Possible Solution
Check the power outlet for AC power.
Be sure the TV is tuned to the output channel of the DCT1700 (channel 3 or 4).
Verify that cable connections are correct from the TV set or monitor to
the DCT1700.
Check that the power cord is properly plugged into the outlet and DCT1700.
Check for an obstruction between the remote control and the DCT1700. Aim the
remote control directly at the DCT1700, not the TV or VCR.
Be sure you firmly and deliberately press and release operation keys one at a time.
Check that the DCT1700 has been initialized correctly; refer to Diagnostics.
Check the cable connections and hand-tighten if necessary.
Verify that the cable connections are correct.
Verify the TV is working and has a clear picture.
Unplug the power to the DCT1700 and plug in the unit again. Wait for the DCT1700
to collect the data.
