7. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Solution
No power	Check if the power adapter is securely connected to the receiver and the power outlet. Ensure the power outlet is functional.
No signal / No picture on TV (HDMI)	Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the receiver and the TV. Select the correct HDMI input source on your TV. Check antenna connection.
No signal / No picture on TV (AV)	Ensure the AV cable is connected correctly (color-matched). If still no signal, try swapping the red and yellow wires, or the white and yellow wires, as AV port wiring can vary. Using the HD cable (HDMI) is recommended for better signal quality.
Remote control not working	Check the batteries in the remote control and replace them if necessary. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the receiver's IR sensor.
Cannot find channels	Ensure your antenna is properly connected and positioned for optimal reception. Perform a new channel scan from the settings menu. Verify that DVB-T2/C signals are available in your region.
WiFi not connecting	Ensure the USB WiFi antenna is securely inserted. Double-check your WiFi password. Try restarting the receiver and your router.

8. User Tips

For the best picture quality, always use the HDMI connection if your TV supports it.
When using the AV connection, if you encounter a 'no signal' message, try reversing the red and yellow cables, or the white and yellow cables, as AV port pinouts can sometimes differ.
To ensure smooth PVR recording and Timeshift, use a reliable USB storage device with sufficient free space.
Keep your receiver's firmware updated if new versions become available (check the manufacturer's website or device settings for updates).
The compact size of the U12 allows it to be discreetly placed behind or on top of your TV using adhesive if desired.
