Caring for the remote

• Do not drop the remote.

• Do not get the remote wet.

• Do not use or store the remote in the

following locations:

In direct sunlight

Near hot objects

Areas with high humidity

• Do not mix new and used batteries.
Only add all new batteries.

• Do not mix battery brands. Different
battery brands may have different
voltages even if the same size.

• When not planning to use the remote
for a long period of time (over one
month), remove the batteries to prevent
battery fluid leaks inside the remote. If a
battery leak occurs inside the remote,
discard the old batteries, wipe out the
liquid from the case, and add new
batteries.

• The Pioneer batteries supplied with the
remote do not contain heavy metals,
such as mercury, nickel, or cadmium. In
many countries, however, the disposal
of batteries with household waste is not
allowed. Be sure to comply with local
regulations when disposing of batteries.

• The remote’s TV preset code setting
will only last for about one minute
without batteries, so to prevent the
inconvenience of losing the stored
settings, have ready a fresh set of
new batteries and add them immedi­ately after removing the old batter­ies. However, if the remote’s buttons
are pressed while the batteries are
removed, the brand code setting will
be deleted. Please be careful not to

• If an object is blocking the path between
the remote and the DTR signal sensor
the unit might not respond to the
remote commands. If this happens,
remove the obstacle or change your
position.

• As the batteries weaken, the range of
the remote becomes shorter. If the
operation range is too short for your
preference, replace the batteries.

Troubleshooting

Chapter 10:

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with the DTR, check the following items to see if the problem can be
resolved. Sometimes another device is at fault, so be sure to also inspect the other devices
being used.

10

Condition

No sound, no picture.

Only the Setup menu
displays. No functions or
menus can be accessed.

Possible cause

• The DTR is not plugged into
the main power supply.

• The DTR is in standby.

• Non-digital television is being

viewed via the UHF aerial TV
connection.

• The SCART lead is connected
to the wrong sockets.

• The connections are correct
but the TV is not switched to an
external AV source (AV1 or EXT
1, etc.).

• The connection cables might
be defective (corroded, broken,
or damaged) or missing.

• A download list of (digital)
services is not stored in the
DTR’s memory.

Countermeasures

• Check the mains power supply
connection.

• Press one of the number
buttons or STANDBY button
on the remote to wake up the
DTR.

• Press the remote TV/DTV
button.

• Check the SCART connec­tions.

• Check the TV setting.

• Check all connections.

• Check the aerial connection.

Choose Add New Channels
from the Installation menu and
scan for broadcast channels.
If no channels have been added,
other menu screens do not
display.

37

Troubleshooting10

Condition

Only the HOME MENU, its
sub-menus, and the informa­tion bar are available. Service
selection is not possible.

Intermittent reception,
frozen image, or “mosaic”
effect.

The remote is not working
properly.

Possible cause

• The DTR is not correctly set up
for the aerial.

• The aerial is not receiving the
signal.

• The received signal is too
weak.

• The received signal is too
strong.

• The aerial is damaged.

• The cable links are defective

(corroded, broken, or damaged
connectors and/or wires).

• A poorly positioned or
unstable aerial is causing a poor
signal.

• There are no batteries in the
remote or the batteries are low
or dead.

Countermeasures

• Check if the analogue
channels are received properly
and then check the aerial
connection (aerial to the DTR,
and TV aerial input connected to
the DTR UHF input). Refer to
section

Signal Check

30.

• Check the aerial installation
and positioning.

• Check the aerial installation
and positioning or install a larger
aerial.
In unusual cases, the effect can
be caused by severe weather or
very heavy cloud cover.

• Install an attenuator at the
receiver UHF input.

• Replace the aerial.

• Check all the connections and

cables.

• Re-position the aerial and
fasten it securely.

• Check the batteries and
replace them if necessary.
