Can't select certain channel
• Channel may be blocked or not approved in the Profiles menu.
• If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct "mode."
Noisy stereo reception
• May be a weak station. Change to mono mode instead of stereo in the Audio menu under Special Audio.
No picture, no sound butTV is on
• Maybe a vacant channel or input is tuned.
• If watching VCR (connected only through antenna input), make sure TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4 - same as
CH3/4 switch on VCR. Also check to make sure the TV/MCR button on the VCR is in the correct "mode."
Sound okay, picture poor
• Check antenna connections and pointing and also check for interfering sources.
• Try adjusting the picture quality, especially sharpness, to improve weak signals.
Black box appears on the screen
• Captioning may be turned on. Check the Caption Display in the Preferences menu.
Wrong picture
The TV and most VCRs let you toggle between pictures: one can be the picture from DIRECTV signal or a terrestrial
antenna (or cable) and one can be from theVCR. If you don't see the picture you think you should be seeing, try
using these buttons to toggle between the pictures:
• Press the TV/VCR button on the VCR remote or on the VCR's front panel.
• Press the ANT button on the remote control.
Taking either of these actions lets you switch the source of the video signal from DIRECTV to the off-air antenna or
cable, and vice versa.
Problems with the remote control
• Maybe something is between the remote control and the remote sensor on the front of the TV.
• Maybe the remote control is not in the correct mode. Press theTV button so the remote will be in TV mode and
can control your television.
• Maybe the batteries in the remote control are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries. (Note. it
you remove the batteries, you may have reprogram the remote to control other components.)
