TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
If you suspect there is a problem with your STB, please check the following.
WARNING! Do not attempt to repair the STB yourself. Tampering with the receiver may
result in fatal electric shock and will invalidate your warranty.
Front display not lit --- Check power lead is connected and the power is on.
No picture or sound --- Check TV is tuned for correct UHF channel or is switched to
correct AV input. Channel is scrambled.
No signal --- Check antenna position. Check LNB wire is not damaged or shorting. Check
LNB may be faulty. Unplug receiver from power socket and retry.
Interference, on picture, using UHF output --- Local terrestrial channel interference.
Change UHF output channel to different one and re-tune your TV. Select the appropriate
‘TV Standard’ using TV Settings menu.
Picture with blocking or frozen --- Signal is weak. Check signal & quality in Channel
Search menu. Check antenna position.
Remote control not working --- Check the batteries and replace with new. Check front
panel of STB is not obstructed.
You have lost or forgotten your password --- Apply master password or contact your
Manhattan dealer.
