Troubleshooting  
If there is no picture or the TV does not operate normally, make sure the problem isn’t due  
to the reasons indicated below.  
If the problem persists even after taking the measures indicated, please contact a service

another colour system. (see page 8.)  
• Adjust the picture settings. (see page 12.)  
• Set the Picture mode to STANDARD.  
The screen turns blue  
(see page 8.)  
• Is the BLUE BACK function on? (see page 12.)  
• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture,  
check the following.  
Remote control inoperable  
- Have the TV and aerial been connected  
properly?  
• Replace the batteries. (see page 3.)  
- Has the aerial cable been damaged?  
- Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?  
- Is the aerial itself faulty?  
Buttons on front of the TV do not work  
• Switch the CHILD LOCK function off.  
• If the TV or aerial suffer interference from  
other equipment, stripes or noise may appear  
in the picture. Move any equipment which  
can cause interference away from the TV.  
(see page 12.)  
TV does not respond immediately
