Sound
Sound - Disturbing sound
(such as buzzing, clicking,
cracking,
humming, whistling, etc)
.
It is normal to hear a disturbing sound (such as buzzing, clicking, cracking, humming, whistling, etc)
from a distance less than 2 meters (6 feet) with the television sound muted.
If problem occurs on one channel, you may have a signal problem. Please contact the cable provider
or local broadcaster regarding the specifi c channel.
Sound
Sound is not in stereo.
This could be due to any of the following reasons:
- Not all transmitted broadcasts by the cable or broadcast stations are in STEREO. Try checking with
several major
network stations to be sure that the station you selected is in STEREO.
- SAP is turned ON. When SAP is turned ON, the sound mode is automatically set to MONO.
- Sound mode is set to MONO. Set the sound mode to STEREO. (Refer to page 17).
- STEREO is not displayed on the screen when watching from a playback device (such as DVD, DVD
recorder, VCR, etc.). When using an AV input, the television will not display STEREO even though it
is producing stereo sound.
