TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Sometimes a performance problem can be easily solved by checking seemingly apparent but often over-
looked possibilities. Before arranging for service, check these items. It could save your time and money.

*Additional Remote Test
Tune an AM radio to a station with no broadcasting. Press a button on the remote control toward the radio. Sound will be
fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This means the remote control unit is working.

QUICK SERVICE CHECK LIST

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE REMEDY

Try a new channel, if OK, then possible station trouble.

Is TV plugged in?
Power at outlet?

Is TV’s power on?

Is antenna or cable connected to terminal on the back of the set?

If outside antenna is being used, check for broken wire or loose connection.

Check for local interference.

Turn off the TV and then turn it on after about a minute.

Adjust COLOR control.

Adjust CONTRAST & BRIGHTNESS control.

Check batteries in remote control.

Move the TV away from the nearby appliances which generate a magnetic field.
Turn off using

[POWER]

, then turn it on again 30 minutes later or so.

Temperature around is too low.

Life of the Back Light is approximately 50,000 hours. Ask the Service Center to replace.

It is quality of the LCD Panel.

Check if there is an obstacle between the sensor and the remote control.

Test the signal output.* If OK, then possible remote sensor trouble.

Closed Caption Problem

Possible Remedy

Misspelled captions are shown.

Text is not shown in its entirety
or there is a delay of what is being said.

Captions are scrambled with white boxes
on the TV screen.

No captions are displayed in a program
which must contain closed caption.

No captions are displayed when playing a
prerecorded videotape with closed caption.

The TV screen shows a black box.

Spelling errors may pass through uncorrected by the closed caption-
ing production company in a live broadcast.

Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue
are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa-
nies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute.
If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that
the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.

Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc.
may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.

Broadcasters may use a time compression process to the actual pro-
gram so that additional advertising time can be given. In this case,
captions will be lost since the decoder cannot read the compressed
information.

The videotape may be either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating
company may accidentally have left out the captioning signals dur-
ing the copying process.

You are in TEXT mode. Select [CAPTION1], [CAPTION2] or [OFF].
