Connecting a TV Antenna/ Cable to Receive Channels

To view television channels correctly, a signal must be received from one of the following sources:

1. An indoor or outdoor antenna
2. A cable system, note that after your subscription is active, unplug the Antenna from the TV as shown below. Then plug in the cable from the cable company to the RF IN on your TV.

Using antenna/cable to receive programs

a. For the first time you turn on the TV, there is not any channel stored, a pop-up screen appears: "Do you want to proceed with auto scan?" The selection of YES enables you to perform a auto scan without navigating to the channel setup menu first.

b. After finishing auto scan, a channel list will be save in the TV. You can also follow below steps to re-scan the available channels for your TV.

1. Press the SOURCE button to make sure your TV is in the TV mode.

2. Press the MENU button to enter the main menu.

3. Press the RIGHT button twice to highlight the "Antenna icon".

4. Press the DOWN ARROW (CH-) to highlight the Antenna selection.

5. Press the LEFT or RIGHT button to select CATV/Air selection for the antenna selection.

6. If you are using the indoor or outdoor antenna, select Air here. Press the DOWN button and select "Auto Scan".
7. If you are using the cable system, select CATV. Press the DOWN button to select "Auto Scan". Use LEFT or RIGHT button to set the Cable System you desire, Auto should be the correct setting for most cable systems. If you choose Air for the antenna selection, the Cable System selection is unavailable. Then press the DOWN button and select "Start to Scan".
8. The TV will start scanning the channels and store the channels found in TV's channel memory.
9. When the scan is complete, the number of channels will be shown on the screen and the TV will tune to the first channel found.
10. Use the same way to select "Auto Scan Add CH" to add more channels to those scanned.

NOTE: Press MENU button to interrupt the channel scanning. If the TV didn't find any channel, the Channel up and Down buttons do not function.

Selecting Digital Channels

You can select specific digital TV stations using your remote control. To select a digital station, enter the channel number followed by "-1". For example, enter "11-1" for the digital channel 11. If available, the digital channel appears.

Some digital stations provide multiple broadcasts on a single channel. To access these directly, enter higher numbers after the channel number. For example, "11-2" "11-3" etc. for digital broadcasts of channel 11. If available, these digital channels appear.

Using External Antenna

If the picture is not clear with the built-in rod antenna, try placing your TV near a window or connecting an external antenna to the TV to improve reception. If you are in an area with weak TV signals or inside a concrete building, you might need an external antenna to improve reception. The supplied external antenna provides convenience and flexibility for receiving digital signals. A outdoor antenna could also be used to pickup weak signals. Rather than using a “screw-on F connector” to connect to your outdoor antenna Audiovox recommends using Quick Slip-on “F” connectors (not included).

Using Your TV as a Monitor

1. First, press SOURCE button to choose AV IN mode.
2. Connect the AV Cable plugs to the AV out jack of AV Device as below:
   Yellow plug: Connect to the VIDEO OUT jack on the AV Device. Red plug: Connect to the AUDIO IN R jack on the AV Device. White plug: Connect to the AUDIO IN L jack on the AV Device.
3. Finally, Connect the AV cable's 1/8-inch plug to the AV IN jack on the TV unit.

Using Headphone (not included)

For private listening, you can connect an optional headphone with a 1/8-inch plug to the Headphone jack on the left side of the TV. This automatically mutes the built-in speakers.

NOTE:

The TV will not work when it is moving.

The TV will shut off automatically if there is no signal for 15 minutes.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
The TV won't turn on	- Charge the battery.- Check that the AC power cord is connected.- Test the outlet by plugging in another appliance.- Connect to another power outlet.
Poor picture	- Adjust the antenna.- Move to a window (if inside a structure).- Use an external antenna.- Move your portable TV away from other appliances that cause interference.- Make sure the TV and connected antenna are in a fixed position and not used within a moving vehicle.- To choose the best antenna for your location visit the web site: www.antennaweb.org, click on “choose an antenna”, then enter in your information and click “Submit”. This site will show you what stations are available in your area, how far away they are, and recommend type of antenna that is necessary to pick up the stations in your area. You may also click on “View Street Level Map”. A map will then be displayed showing the directions the various channels are located. You can then use this information to select the correct antenna for your area and also will know which way to point your external outside antenna (not the supplied magnetic mount antenna) to pick up the channel(s). The further away from the station that you are, the weaker the signal will be, so a stronger antenna will be necessary to pick to the station.

SOLUTION

Digital TV Signal Information

- The picture freezing, pixilation, dropouts and no signal are all signs that the TV signal may be weak. Many factors affect how strong the signal will be when it reaches your antenna. These factor include how close you are to the TV transmitter, how high your antenna is, weather conditions, and obstructions such as trees or buildings. Knowing where and how far away your favorite TV station's transmitting tower is, can help you solve signal problems.- Digital TV signals received with an antenna keep their quality for longer distances than traditional TV, but at the edge of their range, they dissolve abruptly. This is called the “cliff effect,” where the signal just “falls off of the cliff”. This is one reason why you might be able to receive a clear picture at one time and a no signal the next. You may be right on the edge of the cliff. Often High buildings or trees can also obstruct the signal. Moving the TV’s antenna to the left or right so the tall building does not block the signal can often help. Also raising the antenna higher can also help. Example: If you are in the kitchen with the TV connected to the external magnetic mounted antenna which is located on kitchen counter and are having trouble with the picture freezing occasionally, try moving the antenna up higher by placing it on top of the refrigerator or relocating it to a window facing the direction of the TV station.

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
No sound	- Check the speaker settings. Turn up the volume.- Press MUTE on the remote control to turn off mute.- Unplug the headphones.
Remote control doesn’t work	- Remove any obstacles between the remote and the TV.- Use the remote control near the portable TV.- Point the remote at the IR sensor on the TV.- Replace the battery in the remote control.
The on screen menu disappears before I have time to select an item.	The OSD Duration may be set to low. Press the MENU button to access the Menu, Press the DOWN button to highlight “OSD Duration” and press ENTER to select this menu item. Press the RIGHT arrow key to increase the OSD Duration. Possible values are: 5, 10, and 30 seconds.
After performing a Autoscan, the TV did not find any TV channels so the Channel up and Down buttons do not function.	Check and make sure the Antenna setting is set correctly in the channel setup menu. When an antenna is being used, the antenna setting should be set to Air. When a cable input is being used, the antenna setting should be set to CATV.
