Chapter 9: Troubleshooting<br />

General troubleshooting<br />

Before calling a service technician, please check this<br />

chapter for a possible cause of the problem and some<br />

solutions you can try.<br />

Black box onscreen<br />

• The closed caption feature is set to one of the Text modes<br />

(T1, T2, T3, or T4). Set the closed caption feature to Off<br />

(- p. 35).<br />

TV stops responding to controls<br />

• If the TV stops responding to the remote control or TV control<br />

panel and you cannot turn off the TV, unplug the power cord<br />

to reset the TV. After 1 minute, plug it in and turn the TV on.<br />

Other problems<br />

• If your TV’s problem is not addressed in this Troubleshooting<br />

section or the recommended solution has not worked, do one<br />

of the following:<br />

1) Turn off your TV. After 30 seconds, turn it on.<br />

2) Turn off the TV and unplug the power cord. After 1 minute,<br />

plug the power cord in and turn on the TV.<br />

3) Perform the Reset Factory Defaults procedure (- p. 44).<br />

TV will not turn on<br />

• Ensure the power cord is plugged in. Press p.<br />

• Replace the remote control’s batteries.<br />

• Try the control panel buttons.<br />

Picture problems<br />

General picture problems<br />

• Check the antenna/cable connections (-p. 15).<br />

• Press INPUT on the remote control or on the TV and select a<br />

valid video input source (- p. 34). If no device is connected<br />

to an input on the TV, no picture appears when you select that<br />

particular input source. Check device connections (- p. 16–<br />

21).<br />

• Antenna reception may be poor. Use a highly directional<br />

outdoor antenna (if applicable).<br />

• The station may be having broadcast difficulties. Try another<br />

channel.<br />

• Adjust the picture quality (- p. 48).<br />

• If the Edge Booster does not achieve a sharper picture,<br />

change the Sharpness value to increase the sharpness level<br />

(- p. 48).<br />

Video Input Selection problems<br />

• If the Input Selection window does not appear when you<br />

press INPUT on the remote control or the TV control panel,<br />

press INPUT a second time. The TV displays the next video<br />

input source and the Input Selection screen.<br />

Cannot view external signals or channel 3 or 4<br />

• If you cannot view signals from external devices connected to<br />

VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, ColorStream HD1, ColorStream HD2,<br />

HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, HDMI 4, PC, or from channel 3 or<br />

4, ensure the Input Lock is set to Off (- p. 38).<br />

Poor color or no color<br />

• The station may be having broadcast difficulties. Try another<br />

channel.<br />

• Check the Input mode when you use Shared Inputs<br />

(- p. 30).<br />

• Adjust the Tint and/or Color (- p. 48).<br />

Poor composite picture<br />

• If the TV is connected to an external A/V device (e.g. DVD<br />

player, video game system, set-top box, etc.) try using a<br />

ColorStream or HDMI video connection instead.<br />

Picture and sound are out of sync<br />

• As with all products that contain a digital display, this may<br />

occur in rare instances when viewing certain content (e.g.<br />

television broadcasts, video games, DVDs). Possible causes<br />

may include, without limitation, video processing within the<br />

TV, video processing in an attached gaming system, and<br />

video processing or different compression rates used by<br />

broadcasters in their programming. Try the following<br />

procedures:<br />

– If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a<br />

programmable audio delay feature, use this feature to<br />

help synchronize the sound to the picture.<br />

– If the problem occurs only on certain TV channels, inform<br />

your local broadcast, cable, or satellite provider.<br />

• The settings of Side Shared Audio and Rear Shared Audio<br />

may be not correct. Ensure the settings (- p. 30).<br />

Sound problems<br />

• Check the antenna/cable connections (- p. 15–20).<br />

• The station may be having broadcast difficulties. Try another<br />

channel.<br />

• The sound may be muted. Press VOLUME.<br />

• If you hear no sound, try setting the MTS feature to<br />

Stereo mode (- p. 52).<br />

• If you are not receiving a second audio program from a<br />

known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to SAP<br />

mode (- p. 52).<br />

• If you hear audio that seems incorrect for the program you<br />

are watching (such as music or a foreign language), the SAP<br />

mode may be on. Set the MTS feature to Stereo mode<br />

(- p. 52).<br />

• If you connect a PC using either the PC IN terminal or an<br />

HDMI terminal, ensure that the Rear Shared Audio setting is<br />

properly set (- p. 42).<br />

Remote control problems<br />

• Ensure the remote control is set to the correct device mode<br />

(- p. 79).<br />

• Remove all obstructions between the remote control and the<br />

TV.<br />

• Replace the remote control’s batteries (- p. 22).<br />

• Your TV’s remote control may not operate certain features on<br />

your external device. Refer to the owner’s manual for your<br />

other device to determine its available features. If your TV<br />

remote control does not operate a specific feature on another<br />

device, use the remote control that came with the device<br />

(- p. 82–87).<br />

• If the TV still does not act as expected, perform the Reset<br />

Factory Defaults procedure (- p. 44).<br />

Channel tuning problems<br />

• Ensure the remote control is set to the correct device mode<br />

(- p. 79).<br />
