Polaroid manufactures a wide range of televisions, including LCD screens and CRT displays. Some Polaroid TV problems can be rectified by checking cable connections or by checking the TV's setup using the "Menu" button on the remote control. For issues that can't be resolved, you should contact Polaroid customer support directly or seek professional advice.
Power Failure
If your Polaroid TV won't turn on using the "On" button on the TV set or remote control, there is a problem with your power source. Check to make sure the power cable on your television is secured in the wall outlet. If this fails to fix the issue, connect a different electrical device to the outlet to check if the problem is with the outlet rather than your Polaroid TV. If you are still experiencing no power, you may need to replace the fuse.
If the remote control is not working, make sure the batteries are fitted in place correctly. The + and - symbols will show which way the batteries should be fitted. If this fails to remedy the problem, try new batteries. Contact Polaroid directly if the problem persists.
Sound Issues
Polaroid TVs can experience sound problems when devices such as game consoles and DVD players are connected to it. These appliances usually have their own volume settings, which inhibit the TV's volume if it's turned down too low. Make sure the volume on external devices is turned up high if sound levels are low. You should also make sure the "Mute" button hasn't been pressed in error on the remote control. If volume issues remain, seek professional advice or contact Polaroid.
Picture Problems
Blurry or blank pictures on Polaroid TVs are often caused by coaxial cables that are not securely fitted. The coaxial cable connects to the rear of Polaroid TVs in the RF socket. If securely connected, examine the wire for dents as these can damage the signal strength. Also examine the metal fitting that connects to the rear of the TV. This may require replacing if the fitting is loose.
If you have a Polaroid TV LCD set, electrical appliances such as stereos or vacuum cleaners that are operating near your set may cause interference. If the picture is still fuzzy, press the "Menu" button to access the picture settings. This will allow you to fine-tune the picture and video settings to change the image quality.
