• Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.
• Check the batteries on the remote.
• Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote.
• Test the IR signal output use IR signal check. -> p. 37

If okay, then possible infrared sensor trouble.

• Aim the remote directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the unit.
• Reduce the distance to the unit.
• Re-insert or replace the AAA batteries with their polarities (+/–) as indicated on the remote battery area.
• When there is an infrared-equipped device such as PC near this unit, it may interrupt the remote 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 initial setup appears every time I turn on this unit?

Why can I not watch some RF signal TV programs?

• The selected channel may not be broadcasting.
• The selected channel cannot be viewed by the Parental Controls setting. -> p. 24
