The Remote Control Doesn’t Work
• Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path.
• Maybe the remote isn’t aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) that you’re trying to operate.
• Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so remote will control TV.
• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if you remove the
batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)
• You might need to drain the remote’s microprocessor: remove batteries and press the number 1 button for at least 60 seconds.
Release the 1 button, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) program the remote again.
PIP (Picture-In-Picture Feature) Doesn’t Work
• The PIP feature on this TV only works if you connect a second video source (like a VCR or satellite receiver), to your TV with audio/
video cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment. Contact your cable company and/or go to page 12 for more
details about a cable box connection.
• Make sure the remote is in the right mode. For example, once you turn on the VCR with the VCR1 button, you can’t SWAP the
pictures until you put the remote in TV mode. Just press the TV button.
• No signal or bad reception? Most VCRs and satellite receivers have an antenna or TV button. If your cable or off-air antenna goes into
your VCR or satellite receiver, then into your TV, try pressing the antenna or TV/VCR button on the front of the component.
Tip: If programmed to control your VCR, the ANTENNA button on the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.
Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls
The rating limits don’t work
• You must lock the settings. Go to the TV MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Controls (press 6 on your
remote), select Lock Parental Controls (press 6 on your remote).
I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV
• If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold MENU on the television and volume down on the remote for 3 seconds.
Nothing appears on the screen, Parental Controls simply unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock Parental Controls.
The V-Chip won’t let me watch a program even though it’s not rated as violent.
• Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set NR to View separately in order to
view movies with an NR rating.
Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet
to help assure adequate ventilation.
The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If
necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.
Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners
will damage the TV.
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also,
avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to
the TV.
Caution: If fixed (non-moving) images are left on the screen for long periods, they may be permanently imprinted on the
picture tube. Such images include network logos, phone numbers, and video games. This damage is not covered by your
warranty. Extended viewing of channels displaying these images should be avoided.
