• Connect all components before you plug any power cords into the wall outlet or power strip.
• NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
• Turn off the TV before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions.

Safety information
• Prevent TV from overheating by placing in an area with good ventilation.

will not overheat the TV.

Avoid audio interference

• Position cables properly; insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• Route all cables down one side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.
• Keep twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Avoid direct light

• Do not place the TV where sunlight or room lighting is directed toward the screen. Use soft or
indirect lighting.

Troubleshooting
Please check the following list before requesting service.

There is no picture or sound.

• Make sure the power cord is properly inserted in the power outlet.
• Make sure the source type is set correctly.
• Make sure the antenna is properly connected.
• Make sure the volume is not set to minimum or the sound is not set to mute.
• Make sure the headphones are not connected.
• The TV may be receiving a signal other than from TV broadcasting stations.

Picture is not clear.

• Make sure the antenna cable is properly connected.
• Consider whether your TV signal is being properly received.
• Poor picture quality can occur due to a VHS camera, camcorder, or other peripheral being
connected at the same time. Switch off one of the other peripherals.
• The ‘ghost’ or double image may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due to high-rise
buildings or hills. Using a highly directional antenna may improve the picture quality.
• The horizontal dotted lines shown on the pictures may be caused by electrical interference, e.g.,
hair dryer, nearby neon lights, etc. Turn off or remove these.

Picture is too dark, too light or tinted.

• Check the color adjustment.
• Check the brightness setting.
• Check the sharpness function.
