INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

 

Answer

 

 

 

 

PREPARATION

• Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.

 

 

• Check the batteries of the remote control.

 

 

 

• Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the

 

 

 

remote control.

 

 

 

• Test the signal output. If OK, then possible infrared sensor trouble.

 

 

 

(Refer to “IR Signal Check” on page 58.)

 

 

 

• Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front

 

 

 

 

 

of the unit.

 

 

WATCHING

• Reduce the distance to the unit.

 

 

Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/– signs) as indicated.

 

 

• When there is an infrared-equipped device such as PC near this unit, it

 

 

may interrupt the remote control signal of this unit.

 

 

• Move the infrared-equipped device away from this unit, change the angle

 

TV

of the infrared sensor or turn off the infrared communication function.

 

• Connect the RF coaxial cable to the unit directly and run the initial setup.

 

 

 

• Make sure to complete the channel scan before turning off the unit.

 

 

OPTIONAL

• Make sure autoprogram has been completed.

 

 

(Refer to “Autoprogram” on page 22.)

 

 

• Autoprogram must be completed when you set up the unit for the first

 

SETTING

time or move it to a location where previously unavailable channels are

 

broadcast.

 

 

• The selected channel may not be broadcasting.

 

 

• When autoprogram is interrupted and not completed,

 

 

 

some channels will not be received. Make sure to complete.

 

 

OPERATING

(Refer to “Autoprogram” on page 22.)

 

 

• The selected channel cannot be viewed by the “Child Lock” setting.

 

 

(Refer to ‘‘Child Lock” on page 30.)

 

 

• The unit requires some kind of antenna input. An indoor antenna (VHF /

 

BLU-RAY

UHF), an external antenna (VHF /UHF) or an RF coaxial cable from your

 

 

wall cable/satellite box needs to be plugged into the unit.

 

 

• Check if the right input mode is selected by pressing [SOURCE] or using

 

 

 

[CH + / -]. (Refer to “Switching Each Input Mode” on page 19.)

 

 

BLU-RAY

• Check the antenna or cable connection to the unit.

 

• When using the Composite Video Connection check that the Green

 

(Y), Blue (Pb/Cb) and Red (Pr/Cr) connectors are connected to their

 

corresponding colored jacks on the unit.

 

SETTING

• Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit changes

 

 

the numbers automatically to the ones signifying the broadcasting

 

 

stations. These are the numbers used for analog broadcasts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Clean the disc.

 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Ensure the disc is correctly inserted.

 

 

• Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc.

 

 

• Cancel the parental lock or change the control level.

 

 

• Insert a correct disc that plays back on this unit.

 

 

• Handle a disc with special care so that it does not have fingerprints,

 

 

scratches or dusts on its surface.

 

 

• Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are

 

 

 

common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can

 

INFORMATION

display a dialogue to maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue

 

 

exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions

 

 

remain up-to date with the current TV screen dialogue.

 

 

• There is no clock function on this unit.
