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 of the remote control.
•  Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote control.
•  Test the signal output use 

[IR Signal Check]

 

p. 30

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.
•  Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/– signs) as indicated.
•  When there is an infrared-equipped device such as PC near this unit, it may interrupt the remote 

control signal of this unit.

•  Move the infrared-equipped device away from this unit, change the angle of the infrared sensor or 

turn off the infrared communication function.

How come the Initial setup 

appears every time I turn on this 

unit?

•  Connect the RF coaxial cable to the unit directly and run the initial setup.
•  Make sure to complete the channel scan before the unit goes into standby mode.

Why can I not watch some RF 

signal TV  programs.

• Make 

sure 

[Autoprogram]

 has been completed. 

 

p. 17

•  Autoprogram must be completed when you set up the unit for the 

fi

 rst time or move it to a location 

where previously unavailable channels are broadcast.

•  The selected channel may not be broadcasting.
• When 

[Autoprogram]

 is interrupted and not completed, some channels will not be received. Make 

sure to complete the Autoprogram. 

 

p. 17

•  The selected channel cannot be viewed by the 

[Child Lock]

 setting. 

 

p. 20

•  The unit requires some kind of antenna input. An indoor antenna (VHF / UHF), an external antenna 

(VHF / UHF) or an RF coaxial cable from your wall cable/satellite box needs to be plugged into the unit.

How come there is no image from 

the connected external devices?

•  Check if the correct input mode is selected by pressing 

SOURCE

 or using 

CH + / 

[Switching Each 

Input Mode]

 

 

p. 12

•  Check the antenna or cable 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, it 

changes automatically.

•  Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit changes the numbers automatically to 

the ones signifying the broadcasting station channel number. These basic numbers used for previous 

analog broadcasts. (e.g., input ch#30 auto changes to ch#6.1)

Why are captions not displayed 

entirely? Or, captions are delayed 

behind the dialog.

•  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 captions remain up-to date with 

the current TV screen dialog.

How can I set the clock ?

•  There is no clock function on this unit.

I cannot change the [Child Lock] 

setting because my PIN code no 

longer works.

•  If a Power failure occurs for longer than 10 seconds the child lock setting is retained, but the PIN code 

is set to the default code “0000”.
