Settings menu*
There is no picture.
* The illustrations may differ from the actual display.
In this case, try the following.
Make sure that HDMI cables are connected securely to the Cable/Satellite Box and to the
Internet TV Box.
Turn the Cable/Satellite Box off, then turn it on again.
When the Internet TV Box and TV are connected with HDMI cables via an AV Receiver,
pictures may not be displayed even if you try the steps suggested above. In this case,
try reconnecting the Internet TV Box directly to the HDMI input of the TV. (Refer to
Method 2 on the front side of this sheet.)
Pictures may not be displayed properly because of the copyright protection feature of some
Cable/Satellite Boxes when the Internet TV Box and TV are connected with HDMI cables via
an AV Receiver. In this case, contact your Cable/Satellite TV Operators.
