troubleshooting
No video and no audio
1. Make sure that the “TV out” or “Video out” setting on
your portable media player is set to “On.”
2. Make sure that the viewer’s battery and your portable
media player are fully charged. If the viewer’s LED is
blinking orange, use the USB cable to charge the
battery.
3. Make sure the viewer in turned “On.” If the LED on
the pendant is not lit up, press the button to power it on.
4. If the LED is blinking Blue, Orange or Purple, there is
no video signal getting to the viewer. Make sure the
connectors are seated properly into the pendant
connector ports located at the bottom of the pendant and
in the appropriate place on your portable media player.
Video image is not bright enough
1. Make sure that the viewer is properly connected to
your portable media player.
2. Make sure that the viewer is fully charged or that it is
powered using the USB cable.
3. Adjust the brightness level by pressing and releasing
the Brightness Up button on the pendant repeatedly until
you achieve the desired viewing mode. The image
contrast can also be adjusted (see “Using the pendant
controls”). Press Brightness Down and Power
simultaneously to reset adjustments to factory settings.
Video image is fuzzy or out of focus
The viewer has a focal distance that is preset at the
factory. There is no focus adjustment. If you cannot see
the video image clearly, you may need to wear a
corrective lens with your viewer. This is likely if you
normally have to wear prescription glasses when using a
laptop computer or watching television. A clip-on
prescription lens, the myvu clip-on, is available for the
viewer (visit www.myvu.com/clipon).
The video is clipped or black bars appear on top and
bottom of the image
The viewer is designed to display a video image with a
4:3 aspect ratio in order to match the standard TV
image. If you’re viewing Widescreen content and your
portable media player allows you to turn Widescreen
viewing off, your image will appear clipped. If you’re
viewing Widescreen content and your portable media
player allows you to turn Widescreen On, the image will
appear in a letterbox format, with black bars appearing
on the top and bottom of the image.
Weak or nonexistent audio
Verify that all connectors are properly attached. Adjust
the volume on your portable media player. Note: The
viewer is designed to work with “variable” audio output.
Some portable media devices with “fixed line level” audio
will not function properly with the viewer.
Battery is not charging or is charging slowly
Verify that the USB cable and all connectors are
securely attached. For the fastest charging time, it is
recommended that you use the USB cable with a USB
wall charger to charge your myvu. Charging your myvu
with the USB cable connected to a computer is possible,
but might result in slower charging times.
If you continue to experience technical problems, please

a note to individuals who wear
prescription eyeglasses
The myvu personal media viewer has been designed to
be light weight and elegant. Accordingly, it will not fit
over larger sizes of eyeglasses. Whether or not you will
need to use your eyeglasses with the myvu system
depends on the degree of correction that you require.
For those who cannot fit the myvu system over their
current eyewear yet desire ophthalmic correction, a clip-
