Troubleshooting

Before you call the Acer service center, please check the following items: Here is a list of possible situations that may arise during the use of your PDP TV. Easy answers and solutions are provided for each.

There is no picture or sound.

• Make sure the power cord is properly inserted in the power outlet.
• Make sure the input mode is correctly set by your selected input.
• Make sure the antenna at the rear of the TV is properly connected.
• Make sure the main power switch is turned on.
• Make sure the volume is not set to a minimum or the sound is not set to mute.
• Make sure the headphones are not connected.
• Receptions other than those of broadcasting stations can be considered.

The picture is not clear.

• Make sure the antenna cable is properly connected.
• Consider whether your TV signal is being properly received.
• Poor picture quality can occur due to a VHS camera, camcorder, or other peripherals being connected at the same time. Switch off one of the other peripherals.
• The ‘ghost’ or double image may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due to high-rise buildings or hills. Using a highly directional antenna may improve the picture quality.

The picture is too dark, too light, or tinted.

• Check the color adjustment.

• Check the sharpness function.
• The fluorescent lamp may have reached the end of its service life.

Remote control does not work.
