What's the best way to get a question answered about your TV? Check out the TV's user manual of course!

We received a question from a new TechLore member just now that was having trouble finding their user manual for their TV. This one happened to be for a Magnavox TV, but we get lots of request for Sony user manuals and other TVs too. It reminded me how simple many problems are to solve if you have the manual, but how difficult it can sometimes be to find the manual in the first place.

Well, TechLore has come to the rescue to help you locate your user manual and other support information. We created an article recently that lists all of the support sites, information, contact information and user manuals for most brands of TVs. You can access it by using this link:

Here's a couple of pointers you can use to help find your user manual on a company's website:

• Make sure you have your model number handy. It can usually be found printed on the TV somewhere.
• Perform a search on your exact model number. If you can't find it, try a search on a portion of your model number until you get a match.
• In certain cases, there isn't an exact match for model number on your TV and how they have it listed on their site (e.g. there's extra letters and/or numbers). Try different combinations.
  
• Sometimes, you can search by product type. This is useful if you can't find your exact model number, or if the above searches don't work.

Hopefully, this will help you out in diagnosing some of your problems.

Oh, I almost forgot, a message to member tuesday who originally asked the question which prompted this blog entry. The user manual for your Magnavox TV Model MT1901B101 may be found here, I believe. I had to search by product type first to narrow it down, then go from there. Hope that helped!
