Information
Not every picture or sound problem is caused by a defect in your DTR. Leads having been
accidentally pulled out or worn out batteries in the remote control can also cause impairment.
If your unit does something unexpected while you are using it, please unplug it, wait a few
seconds then plug it in again. If this fails to solve the problem or the following measures do not
bring about satisfactory results, please consult an authorised dealer.
