Before calling a service technician, please check the following table for a possible cause of the symptom and
some solutions.
Symptom
Solution
Monitor will not turn on
Make sure the power cord is plugged in, then press POWER.
The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries.
No picture, no sound
If you connected an antenna via an external device (such as a VCR),
check the antenna/cable connections.
No sound, picture OK
The sound may be muted. Press VOLUME.
Poor picture, sound OK
If you connected an antenna via an external device (such as a VCR),

The remote control does not operate
Make sure the appropriate device mode is selected.
Remove all obstructions between the remote control and the remote
control sensor in the monitor.
The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries.
Poor composite or S-video picture
If the monitor is connected to an external A/V device (e.g., DVD
player, video game system, set-top box, etc.) always try to use the
ColorStream video jacks (and corresponding audio jacks) or the
HDMI input (if available on your monitor) for connection to such
external A/V device. This will reduce the amount of video processing
to be performed by the monitor.
Picture and sound are out of sync
As with all products that contain a digital display, in rare instances,
when viewing certain content (e.g., television broadcasts, video
games, DVDs), you may notice that the picture and sound are
slightly out of sync. This phenomenon can be caused by various
factors including, without limitation, video processing within the
monitor, video processing in an attached gaming system, and video
processing/different compression rates used by broadcasters in their
programming. You may want to try one or more of the following
suggestions, which may help to reduce the effect of this
phenomenon:
If the monitor is connected to an A/V receiver that has a
programmable audio delay feature, use this feature to help
synchronize the sound to the picture.
If you notice this phenomenon only on certain TV channels,
please contact your local broadcast, cable, or satellite provider to
inform them of this issue.
