Make sure your antenna is aimed to receive the strongest possible signal. 2. If this does not solve the problem, consider installing a larger antenna with higher gain. This can help to gather more signal transmitted from the TV station.
Appendix B: Troubleshooting If you encounter any problems with the tuner, look through this section for a description of your problem. Try solving the problem by following the given solutions. However, if after attempting all the recommended actions you still cannot solve the problem, please contact PIONEER SERVICE AND PARTS CENTER.
