Troubleshooting

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple “faults” that you can correct without the help of a service
technician. If you experience any difficulty with your TV, check a few basic remedies before calling
your service technician.

TV will not turn on

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.

Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries.

Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.

Try unplugging set for two minutes and then plug it back in and turn it on again.

Problems with remote

Maybe something is between the remote and the remote sensor.

Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the TV.

Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries.

Remove batteries and hold number 1 for at least 60 seconds to drain the microprocessor inside the remote.
Release number 1 and replace the batteries.

minutes or the TV will automatically turn off.
