Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What's the most convenient way to view High Definition (HD) video?
Connect an antenna to the TV Input jack to view free local digital channels. You may need to purchase an antenna.
Visit www.antennaweb.org for assistance in deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local digital channels available to you.
After entering your location, this mapping program tells you which local analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna.

Are there other ways to view High Definition(HD) video?
Besides using an antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a settop box to receive digital video. Contact your cable service provider or satellite provider to purchase digital programming and have them connect the box to ensure you are viewing channels in the best way.

How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?
Press the OK button to display the Channel Bar. (On Screen Display) is used, Look at the topright corner of the screen.
An "A" is displayed for an analog channel. A "D" is displayed for a digital channel. Note: Since the analog TV inAmerica has been cut off, we reserve analog TV function only for some unexpected use.

Why are there bars on my screen, and can I get rid of them?
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which fills your screen, but is sometimes sent in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting the video. If there are bars on the screen, Check Screen size in the picture mode to try a different format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. The format changes as you choose screen size type in the picture mode and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Why does channel search find a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them, there's nothing there?
Some channels don't carry programming, such as video On Demand. When channels are unavailable, your TV screen is blank or appears like snow. You probably want to remove these channels from your channel list. Remove these in the Channel List Menu.

Why does it take a long time when I search the channels at first time?
If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the channel list. If you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled channels, and each sub-channel of that digital channel.

• Unplug the TV from the AC power for 10 minutes and then plug it back. Turn the TV on and try again.

The TV turns off unexpectedly.

• The electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn the TV on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormal. If the other electronic equipment in your home can't work normally, consult a qualified service personnel.

Can't select a certain channel.

• The channel may be blocked or not approved in the PARENTAL control Menu.
• The channel may be skipped in channel list in CHANNEL Menu. Check the blocking and skipping status of channel.

The stereo sound performance is bad.

• It may be a weak station. Use the AUDIO Menu and set Analog Sound as Mono.

A black box appears on the screen.

• Closed captioning might be on. Check Closed Caption in the SETUP menu.

Problems with the HDMI Connection.

• Make sure the HDMI device (DVD, video gamer, etc.) is turned on and the cables are firmly connected. If problems still occur, turn off your device and reconnect it. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and plugging it again.
• If a "No Signal" message appears on screen, the HDMI device isn't responding. Contact the manufacturer of the HDMI device for further assistance.
• If you have black bars on each side of your picture (which means the TV can not display a full-screen image), the device you connected might have a switch or a menu option allowing you to change the picture quality output that will fix this. Choose either 720p or 1080i.

The Remote control doesn't work.

• There may be an AC power failure or the power cord unplugged in.
• Something might be blocking between the remote control and the remote sensor on the front panel of the TV. Make sure there is a clear path.
• The remote may not be aimed directly at the TV.
• The batteries in the remote may be weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote.

You are experiencing problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls.

• If the rating limits don't work, you must lock the settings. Go to the Main Menu (press MENU on your remote), select PARENTAL control to check the settings.

What else can I do?
If you've been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has fixed your problem, try rebooting your TV.
Note that after a reboot, you may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To reboot, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or power strip.
Keep your TV unplugged for about 5 minutes. Then plug in the TV and turn it on. See if the problem is fixed.
