Troubleshooting
No channels found or poor Freeview reception
Ensure the aerial is securely connected. Perform an automatic channel scan. If reception is still poor, try repositioning the aerial or use a higher-gain outdoor or indoor amplified digital coaxial aerial, especially in low-signal areas.
Device won't power on
Check if the mains power adapter is properly connected to both the TV and the power outlet. If using batteries, ensure they are correctly inserted, charged, and are rechargeable AA batteries. Try a different power source or new batteries.
External device (e.g., game console) not displaying
Verify the HDMI or AV cable is securely connected to both the TV and the external device. Make sure you have selected the correct input source (HDMI or AV) on the TV using the remote control's `Source` button.
USB media files not playing
Ensure the USB drive is formatted correctly (FAT32 is generally recommended). Check that the files are in supported formats (MP3, WAV, JPEG, MPEG4, AVI). The USB drive or external hard drive should not exceed specified capacity limits. Info needed: [Max USB/HDD capacity]. Some high-bitrate files may not play smoothly.
Recording not working
Confirm a USB storage device is connected and has sufficient free space. Ensure the USB device is formatted correctly. Check the EPG to verify the recording schedule is correctly set.
