• Check to make sure it is plugged in, and try the front panel POWER button.
• Check the wall receptacle (and extension cord, if applicable) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something
else.
• Maybe batteries in remote control are “dead.” To test, see if the LED lights up when you press a button.
• Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.
TV turns off while playing
• Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn

CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the
cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If
necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.
Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will
damage the TV.
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV.
Also, avoid placing drinks, vases, or potted plants with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or
shock hazard or damage to the TV.
Caution: If fixed (non-moving) images are left on the screen for long periods, they may be permanently imprinted on
the screen. Such images include network logos, phone numbers, and video games. This damage is not covered by
your warranty. Extended viewing of channels displaying these images should be avoided.
