the external device's user manual.
Sound Test
If you think you have a sound problem, please perform the sound test. You can check the sound by playing a built-in melody sound

Signal Strength (digital channels only)
Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from 'snowy' to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect
reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can,
however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.
If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength.
N
Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the strongest signal.
