Troubleshooting: Before Contacting Service Personnel

Before contacting service personnel

Problem

Possible Solution

No sound or picture

Check that the mains lead has been connected to a wall socket.

Check that you have pressed the button on your set.

Check the picture contrast and brightness settings.

Check the volume.

Normal picture but no sound

Check the volume.

Check whether the 

MUTE

M

 button has been pressed on the remote control.

Check the 

Speaker Select 

settings.

Screen is black and power 

indicator light blinks steadily

On your computer check; Power, Signal Cable.

The TV is using its power management system.

Move the computer’s mouse or press any key on the keyboard.

No picture or black and white 

picture

Adjust the colour settings.

Check that the broadcast system selected is correct.

Sound and picture interference

Try to identify the electrical appliance that is affecting the set and move it further away.

Plug your set into a different mains socket.

Blurred or snowy picture, 

distorted sound

Check the direction, location and connections of your aerial.

This interference is often due to the use of an indoor aerial.

Remote control malfunctions

Replace the remote control batteries.

Clean the upper edge of the remote control (transmission window).

Check the battery terminals.

‘Check signal cable.’ message is 

displayed

Check that the signal cable is firmly connected to the PC or video sources.

Check that the PC or video sources are turned on.

On PC mode, ‘Not Supported 

Mode.’ message is displayed

Check the maximum resolution and the frequency of the video adaptor.

Compare these values with the data in the Display Modes.

The damaged picture appears in 

the corner of the screen

If 

Screen Fit

 is selected in some external devices, the damaged picture may appear in the corner of the 

screen. This symptom is caused by external devices, not TV.

The ‘Resets all settings to 

the default values.’ message 

appears.

This appears when you press and hold the 

EXIT

 button for a while. The product settings are reset to the 

factory defaults.

You may see small particles if 

you look closely at the edge of 

the bezel surrounding the TV 

screen.

This is part of the product’s design and is not a defect.

This TFT LCD panel uses a panel consisting of sub pixels (6 220 800) which require sophisticated technology to produce. 

However, there may be few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the 

product.
