Display/picture issue.

• Check that the connection and Input Settings on your set top box are correct.
• Compare the picture from the set top box with the picture from the TV or other source input.

  For example, if the set top box (TV OUT) is connected to TV (RF IN) via RF cable, please switch the input to TV and compare the picture. If the TV picture has no issue, then the issue is with the set top box. In this case, please contact your set top box service provider.

  You may also playback a movie from another source Input (i.e. Bluray player or DVD player) for comparison.
