Troubleshooting
If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this “Troubleshooting” well
before you request having the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For
example, if the AC plug is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the TV aerial has problems,
you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.
Important:
• This Troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes 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 success, 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.
• If the TV or aerial receives interference
„ If you cannot turn on the TV
from the other devices, stripes or noise
may appear in the picture. Move such
device 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.
• If the TV receives interferences 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.
• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings
for the TV channels correct? Follow
the description “COLOUR SYSTEM
button” on page 11 to try to solve the
trouble.
• Is the AC plug connected to the AC
outlet?
• Is the POWER lamp lit? If not, press
the Main power button.
„ No picture/No sound
• Have you chosen a TV channel whose
reception is extremely bad? In this
case, the BLUE BACK function will be
activated, 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 27 to try to change the
BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.
• Are your SOUND SYSTEM settings for
the TV channels correct?
Follow the description “SOUND
SYSTEM button” on page 11 to try to
solve the trouble.
„ Poor picture
• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been
controlled properly? Follow the
description “Adjusting the picture” on
page 20 to try to adjust them properly.
• Videotaping teletext is not
• If noise totally obscures the picture
(snow), the aerial or aerial cable may
have trouble. Check the following to try
to solve the trouble:
Has the TV and aerial been connected
properly?
Has the aerial cable been damaged?
Is the aerial pointed to the right
direction?
recommended because it may not
record correctly.
Is the aerial itself faulty?
37
Troubleshooting
• 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 you are viewing a teletext
programme, you cannot operate the
menus.
Press the TV/VIDEO button to return
the teletext programme to the ordinary
TV programme to try operating the
menus.
When the picture disappears from the
screen, the unnatural colours will also
disappear.
• 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 distorted.
This is due to the condition of the video
signal, and not because of
• Is the CHILD LOCK function set to
ON? If the CHILD LOCK function is set
to ON, you cannot operate the TV with
the front control buttons of the TV.
Follow the description “CHILD LOCK”
on page 27 to try to set the CHILD
LOCK function to OFF.
• 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.
malfunction.
„ Poor sound
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE
properly? If not, follow the description
“Adjusting the sound” on page 25 to try
to adjust them properly.
• The following functions do not operate
when receiving Progressive video
signal (525P signal).
• 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 25 to hear the sound more easily
by changing it to a mono sound.
Remote control function:
PIP, MULTI, FREEZE and STROBE
button.
MENU function:
TINT and PULL DOWN
„ Other concerns
„ Operation disabled
• When the AUTO SHUTOFF function
operates, the TV is automatically
turned off.
• Have the batteries of the remote
control become exhausted?
Follow the description “Putting the
batteries into the remote control” on
page 4 and replace them with new
batteries to try solve the problem.
• 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 is turned off suddenly, try to
press the POWER button to turn on
the TV once again. At this time, if the
TV resumes a normal state, there is no
problem.
• If you bring a magnetized device such
as a speaker near to your TV, a picture
may be warped or unnatural colours
appear at the corners of the screen. In
this case, keep the device apart from
your TV. If the speaker causes such
38
Troubleshooting
phenomena, use the magnetic-
shielded speaker instead.
• A picture may be tilted due to the
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In
this case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on
page 23 to complete the tilt.
• 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 frequently 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 phenomenon 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.
