ERROR CODE OPERATIONAL CHECK
When the Status LED indicates an abnormal condition, perform the Error Code Operational Check.
To activate, press the front panel INPUT and MENU buttons at the same time and hold for 5 seconds.
The “POWER LED” will then flash denoting a two-digit code.
  • The number of flashes indicates the value of the MSD (tens digit) of the Error Code.
  • The flashing then pauses for approximately 1/2 second.
  • The LED then flashes indicating the value of the LSD (ones digit) of the Error Code.
  • The Error Code is repeated a total of 5 times.
Example: If the Error Code is “23”, the LED will flash two times, pause, and then flash three times.
Note: The TV must be in “Shut Down” and not have been switched Off, to perform the Error Code Operational Check. When the TV is switched Off, the code automatically resets to “12” No Error.
Note: Use the front panel buttons, not the remote control.
Note: If there is no response, the front panel may be locked by a V-Chip setting. To unlock, press and hold MENU for 5 seconds.
