Cause/Remedy
• Press 2 +/– or % (Mute).
• Check that "Speaker" is set to "On" in the "Setup" menu (page 24).
• See the "Picture (dotted lines or stripes) noise" cause/remedy on page 33.
• Set to "Low".
• The antenna connection is loose or the antenna cable is damaged. Check the
cable and connection on the TV, VCR, and on the wall (page 4).
• Adjust the antenna direction for the minimum interference. Contact a Sony
dealer for advice.
• Signal transmission is low. Try using a booster. Otherwise, use the fine
tuning ("AFT") function (page 27).
• Check the connection of the audio cable (page 28).
Cause/Remedy
• Check if the Sleep function is activated (page 24).
• "Power Management" is set to "On" when a PC is connected.
• Select "Video Labels" in the "Setup" menu and cancel "Skip" of the input
source (page 23).
• Replace the batteries.
• During a transition between two programs, the TV detects the optimum
wide screen mode. During this period, an irregular wide screen mode may
appear.
• The wide mode is switched automatically according to the revised signal
with a Wide ID signal.
• The Auto Wide feature stops working temporarily when you press
resumes after a while. To fix in the manually selected wide screen mode, set
"Auto Wide" to "Off" in the "Screen" menu (page 22).
• Your area may not be able to receive Text. Text is displayed only in the area
that is covered by Text services.
• The antenna connection is loose or the antenna cable is damaged. Check the
cable and connection on the TV, VCR, and on the wall (page 4).
• Adjust the antenna direction. Contact a Sony dealer for advice.
• Signal transmission is too low. Try using a booster.
• Using the fine tuning ("AFT") function may improve the picture (page 27).
• Some shooting games which involve pointing a light beam at the TV screen
with an electronic gun or rifle cannot be used with your TV. For details, see
the instruction manual supplied with the video game software.
• Changes in room temperature sometimes make the TV cabinet expand or
contract, causing a noise. This does not indicate a malfunction.
• This is the same static discharge that is felt when touching metal door
handles or car doors especially when the air is dry, for example in winter.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
