Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

Channel tuning problems

Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device mode (page 21).

The channel may have been erased from the channel memory by the Channel Add/Delete feature. Add the channel to the channel memory (page 30).

The channel may be blocked by the Channels Block feature. Unblock the channel (page 49).

If you are unable to tune digital channels, check the antenna configuration (page 29). If you are still unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from the channel list (page 31) and reprogram channels into the channel memory (page 30). If you are still unable to tune digital channels, use the Reset Factory Defaults procedure (page 33). Also see “TV stops responding to controls” and “Other problems”

(page 53).

Closed caption problems

If the program or video you selected is not closed- captioned, no captions will display (page 42).

A closed-caption signal may not display correctly in the following situations: a) when a videotape has been dubbed; b) when the signal reception is weak; or c) when the signal reception is nonstandard (page 42).
