You may need ADOBE READER installed on your computer to read PDF documents.
You can download this free at WWW.ADOBE.COM if necessary.
Click on the DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER button on right side of the ADOBE home page when you get there, then follow the onscreen instructions to install the software on your computer.

See page 27 of the manual for detailed instructions on how to use the TV and exactly how to switch input sources.

Basically you just connect your DVD player cables to the appropriate input connectors on the back of the TV. Also make sure your DVD player is fully powered up and turned on. See page 23 of the manual for detailed diagrams of the correct cable connection procedure for your device.

Then push the INPUT button on the TV or on the TV's remote control repeatedly until you get to the correct INPUT MODE, then press OK to confirm.

Please comment back here to this page if you have any details to add, have any questions, have difficulty accessing the links, or just require further general assistance and I will respond as soon as I see it.

I hope that was helpful to you, good luck and take care.

Hi - My name is Tina and I am with Suddenlink. Are you receiving your channels over the air (without a cable box)? If so, that is the way they are broadcast over the air in digital/high definition from the broadcasters and without converting them (with a cable box) there isn't anything that can be done to fix this issue. If you add a cable box to your set, then the box can convert the channels without the dashes. Plase feel free to contact me directly at tina-AT-suddenlink-DOT-com for further assistance. Thank you.

Hi Eddie,
Turning on and off of the unit is an indication of out-of-regulation condition on the power supply board. It was caused by leaky/dried electrolytic capacitor in that board. It will dropped the normal output voltage and will trigger the symptoms.
Leaky electrolytic capacitor has a physical indication of fault like bulged/dome at the top and can be easily identify. See sample picture of a faulty capacitor with dome at the top.


Dried electrolytic capacitor has no physical indication of fault, you must have a capacitor checker to determine its condition and pinpoint the faulty one.
Another option is to replace the entire power supply board if you can't troubleshoot it yourself. This is more convenient for you because no soldering is required. My supplier hasn't a stock yet of your board, try to obtain it to your local service centers.

Also, check if your unit is still under warranty/extended warranty period, avail it because the manufacturer will fix it for free. Opening the back cover will void the warranty.

Hope I helped you.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for using Fixya.

Run an optical cable from the back of the TV to the input on you audio/video receiver amplifier, then access the A/V receiver's menu and navigate to optical inputs, assign the one you connect the cable to in the previous step, to TV or Sat function (the input or source on your remote), verify it and you are done.
If no optical output on the back of the TV, then use the RCA audio output, and just connect it to any audio input on the back of the A/V receiver, and use that specific input as a source when listening to the surround.

Use HDMI 2. This T.V. is unlikely to have replacement parts because it is not a mainstream TV. (Samsung, Panasonic, etc..) Make sure your HDMI cable is good too and your cable box or what ever other device you're using is properly connected and on.

Possible that the main power supply has failed which is the SMPS unit. please check the link for tips:

I assume it is the capasitors in Powersupply that is the problem. It is eleven of them, and worth trying to change them.

Hi dek088,
This kind of symptoms was caused by leaky/dried electrolytic capacitor in the power supply board. In the first stage of fault, warm-up will make itself stable and will work fine after a few attempt of powering on and off the power supply, but time will come that the unit will not even power up like what you've encountered right now.
Leaky electrolytic capacitor has a physical indication of fault like bulged/dome at the top and can be easily identify.
Dried electrolytic capacitor has no physical indication of fault, you must have a capacitor checker to determine its condition. If not available you may replaced all of them in the power supply board. It will not cost you much because this is one of the cheapest parts in that board(less than a dollar up to $4 at the most per piece).
Let me know if you're handy with electronics and I will guide you fixing it yourself.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!

1) Switch on the TV set
2) Press the TV button on the Sky Remote
3) Hold down the select and red buttons for 2-3 seconds until the LED blinks twice
4) Press the TV button on the Sky Remote again
5) Enter the 4 digit code for your make of TV (try 0206)
6) The LED should blink twice, if not recheck the 4 digit code used and go back to 1
7) Press the standby button on the Sky Remote (The TV should go to standby)
8) Press select to store this setting If the TV does not go into standby press the TV button then the standby button, then TV then standby, keep repeating this until successful. This will scan the codes used for a particular make of TV.

Hi, unfortunately the only way to use your particular brands remote with your cable companies remote is if the cable remote has what's called a "LEARN " key. This is used for cloning another remotes codes to the cable's remote. Unfortunately most tv suppliers don't provide their codes for universal remote use. The first thing i would do is contact your cable providers customer assistance to see if they have setup codes for your brand. then if that doesn't work then you can always buy a universal remote with a " LEARN " function, enabling use with hanspree tv as well as current cable box. I hope this was helpful and thanks, let us know how we did, Good luck ,Prodzilla

Ur tv have a dead 1 or 2 long board that call the LCD inverter boards.These 1 or 2 long LCD inverter boards job are to help the LCD screen panel to have a backlight to produced a picture.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy those 1 or 2 long LCD inverter boards for the replacement.

Hello
Just get into the website of 'Ebay' or 'Alibaba'. They are popular in delivering this type of hard to get batteries. Just check with its model number. There will have. You can buy it by E-payment. OK.

If its still under guaranty take it back.
Sorry couldnt be of more help.

Hi:
If you recently purchased this unit, i suggest you take it back to the vendor, this is an indication of a bad main or intermittent T-Con board. You should still be under the one year manufacture warranty and they will send someone out to check or replace the boards.

Hello
From the main menu, surf though and enter the closed caption window. Here you can see options for Analogue closed caption, Digital; closed caption and Caption style to select. Here select "OFF" for both analogue closed caption and digital closed caption option.OK.

Refer to your TVs user manual. If you haven't its user manual, inform me though Fixya. Send your email ID too. OK.

The USB ports for TVs are usually for accessing drives to play photos or videos. Unfortunately the PC will not communicate directly with the TV via USB. A device in between connecting to the TV via USB and using the other TV ports makes the PC communicate with the TV.

Hannspree is a global company,, meaning it has branches world wide and makes components or uses components from different places, however all final products are assembled in china http://www.hannspree.com/Global/common.aspx?mid=104 same as most other product manufactures.

You will have to provide the complete make and model number of your TV before we will be able to check and see if your uverse remote will control it or not. Thank you.
