Sound

Symptom

Remarks

1. There is no sound even when the

volume is turned up.

• Check if the

MUTE key is on.

• The TV’s analog

Listen to setting may be set to SAP (analog

program from the ANT input) but no SAP is being broadcast.

• Check that the

Sound > Audio > TV Speakers option is set to On

to hear sound from the TV speakers. Possibly the

TV Speakers

option is

Off or set to Center but there is no A/V receiver con-

nected.

• If using an A/V receiver, check that the

Sound > Audio > TV

Speakers option is set to Off to hear sound from the A/V receiver
speakers.

• Press and hold the

POWER button on the control panel for 10

seconds to perform System Reset.

• The language selected in the

Setup > Antenna Digital Audio

menu is not being broadcast for the current program.

2. The sound does not match the screen

picture.

The TV’s analog

Listen to setting may be set to SAP (analog program

from the ANT input).

3. The sound from my A/V receiver does

not match the screen picture (I should
hear the correct audio from my A/V
receiver).

• Check that

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT and/or AUDIO/SURROUND

OUTPUT on TV’s connection panel is connected to the A/V
receiver.
Without this connection, devices connected only to the TV (and
not the A/V receiver) can be heard only from the TV speakers.
Note that this includes the

ANT input, a device (such as a

camcorder) connected to the TV, and any other device sending
audio to the TV only.

• If using a NetCommand-controlled A/V receiver, NetCommand

may be selecting the wrong A/V receiver audio input. Check the
A/V receiver’s NetCommand setup in the

Inputs > AVR menu.

4. Cannot select an audio-only device; it

does not appear in the

Input Selection

menu.

Plug an unused video plug into the

Y/VIDEO jack to activate Auto

Input Sensing. Assign the name

CD/Audio or MP3 to make the

audio device selectable in the

Input Selection menu.

5.. Sound is coming from the TV speakers

instead of the A/V receiver.

• Connect the TV’s

AUDIO OUT to the A/V receiver.

• Change TV Speakers setting to

Off or Center.

7. A color program appears as a black and

white image, or the colors are dim, or the
screen is black.

• If using component video, check that the red, green, and

blue input cables are correctly connected to the red, green,
and blue component video jacks.

• If using composite video, check that the incoming cable is

connected the TV’s green

Y/VIDEO jack.

• 838 Series. The PerfectColor color balance has been incor-

rectly set. Reset the PerfectColor balance.

8. Picture from an HDMI input is noisy (poor

quality).

• Compare the picture to the TV’s test picture (

Picture >

Picture+ > Test Picture) to check if the noise is internal or
external to the TV.

• Upgrade a Category 1 (unmarked) HDMI cable to a newer

type of high-speed HDMI cable.

9. The image from a computer appears dis-

torted when viewed on the TV.

• Normal TV operation. The TV does not correct distortion in

the picture from a computer because the correction process
may cut off the edges of the image.

• The aspect ratio may be wrong for the image. Press

FORMAT

to change.
