Digital TV
Picture regularly pixelates
on some channels, or
‘No Signal’ message
Check “Signal Condition” via TV Setup menu. If “Signal
●
Quality” or “Signal Strength” are red/orange or constantly
changing, check aerial/cable/connections. If problem
persists consult your local TV antenna installer.
Too much signal; is “Signal Strength” always at full strength?
●
If yes, try attenuating (reducing) the signal strength
Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for
●
DTV reception.
The received signal may be too weak to allow the TV to
●
reliably lock to the selected channel to generate a viewable
picture. If problem persists consult your local TV aerial
installer.
Interference from household appliances (known as impulse
●
noise) such as light switches, fridges etc may cause picture
break up and / or audio distortion. Use high quality quad
shielded coaxial cable (RG6Q) fly lead between TV and
antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise pickup. If
problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.
Antenna installation may be using an aerial amplifier that is
●
faulty or an older style aerial amplifier that was not designed
for digital TV.
Older style antenna cabling, loose fitting/corroded wall
●
socket connections/terminals etc.
Picture infrequently
pixelates on some or all
channels
Electrical interference caused by local or distant lighting
●
storms, heavy rain, high wind etc may cause picture to
break up and or audio to mute/distort momentarily.
Impulse noise interference from an infrequently used
●
electrical appliance, or a passing vehicle or lawn mower with
a “noisy” ignition system.
Older style antenna cabling, loose fitting/corroded wall
●
socket connections/terminals etc.

●
Has the TV been switched On?
●
Point the remote control directly at the front of the TV (within
●
about 7 m and a 30 degree angle of the front of the TV).
Situate the TV away from sunshine or other sources of
●
bright light not to shine on the TV’s remote control signal
receiver.
Parts of the TV become hot
Even when the temperature of parts of the front, top and
●
rear panels has risen, these temperature rises will not pose
any problems in terms of performance or quality.
