If the TV does not work properly after checking it, please contact your local service line or STRONG dealer. Alternatively, you can send a support mail via our website www.strong.tv.

2.  Plug another electrical device into the outlet to make sure it is working or turned on.

3.  The power plug is in bad contact with the outlet.

4.  Check the signal source.

No colour| 1.  Change the color system.

2.  Adjust the saturation.

3.  Try another channel. Black-white programme may be received.

The remote control does not work| 1.  Change the batteries.

2.  The batteries are not installed correctly.

3. The main power is not connected.

No picture, normal sound| 1.  Adjust the brightness and contrast.

2.  Broadcasting failure may happen.

Normal picture, no sound| 1.  Press the volume up button to increase the volume.

2.  The volume is set to mute, press MUTE to restore the sound.

3.  Change the sound system.

4.  Broadcasting failure may happen.

Unorderly ripples on the picture| It is usually caused by local interference, such as cars, daylight lamps, and hair driers. Adjust the antenna to minimize the interference.
---|---
Snowy dots, blocking, and interference| If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be marred by dots, show blocking, or break-ups. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the reception.

1.  Adjust the position and orientation of the indoor/outdoor antenna.

2.  Check the connection of the antenna.

3. Fine-tune the channel.

4.  Try another channel. Broadcasting failure may happen.

Ghost| Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path, and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.
Radio frequency interference| This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, loss of contrast in the picture. Find out and remove the radio interference source.
Playback of video is causing picture freeze/macroblocks or similar distortion, especially on HD content| The read/write speed of your USB device could be too low. Make sure to use a USB storage device with sufficient speed and space. Pen drives (USB sticks) may not support sufficient speed.
No signal or weak signal, intermittent reception| a)  Cables might have loosened; moisture might have entered into cables or connectors, heavy rain at present or heavy storm at present. Check the cable connections, LNB, and other equipment connected between the LNB and the receiver, or peak the dish. Wait for rain/storm to subside. Ask a local satellite specialist for advice.

b)  The satellite dish is not pointing at the (correct) satellite(s). Adjust the dish. Ask a local satellite specialist for advice.

c)  Satellite dish is too small, trees or buildings in the path. Change to a larger dish or change the position of the dish.

d) The signal is too strong, and the dish is oversized. Connect a signal attenuator to the LNB input. Ask a local satellite specialist for advice.

Bad picture/blocking error during heavy rain| Heavy rain will attenuate satellite signals, and below a certain level, blocking will occur.

Make sure your dish installation is up to standards to minimize rain effects. When in doubt, ask a local satellite specialist for advice.

If the TV turns off after plugging a cable into any connector| Again, turn on the TV.

NOTE:
If the problem persists after these solutions, please contact your local support center or send a support mail via our website www.strong.tv.
