This is normal and is not a sign of malfunction. • Check the antenna/cable connections (see Chapter 2). • The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel. • The sound may be muted. Press VOLUME. • If you hear no sound, try setting the MTS feature to Stereo mode (page 86). • Make sure the Speakers function in the Audio Setup menu is set correctly (page 88). • If you are not receiving a second audio program from a known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to SAP mode (page 86). • If you hear audio that seems "incorrect" for the program you are watching (such as music or a foreign language), the SAP mode may be on. Set the MTS feature to STEREO mode (page 86). • When using an external audio amplifier, if you connect the amplifier to the VAR. AUDIO OUT terminals, the volume of the TV and amplifier must be set above 0 or you will not hear any sound (page 21). • Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device mode (page 30). • Remove all obstructions between the remote control and the TV. • The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries (page 30). • Your TV remote control may not operate certain features on your external device. Refer to the owner's manual for your other device to determine its available features. If your TV remote control does not operate a specific feature on another device, use the remote control that came with the device (page 30). • If the TV still does not act as expected, use the Restore Factory Defaults procedure as described on page 54. • Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device mode (page 30). • The channel may have been erased from the channel memory by the Channel Add/Delete feature. Add the channel to the channel memory (page 45). • The channel may be blocked by the Channels Block feature. Unblock the channel (page 99). • If you are unable to tune digital channels, check the antenna configuration (page 43). If you are still unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from the channel list (page 45) and reprogram channels into the channel memory (page 44). If you are still unable to tune digital channels, use the Restore Factory Defaults procedure as described on page 54. Also see "Other problems," on the next page. • If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned, no captions will display on-screen (page 84). • If text is not available, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, turn off the closed caption feature (page 84). • A closed caption signal may not display correctly in the following situations: a) when a videotape has been dubbed; b) when the signal reception is weak; or c) when the signal reception is nonstandard (page 84). • If you forget your PIN code: While the PIN code entering screen is displayed, press RECALL four times within 5 seconds. The PIN code you previously stored will be cleared (page 97). • The V-Chip feature is available for the U.S. V-Chip system only (page 98). 102 Copyright © 2005 TOSHIBA CORPORATION.
