Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting list.

•  Make sure the TV is plugged in.

•  Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.

•  You might be tuned to an input with no device connected to it to view. If you're trying to view a connected device, 

press INPUT and choose the option that matches the input of the device you connected.

• Maybe 

the 

Signal Source option is set incorrectly. Go to page 16 for detailed instructions.

•  The channel might be blank   — change channels.

•  If you’re watching your VCR and it’s connected with coaxial cable to the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT jack, tune the 

TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is selected on the 3/4 switch on the back of your VCR). Also check to 
make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).

•  If you're getting a black and white picture from a device you've connected to your TV, you might have your video 

cables connected to the wrong jacks. A yellow Video cable connects to the yellow VIDEO INPUT jack; three yellow 
video cables or bundled component video cables (red, blue, and green) connect to the COMPONENT INPUT jacks 
on the back of your TV.

•  Check antenna connections. Make sure all of the cables are fi rmly connected to the jacks.

•  Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals. Go to page 53 for more instructions.

•  Maybe the sound is muted.  Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound. 

•  If using S-Video or Y, PB, PR, remember to also connect the device’s left and right audio output jacks to the TV’s L 

and R Audio Input jacks.

•  The sound settings may not be set correctly. Go to page 36 for more information.

•  The internal speakers might be turned off. Go to page 37 for more information.

•  If you're trying to watch something that's playing on a device connected to the TV (like a DVD), press INPUT and 

choose the option that matches the input where you connected the DVD.

•  Make sure the device connected to the TV is turned on.

•  Try another channel.

•  Unplug the TV for ten minutes and then plug it back in. Turn the TV on and try again.

•  Sleep timer may have been activated. Go to page 37 for instructions.

•  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 or low. 

•  Unplug. Wait ten minutes. Plug in again.
