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 OR CONTROLS DON'T WORK
• 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.
• 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's remote sensor.
• Maybe remote batteries are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try
replacing batteries correctly.
• Remove batteries and hold down one or more buttons for several
seconds, install the batteries and try remote.
TURNS ON OR OFF WHILE PLAYING
Schedule function may have been activated.
Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power
surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this happens
frequently,-the voltage in your house may be abnormally high.

NO PICTURE, NO SOUND BUT POWER LIGHT IS ON

• Maybe a vacant channel is tuned.
If watching VCR, make sure TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4 - same as CH3/4
switch on VCR. Also check to make sure TVNCR switch on VCR is in
correct position.
