- Check antenna position or cable connection. Weak signals can
cause noise. Use of an RF Signal amplifier may help. Check the TV Source setting in the menu for
proper selection between broadcast, cable, IRC, and HRC.
- Check antenna position or cable connection. Check the TV Source setting in the
menu for proper selection between broadcast, cable, IRC, and HRC.
- Poor grounding will cause this problem. The cable feed should be grounded
at entry into building or house structure. Jensen Transformers model VR-1FF CATV Ground Isolator
may also do the trick if the ground problem can not be found.
- Check antenna position. Sometimes to much gain from the cable source can cause
this type of problem. Radio Shack sells 3dB and 6dB attenuators that might help.
- Make certain PC or control device is set to the appropriate baud rate to
match the baud rate set in the VTune. Check the VTune Pro address.
- Some terminal programs send both carriage return and line feed (0Dh,
0Ah) when the enter key is pressed. Make certain it only sends carriage return (0D hex). When writing
code try to put a 0Dh 100ms before sending a VTune Pro command to make certain the buffer is
empty.
- We have found adding a character delay of 1ms may help
especially when looping multiple units. Also make certain there is at least 100ms between
commands.
- Check the lockout function as described in setup and serial commands.
- Check if batteries are in remote or change batteries. Check the lockout function
as described in setup and serial commands.
