Is the [TV] mode set with your TV remote?

➔ Press the [TV] button at the top of the TV remote to start the mode.

Is the TV unresponsive to the TV remote while watching it?

➔ Turn off the ambient lamp (ballast) and try using your TV remote again.

The TV remote may malfunction due to frequency interference from three-wavelength fluorescent lamps (ballasts).
