Picture issues 

The TV is on, but there is no picture or the 
picture is distorted:

 

 

Make sure that the antenna is properly 
connected to the TV. 

 

Make sure that the correct device is 
selected as the display source. 

 

Make sure that the external device or 
source is properly connected. 

There is sound but no picture:

 

Make sure that the picture settings are set 
correctly. 

 

 

There is poor TV reception from an 
antenna connection:

 

 

Make sure that the antenna is properly 
connected to the TV. 

 

Loud speakers, unearthed audio 
devices, neon lights, high buildings, and 
other large objects can influence 
reception quality. If possible, try to 
improve the reception quality by 
changing the antenna direction or 
moving devices away from the TV. 

 

If reception on only one channel is 
poor, fine-tune this channel. 

 

 

 

There is poor picture quality from 
connected devices:

 

 

Make sure that the devices are 
connected properly. 

 

Make sure that the picture settings are 
set correctly.  

The TV did not save your picture settings:

 

Make sure that the TV location is set to 

Home

. You can change and save settings in 

this mode. 

 

 

The picture does not fit the screen; it is 
too big or too small:

 

Change the different picture format. 

The picture format keeps changing with 
different channels:

 

Instead of the picture format 

[Auto zoom]

select a different picture format. 

The picture position is incorrect:

 

Picture signals from some devices may not fit 
the screen correctly. Check the signal output 
of the device. 

 

 

An "e-sticker" banner displaying 
information appears on the TV display:

 

The TV is in 

[Shop]

 mode. To remove the 

e-sticker, set the TV to 

[Home]

 mode, then 

restart the TV. See 

Setup your TV > Other 

settings > Location

 (Page 

40

). 

 

 

The computer display on the TV is not 
stable:

 

 

Make sure that your PC uses the 
supported resolution and refresh rate. 

See 

Product specifications > Display 

resolutions

 (Page 

60

). 

 

Change the TV picture format to 

[Unscaled]

 

Sound issues 

There is picture but no sound from the TV:

 

If no audio signal is detected, the TV 

automatically switches the audio output off 
— this does not indicate malfunction. 

 

Make sure that all cables are properly 
connected. 

 

Make sure that the volume is not 
muted or set to zero.
