You can not hear any sound. Did you perhaps interrupt the sound, pressing the button? Sound is coming from only one of the speakers. Is the balance set to one direction extreme? See Sound menu.

Connecting Subwoofer

Care Of The Screen

Clean the screen with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive solvents as they may damage the TV screen coating layer.

Your TV no longer responds to the remote control. Perhaps the batteries are exhausted. If so you can still use the local buttons at the bottom of the TV. Have you selected the wrong menu? Press the button to return to TV mode or press button to return to the previous menu. the

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system? Is your TV set or house aerial located too close to non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc.? Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the aerial. Is the picture or Teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. The picture quality may degrade when two peripherals are connected to the TV at the same time. In such a case, disconnect one of the peripherals.

No solution:

Switch your TV set off and on. If this does not work, call the service personnel; never attempt to repair it yourself.

No Picture

Is the aerial connected properly? Are the plugs connected tightly to the aerial socket? Is the aerial cable damaged? Are suitable plugs used to connect the aerial? If you are in doubt, consult your dealer. No Picture means that your TV is not receiving any transmission. Have you pressed the correct buttons on the remote control? Try once more.
