TELEVISION TROUBLESHOOTING

You can solve most television problems by following
the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and
follow the steps listed. If you need further assistance,
please see the front cover of this manual.

PROBLEM:

Television reception is poor.

SOLUTION:

a. Check for the problems listed below and follow the

applicable instructions.

• Ignition (black spots or horizontal streaks that

appear or a picture that flutters or drifts)—
Usually this is caused by interference from auto-
mobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric
drifts, or other electric appliances. Try changing
the position of the elliptical exerciser or other
electric appliances to correct the problem. Make
sure the elliptical exerciser is plugged into its
own electrical circuit.

• Ghosts—Ghosts are caused by the television

signal following two paths—one is the direct path
and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills,
or other objects. 

• Blue Screen—If the elliptical exerciser is located

in the fringe area of a television station where
the signal is weak, the picture may be of poor
quality or a blue screen may appear. 

Note: If one of these symptoms appears when the
cable from a cable company is connected, the
symptom may be caused by the local company sig-
nal reception. Contact the local cable company.

PROBLEM:

No display appears in the CONSOLE mode and no
picture appears in the TV mode.

SOLUTION:

a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a

properly grounded outlet. Also make sure that the
power cord is securely connected to the jack on the
front of the elliptical exerciser. 

PROBLEM:

The display appears in the CONSOLE mode, but no
picture appears in the TV mode.

SOLUTION:

a. Check the following coaxial cable connections:

• make sure that the coaxial cable is properly con-

nected to a CATV cable (see page 12). 

• make sure that the coaxial cable is connected to

the terminal on the front of the elliptical 
exerciser. 

• Make sure that the coaxial cable is connected to

the console (see step 14 on page 11). 

PROBLEM:

There is no sound or picture when a DVD player or
VCR is connected to the personal television.

SOLUTION

:

a. If the DVD player or VCR is connected with a CATV

cable, make sure that the TUNER mode is selected
on the console. If the DVD player or VCR is con-
nected with an RCA component video cable, make
sure that the AV1 mode is selected on the console.

b. Make sure that the CATV cable or the RCA compo-

nent video cable is connected to the correct
audio/video output terminal or jacks on the DVD
player or VCR. Refer to your DVD player or VCR
owner’s manual for detailed connection instructions.
