If you experience any difficulty with your TV, check these basic remedies
before calling your service technician.
TV will not turn on or controls don’t work
• Check to make sure it is plugged in.
• Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live”
by plugging in something else.
• Try unplugging set for one minute, plugging it back in, and then
turning it on again.
• Make sure the Front Panel Lock feature is not set.
Problems with remote
• Maybe something is between the remote and the remote sensor.
• Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the TV's remote sensor.
• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try
replacing batteries.
Turns on or off while playing
• Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a
power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this happens

Blank screen or black box appears on the screen
• Try another channel.

• Captioning may be turned on. Check the Closed-Caption Display
control panel in the Screen menu.
No sound, picture okay

sound.
No picture, no sound, but power is on

• Maybe a vacant channel is tuned. Try another channel.
Sound okay, picture poor
