Troubleshooting
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly
delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a
heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)

• No power • Check if you pressed POWER on the TV/DVD,or on the remote control unit.
(See page 16.)
• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 9.)
• Has the power been turned on? (See page 16.)
• Unit cannot be operated. • External influences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper
operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning off the power of the TV/
DVD or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.
• Remote control unit does not
operate.
• Are batteries inserted with polarity ( +, – ) aligned? (See page 10.)
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?
• Is a fluorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?
• Picture is cut off/with sidebar
screen.
• Are screen mode adjustments such as view mode choose made correctly? (See
page 18.)

misalignment

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Power is suddenly turned off. • Is the sleep timer set? (See page 13.)
• Check the Auto Shut Off settings. (See page 24.)
• The unit’s internal temperature has increased.
Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

performance.
