Troubleshooting and Support
This section contains troubleshooting tips and answers to common issues and
questions.
Troubleshooting
Use the information in this section to identify and resolve issues with the set-top box. If
you need further assistance, contact your service provider.
No Picture
•Verify that the TV is turned on.
•Verify that nothing is blocking the path from your remote control to the front panel of
the set-top box.
•Verify that your remote control is set to operate the set-top box (rather than another
component in your set up). If the remote control does not operate the set-top box,
replace the batteries in your remote control.
•If the set-top box is plugged into a switched power outlet, verify that the switch is on.
Check the LED on the power supply unit. It lights green when the set-top box is
receiving power from the wall outlet. Verify that the Power light on the front panel of
the set-top box is green.
•Verify that all cables are properly connected.
•If WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is used to connect to the home network, verify that
the network’s wireless gateway has the WPS configuration setting enabled. To
initiate the connection, press the WPS button on the set-top box, and then press the
WPS button on the home network gateway.
•Verify that the Link light on the receiver is green to indicate that the receiver is
connected to the home network. If the receiver is not connected to the home
network, do the following:
– Check the Ethernet cable to the NETWORK connector to verify that the cable to
your home network is connected properly.
– If a wireless connection is used, verify that the WPS indicator light on the front
panel displays solid green for five minutes after pairing is successful. If pairing
was unsuccessful, the WPS indicator light blinks green then shuts off without
displaying solid green. If this occurs, wait two minutes and then press the WPS
button on the set-top box again, followed by pressing the WPS button on the
gateway.
If necessary, reboot the receiver by unplugging the AC power adapter from the
electrical outlet, waiting ten seconds, and then plugging it back into the electrical
outlet.
26
•If your system includes an external DVR recorder or home theater receiver, verify
that you have properly connected the device to the set-top box. Verify that the
Record light on the set-top box lights red when DVR recording is in progress.
•Verify that you are using the proper input selection on your TV or home theater
receiver. If you are using a component video connection, make sure that the TV
display capability settings are appropriate for your TV. If you are using the HDMI
connection, make sure the connection goes directly from your set-top box to your
TV (or your home theater receiver). If the set-top box detects that the link is not
secure, your receiver will not transmit a picture.
•Verify that the HD light on the set-top box is blue when the set-top box receives a
high-definition input signal.
•Verify that the set-top box is set to the proper screen type and resolution. If your TV
is a 16:9 TV, you can use the Auto Pillarbox setting to add black borders to 4:3
transmissions, so that the picture is not stretched.
No Color or Incorrect Color
•Verify that the current TV program is broadcast in color.
•Adjust the TV color controls.
•If you are using a component video connection, check that all connectors are
connected completely and properly.
•If you are using a component video connection and your HDTV has only RGB or
RGB-HV connectors, you must use an adapter. You can obtain the adapter through
an electronics retailer.
•Some programs may include copy protection, which means that if your set-top box
is connected to your HDTV through the component video connectors, the picture is
downgraded to standard TV quality. To prevent this from happening, use an HDMI
connection, if it is supported on your TV.
No Sound
•Verify that all audio and video cables are connected securely and correctly. If your
system includes an external DVD recorder or home theater receiver, verify that you
have properly connected the device to the set-top box.
•Verify that the volume is turned up.
•Verify that the mute function is not on.
•Verify that you are using the proper input selection on your TV or home theater
receiver.
27
Screen burn-in
Images such as letterbox bars or side bars, bright closed-captioning backgrounds,
station logos, or any other stationary images may cause the display in your HDTV to
age unevenly. This is known as screen burn-in. Refer to the owner’s manual that came
with your HDTV for more information about avoiding screen burn-in.
CAUTION: Do not display the same fixed images on your HDTV screen for extended
periods of time.
Frequently asked questions
What is digital television?
Digital television (DTV) is a significant leap forward in television technology compared
to analog television that has been widely available since the 1940s. DTV is delivered
and displayed using digital encoding, similar to the way a computer operates. By using
digital technology, there is no variation in picture and sound quality from the origination
point until it is displayed on your television. You always receive a high-quality picture
without the wavy lines or static that you might get from a weak analog signal. Another
feature of digital television is digital surround sound using Dolby Digital technology,
which is the same technology used to produce the sound you hear in movie theaters.
What is standard definition television?
Standard definition television (SDTV) is basic digital television programming delivered
by your service provider. Typically, the SDTV screen is the same, nearly square shape
as an analog television screen. Digital images on an SDTV set are crisp and clear, and
noticeably better than on a standard analog television set using an antenna.
What is high definition television?
High definition television (HDTV) is an improved way to send and receive television
broadcast signals. HDTV images are made up of pixels that are much smaller and
closer together than those used in standard analog television, and there are millions of
them. Thus, HDTV can display five to six times the detail of analog television to deliver
picture quality that is much more realistic, dimensional, and precise. SDTV programs
can be viewed on an HDTV.
Are local TV stations or other programmers broadcasting in HDTV?
Many local TV stations and programmers are transmitting digital signals. However,
transmitting a digital signal does not mean transmitting an HDTV signal. Some stations
are using the new bandwidth to broadcast several standard definition channels. Most
stations and programmers, once they begin broadcasting in digital, are offering HD
content from their parent network (for example, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and PBS).
Contact your service provider for more information.
Why aren’t all the shows I watch in high definition?
A high definition program must originate in HD format and be broadcast in HD format.
Having an HDTV system does not mean that everything you watch will be viewed in
high definition. Getting the signal from a digital source also does not mean it is high
definition.
28
What is HDMI and does it support Dolby Digital 5.1 audio?
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed, all-digital audio/
video interface. The Dolby Digital audio format can provide up to 5.1 separate
channels of surround sound, and is the standard used for DVD-Video. HDMI supports
standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio, such as
Dolby Digital audio, on a single cable.
Picture formats
What is the difference between a standard-screen and a wide-screen HDTV?
The type of screen your HDTV has (wide-screen or standard-screen) determines how
the set-top box displays programs on the screen. The picture format for an HDTV is a
combination of aspect ratio and screen resolution and is different for standard-screen
and wide-screen HDTVs.
What is aspect ratio?
An aspect ratio is the ratio of the width to the height of the TV screen. The aspect
ratios differ because the television industry manufactures both standard-screen and
wide-screen HDTVs to appeal to consumer viewing preferences. The two aspect ratios
are as follows:
•On standard-screen (4:3) HDTVs, the programming is displayed in letterbox format
in the middle of the screen. There are bars surrounding the picture.
•On wide-screen (16:9) HDTVs, the programming is displayed on the full screen.
What is the screen resolution?
The screen resolution indicates the amount of detail that the picture displays.
Resolution is identified by the number of display lines on the screen. The techniques
that an HDTV uses to “paint” the picture on the screen are referred to as progressive
and interlaced.
With the progressive scanning method, the lines are drawn on the screen one at a time
in sequential order. Progressive scanning results in a more detailed image on the
screen and is also less susceptible to the flicker commonly associated with interlaced
scanning. The interlaced method involves refreshing pixels in alternation, first the odd
lines and then the even lines.
For advanced setup, select the screen resolution that your TV can support. Refer to
your Feature Guide and HDTV owner’s manuals to choose the proper screen
resolution for your setup. For example, a screen resolution of 1080i indicates that the
screen shows 1080 lines on an interlaced display, and 720p indicates that the screens
shows 720 lines on a progressive-scan display.
