Your DTH 8005 doesn’t switch on
• Did you move the DTH 8005? Check the power plug: is it well plugged into the mains socket? Also check the power cable jack at the rear of the DTH 8005; is it well pushed in.
• Is the mains socket to which you DTH 8005 is connected receiving current? Try to plug in a lamp or other electrical device: do they work? Check the corresponding fuse in your house’s fuse box.
The remote control doesn’t work
• To control your DTH 8005, you must first press the DVD key of the remote control.
• Point the remote control at the front of your DTH 8005, not at your TV set.
•The operating range of the remote control is 6 to 8 metres. It gradually decreases as the batteries wear down.This is a good indicator of the state of the batteries.When the batteries require replacing, the signal lamp on the remote control flashes when you use it.
•Make sure no objects (or animals) are in the path of the infrared beam between the remote control and your DTH 8005.They may block the beam and thereby cause a malfunction of your DTH 8005.

•Some DVD players made by the Thomson group (Thomson, Brandt, Ferguson, Saba, Telefunken) react to the same codes.To avoid this inconvenience, you can program your DTH 8005 and its remote control so they have a different code to those of the other devices. Refer to page 60.
