Troubleshooting

Most problems you encounter with your TV can be 
corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting list.

No picture, no sound

1. Check if the fuse or circuit breaker is working.
2. Plug another electrical device into the outlet to make 
    sure it is working or turned on.
3. Power plug is in a bad contact with the outlet. 
4. Check the signal source.

2. Adjust the saturation.
3. Try another channel. Black-white program may be 
    received.

VOLUME UP

 button to increase volume.

2. Volume is set to mute, press the 

Mute

 button to 

    restore sound.
3. Change the sound system.
4. Broadcasting failure may happen.

Unorderly ripples on the picture

It is usually caused by local interference, such as cars, 
daylight lamps and hair driers. Adjust the antenna to 
minimize the interference. 

1. Adjust the position and orientation of the indoor/outdoor 
    antenna.
2. Check the connection of antenna.
3. Fine tune the channel.
4. Try another channel. Broadcasting failure may happen.

Ignition

Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture 
flutters or drifts. This is usually caused by interference 
from car ignition system, neon lamps, electric drills, or 
other electrical appliance.

Ghost

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two 
paths. One is the direct path, the other is reflected from 
tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the direction 
or position of the antenna may improve the reception.

Radio frequency interference

This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal 
streaks, and in some case, loss of contrast in the picture. 
Find out and remove the radio interference source.

Snowy dots and interference

If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television 
signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be marred 
by dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be 
necessary to install a special antenna to improve the 
reception.
