Troubleshooting

• This TFT LED panel is made up of sub pixels which require sophisticated technology to produce. There may be, however, a few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.
• To keep your TV in optimum condition, upgrade to the latest software. Use the Update Now or Auto update functions on the TV’s menu ( Home > Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now or Auto update).

Problem: The TV won’t turn on

Solution:

• Make sure that the AC power cord is securely plugged in to the TV and the wall outlet.
• Make sure that the wall outlet is working and the power indicator on the TV is lit and glowing a solid red.
• Try pressing the Power button on the TV to make sure that the problem is not with the remote control. If the TV turns on, refer to “Remote control does not work” below.
