humming, whistling,
etc).

It is normal to hear a disturbing sound (such as buzzing, clicking, cracking, humming, whistling, etc)

If problem occurs on one channel, you may have a signal problem. Please contact the cable provider or
local broadcaster regarding the specific channel.

Sound is not in
Stereo.

This could be due to any of the following reasons:

. Not all transmitted broadcasts by the cable or broadcast stations are in STEREO. Try checking with

several major network stations to be sure that the station you selected is in STEREO.

2. When SAP is turned ON, the sound mode is automatically set to MONO.
3. Sound mode is set to MONO. Set the sound mode to STEREO. (Refer to page 7).

4. When using an AV input, the television will not display STEREO even though it is producing stereo

sound.

Check the TV power cord. Unplug the power cord from the TV, wait 0 seconds, then reinsert the
plug into your wall outlet. Power On the TV again.

Plug the power cord directly to the wall socket and not via an extension cord.
If you need to use an extension cord, check that the fuse on the AC power strip is not blown.
