TROUBLESHOOTING

If you run into any problems using the set-top box, try restarting the device first. We have also included a few tips for 
handling certain problems.

RESTARTING THE SET-TOP BOX

•   You can restart the device in the following two ways: 
•  By Disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable from the power outlet or the device, or 
•  Using the Settings > Technical settings > System > Reboot menu. 

NO PICTURE

•  Verify that the TV and the receiver are plugged into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch. 
•  Verify that both devices are turned on. 
•  Verify that the TV and the set-top box are properly connected. 
•  Verify that the TV is set to the proper input channel. 

NO COLOR

•  Verify that the current TV program is broadcast in color.  
•  Adjust the TV color controls. 
•  Verify that all cables are properly connected. 

NO SOUND

•  Verify that all cables are properly connected. 
•  Verify that the TV is set to the proper input channel. 
•  Verify that the volume is turned on both devices and that the Mute function is not turned on. 

THE SET-TOP BOX IS NOT RESPONDING TO THE REMOTE CONTROL

•  Remove any obstacles between the remote control and the set-top box. 
•  Check the batteries and replace them, if needed. 
•  Place the receiver closer to the edge of the shelf. 
•  Some TVs (particularly plasmas), can interfere with the operation of the remote control, because they also transmit IR 

signals. Try to move the set-top box.
