Problems & Solutions
1. Fail to link to the network.
- Check if your TV is connected with the network;
- Reboot your TV;
- Consult your internet service provider, to conrm
if access of your router is supported. Refer to the
operation manual of your router.
- Make sure if your TV is connected with the router. if the
router is well connected and powered on, try to change
a new router and network line, and use your PC to have
a test. Should your problem persists, try to consult Client
Service Centre.
2. The video could not be played smoothly.
- Videos from your USB ash drive --- It may result from
data transmission, or its code ow is far beyond the
supported formats of this TV set.
- Videos downloaded from internet, or online videos.
a. It may be caused by the lower bandwidth of your
network. A high network speed is required to handle
online videos.
b. Peak internet usage times may affect the bandwidth.
c. Check if any other computers on the same
network are also operating, as they may be using
up bandwidth. Especially if they are downloading or
displaying on-line videos.
d. The video may not be smooth itself, it is not the
problem of your TV or network.
3. When two mobile hard disks are connected with
the TV at the same time, they will not be recognized
some times.
- All mobile hard disks consume a lot of power, which
may result in power supply problems. We recommend
inserting only one hard disk, or a low power consumption
mobile hard disk.
4. The video from a mobile hard disk (USB) is
playing with no sound.
- The audio format of the video in your mobile hard disk
is not supported by the TV player.
5. Some videos fail to play.
- The formats of the videos may not be supported by the
TV, especially videos shot by certain kinds of cameras,
generally with their private protocol of formats, which are
not compatible with your TV.
6. Video stops playing midway.
- Mistakes may occur when videos are copied or
compressed, so they may automatically stop playing
during playback.
7. What should I pay attention to, when I do SW
updating
- No power cuts when SW updating;
- Avoid any operations with your remote control when
SW updating;
- Be patient because the SW updating process may
takes a little bit longer time.
8. There are no distinct changes of TV interface after
SW updating.
- Under certain conditions, SW updating may not only
update or add new functions but also improve the
performance of the TV set, without distinct changes of
interface. Also, there may be no changes to the user
interface at all.
9. External device cannot be recognized
- Some external devices (e.g. webcam, smart phone,
tablet, game handle, and external wireless adapter) may
not be compatible with the TV and cannot be supported
for certain functions (nScreen, wireless display, gesture
control, face recognition, if any). Please try a similar
device. If it does not work, contact your local dealer.
Note:
Problems & solutions 1 to 2 are for the TV models which have network functions, so users of non-connected
TV models can disregard them.

Troubleshooting
Most problems you encounter with your TV can be
corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting list.
No picture, no sound
1. Check if the fuse or circuit breaker is working.
2. Plug another electrical device into the outlet to make
sure it is working or turned on.
3. Power plug is in a bad contact with the outlet.
4. Check the signal source.
No color
1. Change the color system.
2. Adjust the saturation.
3. Try another channel. Black-white programme may be
received.
Remote control does not work
1. Change the batteries.
2. Batteries are not installed correctly.
No picture, normal sound
1. Adjust the brightness and contrast.
2. Broadcasting failure may happen.
Normal picture, no sound
1. Press button►to increase volume.
2. Volume is set to mute, press the Mute button to
restore sound.
3. Change the sound system.
4. Broadcasting failure may happen.
Unorderly ripples on the picture
It is usually caused by local interference, such as cars,
daylight lamps and hair driers. Adjust the antenna to
minimize the interference.
Blank screen in VGA mode
Perhaps the TV can not recognize the resolution set by
the PC. Suggest to change to the best resolution or
other standard resolutions of the Windows system.
Snowy dots and interference
If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television
signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be
marred by dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it
may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve
the reception.
1. Adjust the position and orientation of the indoor/
outdoor antenna.
2. Check the connection of antenna.
3. Fine tune the channel.
4. Try another channel. Broadcasting failure may
happen.
Ignition
Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture
utters or drifts. This is usually caused by interference
from car ignition system, neon lamps, electric drills, or
other electrical appliance.
Ghost
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two
paths. One is the direct path, the other is reected from
tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the
direction or position of the antenna may improve the
reception.
Radio frequency interference
This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal
streaks, and in some case, loss of contrast in the picture.
Find out and remove the radio interference source.
