Picture problems
General picture problems
• Check the antenna/cable connections (- Chapter 2).
• Press + on the remote control or the TV and select a
valid video input source (- p. 38). If no device is
connected to a particular input on the TV, nopicture
appears when you select that particular input source. For
device connection details, see Chapter 2.
• Antenna re
ception may be poor. Use a highly directional
outdoor antenna (if applicable).
• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another
channel.
• Adjust the picture qualities (- p. 53).
Video Input Selection problems
• If the Input Selection window does not appear when you
press + on the remote control or the TV control panel,
press + a second time. The TV displays the next video
input source and the Input Selection screen.
Cannot view external signals or channel 3 or 4
• If you cannot view signals from external devices
connected to VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, ColorStream HD1,
ColorStream HD2, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, HDMI 4,
PC or from channels 3 or 4, ensure the Input Lock is set
to Off (- p. 42).
Poor color or no color
• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another
channel.
• Check the Input mode when you use Shared Inputs (-
p. 31).
• Adjust the Tint and/or Color (- p. 53).
Poor composite picture
• If the TV is connected to an external A/V device (e.g. DVD
player, video game system, set-top box, etc.) try using a
ColorStream or HDMI video connection instead.
Picture and sound are out of sync
• As with all products that contain a digital display, this
may occur in rare instances, when viewing certain
content (e.g. television broadcasts, video games, DVDs).
The cause may include, without limitation, video
processing within the TV, video processing in an
attached gaming system, and video processing or
different compression rates used
by broadcasters in
their programming. Try these procedures:
– If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a
programmable audio delay feature, use this feature
to help synchronize the sound to the picture.
– If the problem occurs only on certain TV channels,
inform your local broad
cast, cable, or satellite
provider.
Sound problems
• Check the antenna/cable connections (- Chapter 2).
• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another
channel.
• The sound may be muted. Press VOLUME.

Stereo mode (- p. 58).
• If you are not receiving a second audio program from
a
known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to
SAP mode (- p. 58).
• If you hear audio that seems incorrect for the program
you are watching (such as music or a foreign language),
the SAP mode may be on. Set the MTS feature to Stereo
mode (- p. 58).
• If you connect a PC using either the PC IN terminal or an
HD
MI terminal, ensure that the Side Shared Audio
setting is properly set (- p. 46).
Remote control problems

mode (- p. 91).

the TV.
• Replace the remote control’s batteries (- p. 24).
