Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I suspect electrical issues or need repairs?
Do not remove the cover, and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Is it safe to use this device near water sources?
No; do not use this apparatus near water. Also, never expose it to rain or moisture.
What should I check if there is no video signal on my TV?
Verify that the TV and set-top are powered on, tuned to the correct channels/inputs, and all connecting cables are firmly secured.
Why does my set-top emit a humming noise sometimes?
The low humming noise is normal; it comes from the internal hard drive's fan adjusting to changes in temperature for cooling.
