Sound: Disturbing sound (such as buzzing, clicking, cracking, humming, whistling, etc).

If problem occurs on one channel, you may have a signal problem. Please contact the cable provider or local broadcaster regarding the specific channel.
Sound: Sound is not in Stereo. This could be due to any of the following reasons: 1. Not all transmitted broadcasts by the cable or broadcast stations are in STEREO. Try checking with several major network stations to be sure that the station you selected is in STEREO. 2. When SAP is turned ON, the sound mode is automatically set to MOΝΟ. 3. Sound mode is set to MONO. Set the sound mode to STEREO. (Refer to page 19). 4. When using an AV input, the television will not display STEREO even though it is producing stereo sound.
General: No power to the TV Check the TV power cord. Unplug the power cord from the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into your wall outlet. Power On the TV again.

General: TV Displays white lines in letterbox when viewing a DVD disc Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as 30% more video information to give the best possible picture quality. With the DVD Player in the "letterbox" picture format, the playback of this type of disc with extra video information can produce a number of small white lines in the upper portion of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this problem is inherent and does not require a service call.
