The set top box is being controlled by
IR interference from other remotes or
IR emitters
Depending on the location of the set top box, the set top box may experience interference
from fluorescent lights, IR remotes or from other IR emitters on set top boxes in the
same area.
The IR emitter supplied with the PD295-004 allows the pass through of other external IR
signals through its outward facing side. This IR emitter also sends the IR signal out the
side opposite the cable entry, besides sending the signal through the side mounted to the
set top box.
Fluorescent lights emit IR noise that reduces the sensitivity of the set top box IR receiver.
If there is a possibility that the IR emitter can be exposed to unwanted IR signals in the
area, it is recommended that the IR emitter be covered with tape that blocks IR.
Set top box and TV are out of sync
Set top box is ON when the TV is OFF
or
set top box is OFF when the TV is ON
It is possible that the TV power state and the set top box power state get out of
synchronization; the set top box is off when the TV is on. To correct this problem, turn
both the TV OFF and set top box OFF.
If the problem persists, the IR emitter cable may not be aimed well enough for the set top
box to receive the proper signal. Try moving the IR emitter and then covering it with
black tape as suggested above.
TV turns on but does not control the
set top box. There may be only a black
screen or a fixed satellite channel that
cannot be changed.
There can be many causes including a locked up set top box, miswiring, or incorrect
configuration settings.
1.
Reset the set top box using one of two ways.
a.
Push the reset button on the set top box.
b.
Remove power from the set top box for 30 seconds.
2.
Check the wiring. The signal loop must be correct and complete. The CCI cable
from the TV must connect to the Interface Module which is in turn connected by
