Problem Possible Remedies
I cannot receive
higher number
channels (UHF) when
using an antenna
❏ Make sure Cable is set to Off in the Channel menu (page 33).
❏ Perform Auto Program to add channels that are not presently in
the memory (page 23).
Cable stations don’t
seem to work
❏ Make sure Cable is set to On in the Channel menu (page 33).
❏ Perform Auto Program to add channels that are not presently in
the memory (page 23).
I cannot get anything
but TV
❏ Be sure that you did not set the video in the Setup menu (page 42)
to skip your video inputs. If a video input has been set to Skip, it
will be skipped when you press the TV/Video buttons for either
the main or PIP pictures.
Problem Possible Remedies
The remote control
doesn’t work in PIP
mode
❏ Press the TV FUNCTION button. You may have inadvertently
pressed the VCR/DVD FUNCTION button, which changes the
PIP buttons to VCR mode (page 26).
There is no window
picture or it is just
static
❏ Be sure your PIP window picture is set to a video source/channel
that has a program airing.
❏ You may be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it.
Try cycling through your video inputs using the yellow PIP TV/
VIDEO button with the red dot (page 26).
I get the same
program in the
window picture as in
the main picture
❏ Both may be set to the same channel. Try changing channels in
either the main picture or the window picture (page 26).
❏ Your TV may be set up to select all your channels through a cable
box. The cable box will only unscramble one signal at a time, so
you cannot use the PIP feature. If possible, run a direct cable to the
VHF/UHF jack on your TV. This will only work if your cable
system provides an unscrambled signal (page 13).
