problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

• This Troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose cause are not easy to determine. If a question arise when you are

operating a function, read the page(s) corresponding to the operation of the function well, not this Troubleshooting guide.

• After you have followed the Troubleshooting description or the operating description of the functions concerned without any suc-

cess, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet and request a repair of your TV. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or

remove the rear cover of the TV.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may

not record correctly.

• Is the AC plug connected to the AC outlet?

• When a white and bright still image (such as a white dress)

is displayed on the screen, the white part may look as if it

were coloured. It is a phenomenon unavoidable due to the

nature of the picture tube itself, and not due to a TV failure.

When the picture disappears from the screen, the unnatural

colours will also disappear.

No picture/No sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel whose reception is extreme-

ly bad? In this case, the BLUE BACK function will be activat-

ed, the entire screen becomes blue, and the sound is muted.

In spite of this, if you want to view the TV channel, follow the

description “BLUE BACK” on page 21 to try to change the

BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

• When viewing images from commercially available video

software products, or videos from videotapes which have

been recorded improperly, the top of the image may be dis-

torted. This is due to the condition of the video signal, and

not because of malfunction.

• Have you connected the headphones to the TV? Connect-

ing the headphones to the TV causes sounds not to be is-

sued from the TV speakers.

Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow

the description “Sound Adjustment” on page 18 to try to ad-

just them properly.

• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel is incorrect, it may

prevent the sound from being issued. Follow the description

“EDIT/MANUAL” on page 24 to use the MANUAL function to

try to change the SYSTEM setting.

• When the TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to

hear the stereo or bilingual sound. In this case, follow the

description “STEREO / I • II” on page 18 to hear the sound

more easily by changing it to a mono sound.

Poor picture

• If noise totally obscures the picture (snow), the aerial or aer-

ial cable may have trouble. Check the following to try to

solve the trouble:

Operation disabled

• Have the batteries of the remote control become exhaust-

ed? Follow the description “Putting Batteries into the Re-

mote Control” on page 2 and replace them with new

batteries to try to solve the problem.

Has the TV and aerial been connected properly?

Has the aerial cable been damaged?

Is the aerial pointed to the right direction?

Is the aerial itself faulty?

• Have you attempted to use the remote control at the sides

or rear of the TV or at a location more than seven meters

apart from the TV location? Operate the remote control in

the front of your TV or a location less than seven meters

from your TV to try to solve the problem.

• If the TV or aerial receives interference from the other devic-

es, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move such

devices as an amplifier, personal computer, or a hair drier

that can cause interference away from your TV, or try

changing its location. If the aerial suffers interference from a

radio tower or high-voltage wire, please contact your local

dealer.

• When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot op-

erate the menus. Press the

programme to the ordinary TV programme to try operating

the menus.

button to return the teletext

• If the TV receives interference from signal reflecting from

mountains or building, double-pictures (ghosting) will occur.

Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace the antenna

with the one with better directionality.

• If the TV operation becomes disabled suddenly, press the

Main power button on the TV and turn off the main power.

Try to press the Main power button again to turn on the main

power. If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings for the TV channels

correct? Follow the description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on

page 16 to try to solve the trouble.

• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been controlled properly? Follow

the description “Picture Adjustment” on page 15 to try to ad-

just them properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Other concerns

• When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is auto-

matically turned off. If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to

press the

(Standby) button to turn on the TV once again.

At this time, if the TV resumes a normal state, there is no

problem.

• When a WSS signal is included in the broadcast signal or

the signal from an external device, or when the TV is receiv-

ing a control signal from an external device, the ZOOM

mode will change automatically. When you want to return to

the previous ZOOM mode, press the c button to

choose the ZOOM mode again.

• If you bring a magnetised device such as a speaker near to

your TV, a picture may be warped or unnatural colors ap-

pear at the corners of the screen. In this case, keep the de-

vice apart from your TV. If the speakers causes such

phenomena, use the magnetic-shielded speakers instead.

• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation

such as changing channels is performed until an image is

displayed. This is not a malfunction. This is the time required

for the image to stabilize before it can be displayed.

• The TV may emit a crackling sound due to a sudden change

in temperature. It does not matter if a picture or sound does

not show any abnormality. If you hear crackling sounds fre-

quently while you are viewing the TV, other causes may be

assumed. For precautionary purposes, request your service

technician to inspect it.

• Touching the screen may cause you feel a slight electric

shock due to its static electricity. It is an unavoidable phe-

nomenon due to the construction of the picture tube. It is not

a problem with the TV. You can rest assured that this static

discharge does not have harmful influence over the human

body.

• When a menu is displayed on the screen, the ZOOM mode

may be automatically changed to the FULL mode. This is

not a malfunction. When the menu disappears, the ZOOM

mode will return to the previously set ZOOM mode.
