9 Troubleshooting
This section describes commonly encountered
issues and accompanying solutions.
General TV issues
The TV does not switch on:
Disconnect the power cable from the •
power outlet. Wait for one minute then
reconnect it.
Check that the power cable is securely •
connected.
The remote control is not working properly:
Check that the remote control batteries •
are correctly inserted according to the
+/- orientation.
Replace the remote control batteries if •
they are fl at or weak.
Clean the remote control and TV sensor •
lens.
The standby light on the TV blinks red:
Disconnect the power cable from the •
power outlet. Wait until the TV cools
down before reconnecting the power
cable. If the blinking reoccurs, contact
Philips Consumer Care.
You forgot the code to unlock the TV lock
feature
Enter ‘8888’. •
The TV menu is in the wrong language
Change the TV menu to your preferred •
language.
When turning the TV on/off/to standby, you
hear a creaking sound from the TV chassis:
No action is required. The creaking sound •
is normal expansion and contraction of
the TV as it cools and warms up. This
does not impact performance.
EN
27
Computer connection issues
The computer display on the TV is not stable:
Check that a supported resolution and •
refresh rate is selected on the computer.
Set the TV picture format to unscaled. •
Contact us
If you cannot resolve your problem, refer to
the FAQs for this TV at www.philips.com/
support.
If the problem remains unresolved, contact
Philips Consumer Care in your country as
listed in this User Manual.
Warning
Do not attempt to repair the TV yourself. This may •
cause severe injury, irreparable damage to your TV
or void your warranty.
Note
Make a note of your TV model and serial number •
before you contact Philips. These numbers are
printed on the back of the TV and on the packaging.
The picture position is incorrect:
Picture signals from some devices may •
not fi t the screen correctly. Check the
signal output of the device.
Sound issues
There is a picture but no sound from the TV:
Note
If no audio signal is detected, the TV automatically •
switches the audio output off — this does not
indicate malfunction.
Check that all cables are properly •
connected.
Check that the volume is not set to 0. •
Check that the sound is not muted. •
There is a picture but the sound quality is
poor:
Check that the sound settings are •
correctly set.
There is a picture but sound comes from one
speaker only:
Verify that sound balance is set to the •
centre.
HDMI connection issues
There are problems with HDMI devices:
Note that HDCP support can delay the •
time taken for a TV to display content
from a HDMI device.
If the TV does not recognise the HDMI •
device and no picture is displayed, try
switching the source from one device to
another and back again.
If there are intermittent sound •
disruptions, check that output settings
from the HDMI device are correct.
If a HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or HDMI to •
DVI cable is used, check that an additional
audio cable is connected to AUDIO L/R
or AUDIO IN (mini-jack only).
