Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Remarks |
|---|---|
| A fan is running even while the TV is powered off. | The room is too warm. When the TV is off, internal components continue to draw power and must be cooled by the fan. |
| The TV remote control does not work. | -Check that the batteries are fresh and installed correctly. -Be no more than 20 feet from the TV when using the remote control. -Reset the remote control. |
| When I try to use the remote control, the POWER key blinks five times. | Replace the batteries |
| TV does not respond to the remote control or to control-panel buttons and TV will not power on or off | -Unplug the AC power cord for 10 seconds. -Press and hold the POWER button on the control panel to perform system reset. |
| When a device is selected from the inputs menu, the screen is blue or black or the screen saver appeared (no signal source) | -Make sure the selected device is turned on. -Begin play of the device. |
| Rating restrictions are not working. | Open the Locks menu and: Verify that the ratings locks are active. Rating restrictions apply only to content on the antenna input. |
| TV takes an excessively long time to power on | When powered on, the TV needs time to boot up, just as a computer does. Also, the TV’s lamp requires a few moments to heat up to full brightness. |
| You cannot program the TV to turn on automatically (Timer function) | -The TV may be locked. -The clock may not be set. |
| TV will not power off | Press the POWER button on the control panel for ten seconds to perform System Reset. |
| Picture does not look like a high-definition picture. | Not all signals are high-definition signals. To receive high-definition programming from your cable or satellite provider, you must subscribe to the provider’s high-definition service. Some over-the-air broadcasts are in high-defi nition and can be received with a high-quality antenna suited to your location. |
| TV has sound but no picture | -Check that all video inputs are plugged in firmly. -Press and hold the POWER button on the control panel for ten seconds to perform System Reset. |
| Picture has become dimmer | -The lamp is nearing the end of its life. Order a new lamp. -Adjust picture brightness and contrast to maximum levels. |
| Picture from an HDMI input is noisy (poor quality). | Upgrade a Category 1 (unmarked) HDMI cable to a high-speed HDMI cable. |
| The image from a computer appears distorted when viewed on the TV. | Normal TV operation. The TV does not correct distortion in the picture from a computer because the correction process may cut off the edges of the image. The picture shape may be wrong for the image. Press FORMAT to change. |
| The sound does not match the screen picture. | The TV’s Sound > Analog Listen To setting may be set to SAP (analog program from the antenna input). |
| The sound from my A/V receiver does not match the screen picture (I should hear the correct audio from my A/V receiver). | Check that DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT on TV’s main panel is connected to the A/V receiver. Without this connection, devices connected only to the TV (and not the A/V receiver) can be heard only from the TV speakers. Note that this includes the ANT input and any device sending audio to the TV only. |
