Television Antenna Connection Protection
If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV,
make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide
some protection against voltage surges and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements of the grounding electrode.
Lightning Protection
For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left
unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
Power Lines
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could
fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is
intended to be connected to earth in the building installation.

Troubleshooting & Technical Support
The picture is distorted.
•
Nearby electrical devices may be interfering with the TV. Separate the
TV from electrical appliances, cars, or flourescent lights.
•
Ensure all cables are securely attached.
The display image does not cover the entire screen.
•
If you are in RGB mode (computer), ensure that H-Size and V-Position
in the on-screen menu are set correctly.
•
If you are using TV, AV1, AV2, or Component with 480i input, press
the WIDE button on the remote to change the screen mode.
The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark or always lit.
•
Your HDTV is precision-manufactured using an extremely high level
of technology. However, sometimes pixels may not display correctly.
These types of occurences are inherent to this type of product and do
not constitute a defective product.
I see “noise” or static on the screen.
•
When your TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal,
the signal is up-converted (improved) to match your TV’s display
capabilities. This up-converting can sometimes cause irregularities in
the image.
•
If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be
low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move
the antenna around the room or close to a window for the best signal.
When I change input source, the volume changes.
•
The TV remembers the volume level on each input source. If the
volume level on the new input source is higher or lower than the level
on the source you switch from, the difference may be noticable.

volume.
