Your TV turns on and off
unexpectedly.
What to do
• Adjust antenna position to reduce interference.
• Weak FM stations will produce static in the surround speakers. Select the 2-speaker
mode to minimize noise.
• Make sure speaker cables are not damaged and the connections are secure.
• Reduce the output level from any external components connected to the media center.
• Check the connections.
• Make sure the component is turned on.
• Refer to the component owner's manual.
• Enter a password of 2673 to access the parental controls and then create a
new password.
• Make sure the audio input cable is firmly seated in the media center
SPEAKER ZONE 1 jack.
• Make sure correct codes are set. See "Programming your LIFESTYLE
your TV" on page 19.
• Make sure that the front of the media center is not obstructed. The IR emitters that send
commands to your external components are behind the front panel display.
• If you still cannot control your external components successfully, you may need to con-
nect the external IR emitter, included with your system, to the IR EMITTER jack on the
rear panel of the media center. See "Connecting the optional IR emitter cable" in your
LIFESTYLE ® Installation Guide.
• Reposition the TV on/off detector on the back of your TV.
• Verify that the TV on/off detector is working properly by choosing TV Status in the
Settings (TV) menu. When you turn on your TV, the status line that reads, "Detected TV
Power: Off" should change to "Detected TV Power: On".
