If you have any problems, read this manual again and
check the countermeasure for each of the symptoms
listed below.
If the problem persists, contact your nearest authorized
service center or dealer.

/ Check the antenna.
/ Check the antenna connection on the TV

and on the wall.

/ Check the TV SYSTEM setting

(KV-J21MF1AK/J21MN1AK/J21MF3 only).

/ This may be caused by local interference

(e.g. cars, neon signs and hair dryers). Adjust
the antenna for minimum interference.

/ This may be caused by reflections from

nearby mountains or buildings. A highly
directional antenna may improve the picture.

/ Press POWER.
/ Check the antenna connection.
/ Check the VCR connections.
/ Check the power cord connection.
/ Check the standby mode.

/Even if the picture or the sound is normal,

changes in the room temperature
sometimes make the TV cabinet expand or
contract, making a noise. This does not
indicate a malfunction.

•

The supplied remote commander is used on several models of
the TV. If you do not find instructions for some controls that
are on the remote commander, that means your TV does not
employ the features of those controls, e.g. TEXT.

•

The TV SYSTEM button is not used on your TV (KV-J21PF1
only).

•

When you switch on the TV, you may hear the “boon” sound
that is caused by the demagnetization of the TV. This does not
indicate a malfunction.

•

The picture color may become abnormal if you change the
direction of your TV. To obtain the normal picture color, press
POWER on the TV to switch off the TV for five minutes and
then switch it on again.

Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as
