Problems after installation
Not every picture or sound problem is caused by a defect in your DTR. Leads having been accidentally pulled out or worn out batteries in the remote control can also cause impairment. If your unit does something unexpected while you are using it, please unplug it, wait a few seconds, plug it in again, then wait for the lights on your DTR to change to solid red or green. If this fails to solve the problem or the following measures do not bring about satisfactory results, please consult an authorized dealer.
