SOLVING PROBLEMS (cont.)

Check

Suggested solution

Further checks, if there is still a problem

Can you display menus 
and guides on the 
screen?

YES

 

D

 

NO

 

R

If the TV is connected to the VIDEO OUT or 
S-VIDEO jacks, then you will see menus and 
guides only if the screen resolution 

480i

 is 

set to “

Yes

” and 

480p

720p

 and 

1080i

 are 

set to “

No

”.

Use the front panel to check the user settings (see page 
42) and change the TV Display Capability resolution 
settings if necessary (see page 44).

Is there any sound? 

YES

 

D

 

NO

 

R

Check that the audio cables are securely and 
correctly connected.

Check that you have not muted the sound on the set-
top and/or TV. Adjust the volume control on the set-top 
and/or TV.  If you are using a home theater, check it is set 
up correctly.

Can you hear stereo 
sound?

YES

 

D

Please see the next page

 

NO

 

R

First check that the program is likely to have 
stereo sound (an old movie, for example, may 
not be in stereo).

Check the Audio settings on the TV Guide 
Setup Menu (see page 55). The Stereo Output 
may be set to “Mono”. Change it to “Stereo”.

If the TV is mono, you will only hear stereo sound if you 
have a stereo audio amplifier and speakers or home 
theater connected to the stereo VCR or set-top. This is 
also the case if the stereo TV has only an RF input.
