PAGE 53Maintenance1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water anda little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe thescreen. 2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your TV. 1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the TV from dirt and dust, as well as keep the cabinet lookingnew.If you intend to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power cordto protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an off-air antenna, you may also want todisconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving. Even though you may be getting cable service, the signal may be weak, which means the quality of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your TV, consult theTroubleshooting guide on the following pages. You may also want to contact your cable service provider to deter-mine if the problem is from the cable service.If you use your TV to play video games or for other uses that have single, fixed images, such as a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high. If static images, like network identification patterns, are left on the screen for too long, they can leave a perma-nent impression on the TV screen. You can reduce the chance of this happening bylimiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and brightness levels. SCREEN CLEANINGEXTENDED ABSENCECABINET CLEANINGWOOD CABINETSEarly malfunctions can be prevented. Please read pages 2-3-4 in the front of the manual and follow the recom-mendations provided.

PAGE 54Troubleshooting SYMPTOMSSnowy picture and unclear sound.Multiple images or ‘ghost shadows.’ Interference: Sharp lines across the screen and unclear sound.Normal picture but no sound.No picture and unclear sound.No picture and no sound. No color, but the sound is O.K.Picture has a big black box on it, but the sound is O.K.Picture has two horizontal black bars, one on top and one on bottom.Missing Secret code Some quick and easy tips to fixing problems yourself.POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS• Check your antenna connection or location.• Check your cable input.• Check to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected.• Check your antenna direction and/or location.• Check your cable input.• Make sure the cable from your antenna to your TV is properly connected.The following may cause image problems or distortion:Electrical appliances, powerful lights, cars, trucks; computers orportable phones; medical equipment• If possible increase the distance between your TV and the offending appliance.Or shut one of them off.•Check sound level.•Make sure the TV sound is not muted.•Try another channel. The problem may be the broadcast, not your TV.•Are the Audio cables properly installed?•Are the wires for external speakers (if you have external speakers) properly installed?•Make sure your speakers are turned on in the Audio menu.• If your audio mode is set to SAP, that channel may not have an SAP program.•Are you in TV or cable tuning mode, and should be in the other?•Make sure output channels on all A/V equipment are on the same channel (3 or 4).•Check that all connections are tight.•Is the AC power cord plugged in?•Check that your AC power outlet works. (Test it by plugging in something else or try another outlet.)•Make sure your brightness and audio controls are set properly.•Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.•Check the color settings in the Video menu.•Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.•The Caption option may be in Text mode. Select Caption 1, or OFF in the Captions/Text menu.•Your program is in letterbox. This means that the shape of your TV is a square, but the program is a rectangle. Think of the bars as empty space the program doesn’t fill; not picture that’s blocked out. Because this format is a direct representation of film as you see it in the movies, you are actually seeing MORE of the program when you see those bars.•If you forget the secret code, press the remote control Button ‘7’, ‘7’, ‘7’ and ‘7’ when the display asks you to enter the secret code.
