Troubleshooting

Some quick

and easy 

tips to fixing 

problems 

yourself

• Check volume control.
• Make sure the TV is not Muted.
• Try another channel. The problem may be the broadcast, not your 

Entertainment Machine.

• Are the Audio A/V cables properly installed?
• Are the wires for external speakers (if you have external speakers) 

Properly installed?

• Are you in TV or cable tuning mode (See Auto Program on page 8), and 

should be in the other?

• Make sure output channels on all A/V equipment are on the same channel (3 or 4).
• Check that all connections are tight.

• Is the AC power plugged in?
• Check that your AC power outlet works. (Test it by plugging in something 

else or try another plug.)

• Make sure your brightness and audio controls are set properly.
• Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.

• Check the color control in the Video menu.
• Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.

• Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed properly.

SOLUTIONS

• Check your antenna connection or location.

• Check your antenna direction and/or location.
• Make sure the wire from your antenna to your Entertainment Machine is 

properly connected.

The following may cause image problems or distortion:
Electrical appliances, powerful lights, cars, trucks; Computers or
portable phones; Medical equipment

• If possible increase the distance between your Entertainment Machine and 

the offending appliance. Or shut one of them off.
