Problem:
Monochrome picture only.
Cause:
Incompatible picture norms set on the TV,
the decoder and the source device.
Remedy:
Set TV, decoder and source device to the
same picture norm.
Note:
If problems persist, set the decoder to the
'RGB / Video'
norm; select the picture norm
'Video'
, occasionally also termed
'FBAS'
or
'Composite'
, on the TV set and the source
device.
Problem:
Nothing on the decoder screen.
Cause:
The screen is switched off.
Remedy:
Switch the screen on again in the
'
Device
Setup
'
.
Problem:
The automatic format switch 4:3 / 16:9
does not work.
Cause 1:
The TV set is not exploiting the switch volt-
age supplied through the SCART lead.
Remedy:
Switch TV set to
'controlled AV operation'
mode, or switch TV set manually.
Cause 2:
The source device is not supplying the
requisite switch signals (e. g. the DVD
player when set to
'Letterbox'
or
'Pan
Scan'
).
Remedy:
Switch TV set manually.
Cause 3:
You are using the wrong cables. The switch
signals are only passed via SCART leads.
Remedy:
Use SCART leads.
Problem:
When playing an NTSC-DVD the on-
screen menu is distorted.
Cause:
The TV set does not feature automatic
format detection for NTSC, and has been
set manually to NTSC. The decoder’s on-
screen menus are only generated in PAL
format, so this operation is not possible.
Remedy:
Use a TV set with automatic PAL / NTSC
format switching, or use the decoder’s inte-
gral screen.
Problem:
Picture correct, but no sound audible
through the decoder.
Cause 1:
No sound connection between source de-
vice and decoder.
Remedy:
Complete the sound connection (analogue
or digital depending on mode); see section
entitled
'
Installation, wiring and using the
system for the first time
'
.
Cause 2:
No sound input, or the wrong sound input,
has been assigned to the picture input in
the
'
Source Setup
'
.
Remedy:
Check the sound input to which the source
device is connected. Call up the
'
Source
Setup
'
and carry out the correct assign-
ment.
Cause 3:
The loudspeaker is switched off.
Remedy1:
Switch on the loudspeaker using the
j
j
j
j
button.
Remedy2:
Check that the decoder has not switched
itself off due to overheating or a short-circuit
in the loudspeaker connection.
Problem:
When you switch television pro-
grammes, you hear unwanted noise.
Cause:
The television set is not capable of muting
(silencing) the SCART audio outputs.
Remedy:
Connect the audio output (Cinch sockets)
on the TV set to the pre-amplifier’s
TV
audio input. In the AUDIO column of the
'
Inputs Menu
'
you must now select
TV
instead of
TASI
!
Note:
This variant on standard wiring is possible
with all source devices for which a corre-
sponding pre-amplifier input is available.
Problem:
Decoder switches off after a certain
period of operation.
Cause:
Unit is overheating.
Remedy:
Make sure that the cooling airflow is ade-
quate; reduce volume if necessary.
