Troubleshooting

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear

slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight

or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C.

• No power.

• Unit cannot be operated.

• Remote control unit does notoperate.

• Picture is cut off.

• Strange colour, light colour, ordark, or colour misalignment.

• Power is suddenly turned off.

• No picture.

• No sound.

Problem Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 13.)If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 6.)• Has the power been turned on? (See page 13.)

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improperoperation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the power off the TV orunplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 5.)• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?• Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?

• Is the image position correct? (See page 37.)• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages

38 and 39.)
