If the picture quality is poor or there is some other problem, check the adjustments, operations, etc., before requesting service.
Troubleshooting
*1 Overheat protector
If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor
and unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location and wait for the monitor
to cool for 60 minutes. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
*2 In the following case, power off the monitor immediately and contact your dealer or authorized Service Center.
The monitor turns off 5 seconds after powering on and then the POWER/STANDBY indicator blinks. It indicates that the power supply circuit, plasma
display panel, temperature sensor, or one or more fans have been damaged.
Remedy
• If there are no abnormalities in the image and sound,
the noise is caused by the cabinet reacting to
changes in temperature. This will not affect
performance.
• Leave some space between the display and the
connected components.
• Replace both batteries with new ones.
• Set IR REMOTE OFF on OPTION3 menu.
• Set an ID number with the ID SELECT button, or set
the ID number to ALL.
• Plug the monitor’s power cord into a power outlet.
• Press the power button on the monitor to turn on the
power.
• Replace both batteries with new ones.
• Set IR REMOTE ON.
• Set an ID number with the ID SELECT button, or set
the ID number to ALL.
• Point the remote control at the monitor’s remote
control sensor when pressing buttons, or remove the
obstacle.
• Eliminate the light by closing curtains, pointing the
light in a different direction, etc.
• Replace both batteries with new ones.
• Unplug the remote cable from the monitor.
• Set the Control Lock to OFF.
• Plug the monitor’s power cord into a power outlet.
• Increase the volume.
• Press the remote control’s MUTE button.
