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

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.
• 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.

on page 22 to try to set the CHILD
LOCK function to OFF.

screen, the unnatural colours will also

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

Troubleshooting
• A picture may be tilted due to the
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In
this case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on
page 18 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.
