• Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.

• Check the batteries of the remote control.

• Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote control.

• Test the signal output. If okay, then possible infrared sensor trouble. [IR Signal Check]

• Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the unit.

• Reduce the distance to the unit.

• Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/− signs) as indicated.

• When there is an infrared-equipped device such as PC near this unit, it may interrupt the remote
control signal of this unit.

• Move the infrared-equipped device away from this unit, change the angle of the infrared sensor or
turn off the infrared communication function.

• Connect the RF coaxial cable to the unit directly and run the initial setup.

the problem yourself. There are no user serviceable par ts
inside. Call our toll free customer support line found on the
cover of this manual to locate an authorized service center.

If the Laser Optical Pickup Unit is Dirty

If the unit still does not perform properly when it is operated,
while referring to the relevant sections and to [Troubleshooting
Guide] in this manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be
dirty. Consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center for
inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

IR Signal Check

If the remote control is not working properly, you can use a
digital camera (including a cellular phone with built-in camera)
to see if it is sending out an infrared signal.

With a digital camera
(including built-in cell phone cameras):

Point the Digital Camera towards the remote
control infrared diode at the front of the
remote control. Press any button on the
remote control and look through the camera
display. If the infrared pulsating light appears
through the camera, the remote control is
sending out an IR signal.
