Permanently lit spots on screen

•

Due to production process involved in this technology this may result in some pixels which are permanently lit or unlit. This is not a malfunction.

Contrast is reduced

•

Contrast is lowered when the following conditions without any user operation for a few minutes:

● no signal in DVB or AV mode

● selected invalid channel

● selected radio channel

● displayed menu

● Thumbnail, list or still picture in SD Card mode

Problem

Chaotic image, noisy

No image can be displayed

Blurry or distorted image

(no sound or low volume)

Unusual image is displayed

No sound is produced

Sound level is low or sound is distorted

Whirling sound is heard

Sound is unusual

Pictures from external equipment are unusual when the equipment is connected via HDMI

Actions

•

Set “P-NR” in the Picture Menu (to remove noise). (p. 20)

Check nearby electrical products (car, motorcycle, fl uorescent lamp).

•

Is “Colour” or “Contrast” in the Picture Menu set to the minimum?

(p. 20)

•

Reset channels. (p. 24)

•

Turn off the TV with Mains power On / Off switch, then turn it on again.

•

Is the volume set to the minimum?

•

Sound signal reception may be deteriorated.

•

The sound is from built-in cooling fan

(not a sign of faulty operation).

•

Set the sound setting of the connected equipment to “2ch L.PCM”.

Check the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” setting in the Sound Menu. (p. 20)

•

If digital sound connection has a problem, select analogue sound connection. (p. 29)

•

Is the HDMI cable connected properly? (p. 34)

Turn Off the TV and equipment, then turn them On again.

•

Check an input signal from the equipment. (p. 39)

Use an equipment compliant with EIA/CEA-861/861B.

Problem Actions

•

Digital TV reception technology requires high quality, robust DTV signals which in some domestic aerial installations, may be relatively poor despite good analogue reception.

•

To maintain optimum signal quality from TV aerial, use a TV aerial splitter

(as illustrated) when connecting two or more equipments to the same aerial.

TV takes so long to turn on

•

Check to ensure your area is covered by DVB transmissions.

(www.dba.org.au/)

•

Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB.

For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected / installed by a licenced installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.

Note: If you live within 5-10 Km of DVB transmission towers, a combined VHF / UHF aerial should be adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF aerials provide superior reception performance.

•

If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master

Antenna TV (MATV) system is designed for analogue and DVB-T reception. Please consult your body corporate. (www.dba.org.au/)

•

Check “Signal Display”. (p. 25)

If “Signal Quality” or “Signal Strength” are displayed in red or constantly changing, check aerial.

If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

•

Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB.

licenced installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.

•

Interference (known as impulse noise) from household appliances such as light switches, fridges etc may cause picture break up and / or audio distortion. Use high quality quad shielded coaxial cable fl y lead between TV and antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise pickup. If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

•

When “No Signal” message is displayed check TV aerial connection.

The received signal may be too weak to allow the TV to reliably lock to the desired “No Signal” channel to generate a stable picture. Repeat the tuning procedure (p. 24). If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

•

•

Electrical atmospheric interference caused by local or distant lighting storms or heavy rain with wind in “leafy” locations may cause pictures to break up and audio to mute or distort momentarily.

Impulse noise interference from an infrequently used electrical appliance, or a passing vehicle or lawn mower with a “noisy” ignition system.
