The digital TV recorder will not switch on. What should I do?

The digital TV recorder does not seem to work and there is nothing shown on the TV.

The picture appears to be ‘squashed’ or ‘cut off’.

I forgot to plug in the aerial when I set up the digital TV recorder. What should I do?

Check the mains power cable and make sure it is plugged into a suitable power outlet. Check that the mains supply is switched On. Connect the power cable to a different power outlet.

Is the Standby Indicator blue? If it is not:

• Press the STANDBY button on your remote control.

• Make sure that all cables are firmly connected to the digital TV recorder and TV.

• Check that the digital TV recorder is properly plugged into the mains power supply.

If the standby indicator is blue:

• Check you have the correct channel and input selected on your TV.

• Check that all cables are correctly attached.

• Check the brightness level of the TV.

Make sure the aspect ratio settings are suitable for your TV. For more information, see page 20.

Switch off your digital TV recorder at the mains supply. Plug in the aerial. Switch the digital TV recorder mains supply back on and perform a retune. For more information, see page 23.

Help and Advice

Frequently asked question What you can do

The picture or sound keeps breaking up. There are several possible causes of this

type of problem.

• Your signal may be weak, you may have an old, low performance or damaged aerial, or the cable between your aerial and TV may be damaged. Check for any obvious damage to the aerial and cables and make sure that the connectors are properly fitted. If this does not work, get a professional to check the installation – your aerial may provide a better signal if it is moved somewhere else.

• Please remember that older aerials and indoor aerials aren’t as effective as new outdoor and roof aerials. Or, try using a signal amplifier or booster to improve the reception. Check the digital TV coverage in your area. For more information about digital TV reception, please visit www.freeview. co.uk.

How the Digital switchover may affect you:

Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choice and new services. Starting in late 2007 and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.

The map shows when your area will switchover to digital. When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need to re-tune your digital TV recorder in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels, and also to pick up new ones.

Digital UK, the body leading the digital TV switchover, will advise you when you need to re-tune during the switchover.

For re-tuning instructions for this digital TV recorder please see page instruction book.

If you find you can’t receive the extra digital channels, it may be because your area is not covered by Freeview yet or that you need an aerial upgrade. Visit www.digitaluk.co.uk to check.

If you have any questions, please contact your equipment supplier or call Digital UK on 0845 6 50 50 50 or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk.
