a computer, another TV or VCR. Move any such appliances further away from the TV. |
| The picture is spotted | There could be interference from a high-wattage appliance, like a hairdryer or vacuum, operating nearby. Move the antenna away from the appliance or change to a coaxial cable connection which is less prone to interference. |
| There are double pictures (ghosts) | A building or passing airplane can reflect the original signal and produce a second, slightly delayed one. Adjust your antenna position. |
| Picture is snowy (image noise) | Your antenna may be damaged, disconnected or turned. Check the antenna connection. If the antenna is damaged, replace it. |
