Useful tips
FAQ
|
Question |
Answer |
|
My remote control does not work. What should I do? |
● Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit. ● Check the batteries on the remote control. ● Re-insert or replace the AAA batteries with their polarities (+/–) as indicated on the remote control battery area. ● Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote control. ● Test the IR signal output use IR signal check. --> p. 35 If okay, then possible infrared sensor trouble. ● Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the unit. ● Reduce the distance to the unit. ● When there is an infrared-equipped device such as PC near this unit, it may interrupt the remote control signal on this unit. Move the infrared-equipped device away from this unit, change the angle of the device's infrared sensor or turn off the infrared communication function. |
|
How come the setup wizard appears every time I turn on this unit? |
● Connect the RF coaxial cable directly to this unit and run the setup wizard. ● Make sure to complete the setup wizard before the unit goes into standby mode. |
|
Why can I not watch some RF signal TV programs? |
● Auto scan must be completed when you set up the unit for the first time or move it to a location where previously unavailable channels are broadcast. ● Make sure Start Scan has been completed. --> p. 23 ● The selected channel may not be broadcasting. ● When Start Scan is interrupted and not completed, some channels will not be received. Make sure to complete the auto scan. --> p. 23 ● The selected channel cannot be viewed by the Child and ratings lock setting. --> p. 25 ● The unit requires some kind of antenna input. An indoor antenna (Digital or VHF / UHF), an external antenna (Digital or VHF / UHF) or an RF coaxial cable from your wall cable or set-top box needs to be plugged into the unit. |
|
How come there is no image from the connected external devices? |
● Check the antenna, cable or other input connection to the unit. ● When using the component video connection check that the green (Y), blue (Pb/Cb) and red (Pr/Cr) connectors are connected to their corresponding colored jacks on the unit. |
|
When I enter a channel number, why does it change automatically? |
● Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit changes the numbers automatically to the ones signifying the broadcasting station's channel number. These basic numbers used for the previous analog broadcasts. (e.g., input digital ch# 30 automatically changes to digital ch# 8.1) |
|
Why are captions not displayed entirely? Or why are captions delayed behind the dialog? |
● Closed captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialog are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display a dialog to maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialog exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the closed captions remain up-to date with the current TV screen dialog. |
|
How can I set the clock? |
● Switch to TIME menu, you can set the clock in Clock selection. |
|
My PIN code no longer works, how can I change the child lock setting? |

IR signal check
If the remote control is not working properly, you can use a digital or cell phone camera to see if it is sending out an infrared signal.
e.g.) With a digital camera:
Point the digital camera towards the remote control infrared diode at the front of the remote control. Press and hold any key on the remote control and look at the camera display. If an infrared pulsating light appears on the display, the remote control is sending out an IR signal.
Note: Some cameras may have an IR filter or dual camera cell phones may have an IR filter in one of the camera's and both will not display the IR signal.
