How to solve no reception issue on Magnavox Set-top boxes?

  If you're experiencing a 'no reception' issue on your Magnavox Set-top boxes, make sure to complete autoscan in the “SETUP WIZARD” or in the “SETUP” menu. This is required when setting up the STB for the first time or when it's moved to a new location. Also, the selected channel may not exist at that time, as sub-channels are not always being broadcast. Remember that if autoscan is interrupted, some channels won't be received.

  If your Magnavox TV Converter Box is not responding to the remote control, ensure you're pointing the remote at the sensor and are close enough to the STB. Remove any obstructions between the remote and the sensor. Check that the batteries are correctly installed (+ and -) and replace them if depleted.

  Matthew RamirezSep 4, 2025
  If you're not getting any sound from your Magnavox Set-top boxes, verify that the audio cable is correctly connected and that your audio devices (stereo, TV, or decoder) are turned on. Also, ensure these devices are correctly set to the STB audio output channel. If your TV has only one audio input jack, use a standard audio cable (white) to connect the audio output jack (white) on the STB to the audio input jack on the TV.
