No power to the DCT1800

Possible Solution

Check the power outlet for AC power.

Be sure the TV is tuned to the output channel of the DCT1800 (channel 3 or 4).

Verify that cable connections are correct from the TV set or monitor to the DCT1800.

Check that the power cord is properly plugged into the outlet and DCT1800.
