•If you used audio cables (instead of only using the supplied black RF coaxial cable) make sure the TV or Stereo Receiver is set to the correct Audio In channel (usually the AUX IN, Auxiliary In, A/V IN, Audio In, or External In channel). See your TV or Stereo Receiver owner’s manual for details.

The picture is distorted.
