Important information

Safety

Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your set. Where the mains plug, AC inlet, or appliance coupler is used as a disconnect device, it shall remain readily operable.
On certain models, the light indicator is located at the side of the TV set. The absence of a light indication at the front does not mean that the TV set is fully disconnected from the mains. To disconnect the TV set completely, the mains plug must be pulled out.
The TV set’s components are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35º Celsius. Do not cover the vents at the back or sides of the TV set. Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation. Install the appliance away from any source of heat (fireplace, etc.) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields.
Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 75% humidity. Moving the set from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some components inside the TV set). Let the condensation evaporate before switching the TV set on again.
The or POWER/ button on the TV set or the button on the remote control can be used to switch it on and put it into standby mode. If you are not going to be watching the TV for a lengthy period of time, switch it off completely by removing the plug from the mains power socket.
During thunderstorms, we recommend that you disconnect the TV set from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains and aerial sockets accessible so they can be disconnected, if necessary.
Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or smoke. You must never, under any circumstances, open the TV set yourself, as you run the risk of an electric shock in doing so.

If the external flexible cable or cord of this product is damaged, it shall be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Leave more than 10cm of clearance around the television to allow adequate ventilation. The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers,
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
Only use furniture that can safely support the television set.

Troubleshooting

Please check the following list before requesting service.

There is no picture or sound.

Make sure the power cord is properly inserted in the power outlet.
Make sure the source type is set correctly.
Make sure the antenna is properly connected.
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.
The TV may be receiving a signal other than from TV broadcasting stations.

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 horizontal dotted lines shown in the pictures may be caused by electrical interference, e.g., hair dryer, nearby neon lights, etc. Turn off or remove these.

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

Check the colour adjustment.
Check the brightness setting.
Check the sharpness function.

Remote control does not work.

Check the batteries of the remote control.
Make sure the remote sensor window on the TV front is not under strong fluorescent lighting.
