ISSUES

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

No sound or picture

•  Check if the power cord is plugged into a powered AC outlet.
•  Press the 

[   ]

 button on the remote control to activate the unit from ‘Standby’ 

mode.

•  Check to see if the LED light is on or not. If it is, then the TV is receiving power.

I have connected an external 

source to my TV and I get no 

picture and/or sound

•  Check for the correct output connection on the external source and for the 

correct input connection on the TV.

•  Make sure you have made the correct selection for the input mode for the 

incoming signal.

When I turn on my TV, there is a 

delay for a few seconds before 

the picture appears. Is this 

normal?

•  Yes, this is normal. The TV is initializing and searching for previous setting 

information.

The picture is normal but there is 

no sound

•  Check the volume settings.
•  Check if ‘Mute’ mode is set to On.

Sound but no picture or black 

and white picture

•  If the picture is black and white, unplug the TV from the AC outlet and replug it 

after 60 seconds.

•  Check that the Color is set to 50 or higher. 
•  Try different TV channels.

The sound and/or picture is 

distorted or appears wavy

•  An electric appliance may be affecting the TV. Turn off any appliances that are 

nearby and move it farther away from the TV.

•  Insert the power plug of the TV set into another power outlet.

The sound and picture is blurry 

or cuts out

•  If using an external antenna, check the direction, position and connection of the 

antenna.

•  Adjust the direction of your antenna or reset or fine tune the channel.

A horizontal or vertical stripe 

appears on the picture and/or 

the picture is shaking

•  Check if there is an appliance or electric tool nearby that is causing 

interference.

The plastic cabinet makes a 

“clicking” type of sound

•  The ‘click’ sound can occur when the temperature of the television changes. 

This change causes the television cabinet to expand or contract, which makes 

the sound. This is normal and the TV is OK.

The remote control does not 

work

•  Confirm that TV still has power and is operational.
•  Change the batteries in the remote control.
•  Check if the batteries are correctly installed.
