Daewoo LCD TV Troubleshooting - Software Upgrade - Service Mode

Daewoo LA32L1B1LM - LA37L1B1LM - LA42L1B1LM - LA42L1B1LF
LCD TV does not response or remote controller does not work.
- Check the power cord to be plugged.
- Check the battery of the remote controller.
Sound is discontinuous or broken sometimes.
- Check if [SOUND] -> [AVC] is [ON].
- Set the sound effect into 'F Mono'?
- Set the [SOUND] -> [Digital Volume] into proper value.
- [Digital Volume] is enabled only in digital program.
- Check if [SOUND] -> [Speaker] is On.
Picture of digital program is sometimes broken and sound is discontinuous.
- Digital program has a little problem because of signal receiving status.
- Check if the RF cable is correctly connected.
- Ask for the broadcasting station if the RF cable connection has no problem.

 Picture of analog program is noisy.
- Check the RF cable connection.
- Check if [Picture] -> [N.R] is ON.
- Change the [Channel] -> [Fine Tune] value.
Sound is not generated in HDMI mode.
- Reconnect HDMI jack.
- DVI signal has no sound. Check the output signal of device to be connected to LCD TV.
- If you want to use DVI-HDMI cable, you should also connect audio cable into the LCD TV.
In spite of 'Auto Setup', picture size is not completely adapted to the screen in PC mode.
- Check if the input signal is available.
- Ensure that the desktop has no black area.
- Some errors (picture position problem) will be occurred according to certain video card.  In this case, you should adjust ‘Phase’, ‘Clock’, ‘H.Position’, ‘V.Position’ control.
In spite of 'Auto Setup', picture is not clear in the PC mode.
- Adjust 'Phase' control.
1. When you connect with component, PC (D-Sub), and HDMI, you must check the input resolution of external devices.
2. So if this mode is used at PC mode, the screen can be enlarged.
3. 1600x1200 & 1920x1080P modes are supported only Full HD model.
