Troubleshoot A Polaroid 15inch Tv

Watch your favorite shows in the kitchen on a Polaroid 15-inch TV.


A Polaroid 15-inch TV is a perfect little TV for the kitchen or spare room. It features a flat, sharp LCD screen. Polaroid is perhaps better known for cameras, but their products are sturdy and well trusted. As with most consumer electronics, glitches do occur. Whether it be interference impacting the picture or a setting that needs adjusting, most problems are fairly simple to remedy. There are a few basic troubleshooting steps you can follow before taking your TV in for service.


Instructions


1. Make sure the A/C power cord is securely plugged into the main socket if there is no power to the unit. Try removing the power cord from the socket for 60 seconds and then reinserting it. Press "Power" on the TV or remote control.


2. Make sure the antenna is securely connected at the rear of the unit if there is no TV picture.


3. Press the "Volume" button on the remote control if the picture is good but there is no sound. It could be that the muting function has been activated. Make sure the headphones are not connected to the unit.


4. Check for any nearby external interference, such as neon lights or hairdryers, if horizontal dotted lines appear on the TV picture.


5. Wipe the remote sensor panel on the TV if the set does not respond to the remote control. Make sure there are no obstacles between the TV sensor and the remote. Replace the batteries to the remote, if necessary. Do not use the remote under strong fluorescent lighting.


6. Unplug the TV from the main socket, wait a few seconds and then plug it back in if the control buttons do not work. Plug the TV back in at the main socket and press "Power" on the TV or remote control.


7. Adjust the "Brightness" and "Contrast" functions if the TV picture is poor. Press "Menu" on the remote control and access the "Picture" menu. Press the up/down ("CH") buttons to select "Brightness" or "Contrast." Press the +/- ("VOL") buttons to adjust the selected item until the TV picture is satisfactory.
