TroubleshootingIf a problem occurs when you are using the TV, check the below 
troubleshooting guide before calling for repair.
• Colour patches appear 
at the corner of the 
screen
• This may due to the magnetized device such as a 
speaker near to your TV. Keep the device apart from 
your TV. Alternately, you can also use the magnetic-
shielded speaker.
•  Picture is tilted
• This may due to the earth magnetism. Refer to 
“PICTURE TILT” on page 11 to correct the tilt.
•  Image takes a short 
period to be displayed
•  Image required time to stabilize before display. This 
is not a malfunction.
•  TV may emit crackling 
sound 
• This is due to a sudden change in temperature 
and it is not a malfunction. If the crackling sound 
is too frequent, request your service technician for 
inspection.
•  Feel a slight electric 
shock when touching 
the TV screen
•  This is due to the static electricity of the picture tube
