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

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.  
• When you are viewing a teletext  
programme, you cannot operate the  
menus.  
Press the TV/VIDEO button to return  
the teletext programme to the ordinary  
TV programme to try operating the  
menus.  
When the picture disappears from the  
screen, the unnatural colours will also  
disappear.  
• When viewing images from  
commercially available video software  
products, or videos from videotapes  
which have been recorded improperly,  
the top of the image may be distorted.  
This is due to the condition of the video  
signal, and not because of  
• 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.  
Follow the description “CHILD LOCK”  
on page 27 to try to set the CHILD  
LOCK function to OFF.  
• If the TV operation becomes disabled  
suddenly, press the Main power button  
on the TV and turn off the main power.  
Try to press the Main power button  
again to turn on the main power. If the  
TV returns to a normal state, it is not a  
failure.  
• The following functions do not operate  
when receiving Progressive video  
signal (525P and 625P signals).  
Remote control function:  
PIP, MULTI, FREEZE and STROBE  
button.  
malfunction.  
Poor sound  
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE  
properly? If not, follow the description  
“Adjusting the sound” on page 25 to try  
to adjust them properly.  
• When the TV channel reception is  
poor, it can be hard to hear the stereo  
or bilingual sound. In this case, follow  
the description “STEREO / I•II” on  
page 25 to hear the sound more easily  
by changing it to a mono sound.  
MENU function:  
TINT and PULL DOWN  
Other concerns  
Operation disabled  
• When the AUTO SHUTOFF function  
operates, the TV is automatically  
turned off.  
• Have the batteries of the remote  
control become exhausted?  
Follow the description “Putting the  
batteries into the remote control” on  
page 4 and replace them with new  
batteries to try solve the problem.  
• Have you attempted to use the remote  
control at the sides or rear of the TV or  
at a location more than seven meters  
apart from the TV location? Operate  
the remote control in the front of your  
TV or a location less than seven  
meters from your TV to try to solve the  
problem.  
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  
problem.  
• If you bring a magnetized device such  
as a speaker near to your TV, a picture  
may be warped or unnatural colours  
appear at the corners of the screen. In  
this case, keep the device apart from  
your TV. If the speaker causes such

Troubleshooting  
phenomena, use the magnetic-  
shielded speaker instead.  
• A picture may be tilted due to the  
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In  
this case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on  
page 23 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.
