Q: I'm not receiving any channels over channel 13.

A: Simply program your TV and make sure it is in CATV mode. How do I do that? - With your remote control, go to the menu and find the CATV or ANT/CABLE option - Position all channels in CATV or CABLE mode. - Then, choose the TVSCAN or AUTOPROGRAMMING option to enable your TV to receive signals beyond channel 13. Causes of deprogramming are: a) electrical power failure b) disconnection c) new purchase.

Q: How do I check if there's something wrong with my audio/sound?

A: A) For service with a decoder: 1) Check the sound level of the decoder to make sure it is at a reasonable level. 2) Check to see if the decoder’s MUTE option is activated. 3) Check the volume on the TV. B) For service without a decoder: 1) Check the volume on the TV. 2) Check to see if the MUTE option on the TV is activated. 3) Make sure the SPEAKERS ON/OFF option on the TV menu is in the ON position. For both A) and B), if the sound is still not right, check the connections. If the problem persists, contact our customer technical services.

Q: What do I do if I can't get the low end channels (channels 2 to 6)?

A: Since the problem is often related to a VCR that needs cleaning, connect the cable directly to your TV. This will isolate the problem. If the problem persists contact customer technical services and a technician will be sent to your residence.
