  If you're experiencing a lack of both picture and sound with your Cahors Tuner, several factors could be at play. First, verify that the cables connecting your TV and the receiver are correctly and securely connected, and that the antenna is also properly connected. Second, ensure that your TV is set to the correct video or AV input. Finally, if you're using a Composite or S-Video connection, make sure the video definition is set to 576i. You can adjust this by pressing EXIT and then FORMAT on the remote control until the picture appears.

  If the remote control for your Cahors Tuner isn't working, start by checking if batteries are inserted correctly. If batteries are already in place, try replacing them with a fresh set.

  If you're experiencing glitches in the picture or audio with your Cahors Tuner, it might be due to insufficient signal strength. Check that the antenna cable is securely plugged in and that the signal is adequate. Another potential cause is electrical interference. Ensure that all antenna cabling is quad-shielded to minimize interference.

  If music files on your USB memory stick aren't appearing on your Cahors Tuner, the issue might be related to the file format. Ensure that the files are in MP3 format. Also, check that the files are located at the root or top level of the USB drive, and not buried within folders or directories. Move the files if necessary.
