Picture very 
infrequently breaks up 
on some or all 
channels

Pictures from an 
equipment are 
unusual when the 
equipment is 
connected via HDMI

• 

Is the HDMI cable connected properly? (p. 34)

• 

Turn Off the TV and equipment, then turn them On again.

• 

Check an input signal from the equipment. (p. 39)

• 

Use an equipment compliant with EIA/CEA-861/861B.

Sound is unusual

• 

Set the sound setting of the connected equipment to 

"2ch L.PCM".

• 

Check the "HDMI1 input" setting in the Sound menu. 

(p. 18)

• 

If digital sound connection has a problem, select analogue 

sound connection. (p. 38)

DVB

After DVB Auto Tuning 
only some or no DVB 
channels are found

• 

Check to ensure your area is covered by DVB 

transmissions. (www.dba.org.au/)

• 

Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for 

DVB.

  For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected 

/ installed by a licenced installer that should comply with 

Australian Standard AS1417.1.

  Note: If you live within 5-10 Km of DVB transmission 

towers, a combined VHF / UHF aerial should be 

adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF 

aerials provide superior reception performance.

• 

If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the 

Master Antenna TV (MATV) system is designed for 

analogue and DVB-T reception. Please consult your body 

corporate. (www.dba.org.au/)

Picture regularly 
breaks up on some 
channels, or 
"No Signal" message

• 

Check "Signal Display". (p. 22)

If "Signal Quality" or "Signal Strength" are displayed in 

red or constantly changing, check aerial.

If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

• 

Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for 

DVB.

  For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected 

/ installed by a licenced installer that should comply with 

Australian Standard AS1417.1.

• 

Interference (known as impulse noise) from household 

appliances such as light switches, fridges etc may cause 

picture break up and / or audio distortion. Use high quality 

quad shielded coaxial cable 

fl

 y lead between TV and 

antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise pickup. If 

problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

• 

When "No Signal" message is displayed check TV aerial 

connection.

• 

The received signal may be too weak to allow the TV 

to reliably lock to the desired “No Signal” channel to 

generate a stable picture. Repeat the tuning procedure 

(p. 22). If problem persists consult your local TV aerial 

installer.

• 

Electrical atmospheric interference caused by local or 

distant lighting storms or heavy rain with wind in "leafy" 

locations may cause pictures to break up and audio to 

mute or distort momentarily.

• 

Impulse noise interference from an infrequently used 

electrical appliance, or a passing vehicle or lawn mower 

with a "noisy" ignition system.

• 

Digital TV reception technology requires high quality, robust DTV signals which in some domestic aerial 

installations, may be relatively poor despite good analogue reception.

Aerial connection 
when using DTV and 
VCR / DVD Recorder

• 

To maintain optimum signal quality from TV aerial, use a 

TV aerial splitter (as illustrated) when connecting two or 

more equipments to the same aerial.
