checks, in the order shown.

Check

Suggested solution

Further checks, if there is still a problem

Is anything lighted on your 

set-top’s front panel?

YES 

D

 

NO 

R

Press the POWER button on your remote 

control to turn on your set-top. 

Power may not be reaching your set-top. Make sure that 

the power supply unit is properly plugged in.
If there is a switch by the wall AC outlet, switch it ON. 

(Note: your set-top’s lights flash briefly when you apply 
power to the power-supply unit, then 

the   (power) 

light

, and probably all the other lights, go off.)

Check that the wall AC outlet is working (for example by 

plugging in a lamp).

Does your remote control 

operate your set-top?

YES 

D

 

NO 

R

Check if 

the   (power) light

 on the front panel 

is green. If it is not, press POWER on your 

remote control to turn on your set-top.

Check that nothing is blocking the path from your 

remote control to the front panel.
Check that your remote control is currently set to 

operate your set-top (consult the instructions supplied 

with your remote control).
If your remote control will still not operate your set-top, 

replace the batteries in your remote control.

Can you see a picture on 

your TV screen?

YES 

D

 

NO 

R

Your TV and other equipment may not be 

turned on. Check that they are plugged into 

wall AC outlets and turned on.

Check that you have selected the appropriate AV input 

on your TV: HDMI, component video (YPbPr), S-video 

or composite video (depending on how your system is 

connected up).
If you are using an HDMI connection, make sure the 

connection goes directly from your set-top to your TV. If 

your set-top detects that the link is not secure, your set-

top will not transmit a picture (see page 7). If you expect 

the link to be secure, try disconnecting and reconnecting 

the HDMI cable.
Make sure your set-top’s TV Display Capability settings 

are appropriate for your TV (see page 16). For more 

information on displaying a picture on your HDTV screen 

see page 11.

Is the picture distorted or 

too small?

NO 

D

 

YES 

R

Check that the TV Aspect Ratio and TV 

Display Capability, as set on your set-top, are 

appropriate for your TV (see pages 15 and 16). 

Change them if necessary.

If your TV is a 16:9 TV, you can use Auto Pillarbox to 

add black borders to 4:3 transmissions, so that the 

picture is not stretched (see page 18).
If the TV Aspect Ratio and TV Display Capability settings 

are correct, try using Zoom to improve the picture (see 

page 13) or consult the instructions that came with your 

TV and try adjusting your TV’s display.

Can you display menus 

and guides on the screen?

YES 

 

D

 

NO 

R

If your TV is connected to the VIDEO OUT 

connector, then you will see menus and guides 

only if the screen resolution 480i is set to 

Yes” and all the others are set to are set to 

No”.

Change the TV Display Capability resolution settings if 

necessary (see page 16).

Is there any sound? 

YES 

D

See the next page

 

NO 

R

Check that the audio cables are securely and 

correctly connected.

Check that you have not muted the sound on your set-

top and/or TV. Adjust the volume control on your set-top 

and/or TV. If you are using a home theater receiver, 

check it is set up correctly.
