at the back.
Magic TV™ is still in Standby mode.
Video cable isn’t correctly attached.
Your display isn’t able to display the current
Output Format (the current Output Format is
displayed on the front panel).

then it is a power issue – please check the power
cable and plug socket.
If a red circle is illuminated on the front panel,
then Magic TV™ is in Standby. Press the Power
button on the remote control.
Please check that you are using the correct cable
and connectors for your TV and that they are
inserted correctly.
Please see the next section for instructions on
how to change Output Format without a picture.

the aerial/antenna until a signal is received.
