WIFI Display

(*not available for some models)

WIFI display allows you to share screen and sound of your device such as a smartphone or a tablet to your TV, wirelessly (i.e. without cables). This makes it possible to view on your TV, at the same time, what your smartphone or tablet is showing.

For example, you can launch a video on your smartphone and display it simultaneously on your TV, or use your tablet as game controller with content displayed on the big screen of your TV.

Whenever you want to use WIFI display, you must first activate this function in your TV. To do it follow the steps below:

Press on the remote control, select Smart TV > WiFi display and press OK to enter. You will see details for this function.

Problems & Solutions

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.

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 confirm 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 flash drive — It may result from data transmission, or its code flow 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.

Troubleshooting

Note: Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting list.

No picture, no sound

Check if the fuse or circuit breaker is working.
Plug another electrical device into the outlet to make sure it is working or turned on.
Power plug is in a bad contact with the outlet.
Check the signal source.

No colour

Change the colour system.
Adjust the saturation.
Try another channel. Black-white program may be received.

Remote control does not work

Broadcasting failure may happen.

Normal picture, no sound

Press button ►to increase volume.
Volume is set to mute, press the Mute button to restore sound.
Change the sound system.
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.

Adjust the position and orientation of the indoor/outdoor antenna.
Check the connection of antenna.
Fine tune the channel.
Try another channel. Broadcasting failure may happen.

Ignition

Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture flutters 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 reflected 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.

To bring you better visual experience, please remove all labels, if any, from TV front panel and screen before use.
