GENERAL
• No power. • Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 25.)
• Has

• Check if you pressed TV  on the remote control unit. (See page 27.)
If the indicator on the system lights up red, press TV  on the remote control unit or STANDBY/ON on the
plasma display.
• Power is suddenly turned off. • Is the sleep timer set? (See page 59.)
• Check the power control setting. (See page 58.)
• The system’s internal temperature has increased. Clean the vents, or remove any blocking objects.
(See page 16.)
• The system cannot be operated. • External influences such as voltage malfunction, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation.
In this case, operate the system after first turning off the power of the plasma display, or unplugging the
power cord and re-plugging it in after one to two minutes.
• Remote control unit does not operate. • Check if TV  is off. Turn the button on when the POWER ON and STANDBY indicators are off.
