  If you're not getting any picture or sound from your Manhattan T4•R TV Accessory, first, check the HDMI connections between the T4•R and your TV to make sure they are secure. Then, ensure that you've selected the correct HDMI input on your TV. If the issue persists, your TV might not be communicating its compatible resolutions correctly. To resolve this, turn on the T4•R, wait 30 seconds, press HOME, and then press and hold '0' for 5 seconds. The T4•R will cycle through resolutions, select Confirm when you see a picture.

  If your Manhattan T4•R TV Accessory picture and sound keep breaking up, or there's no signal, the issue might be a weak signal from your aerial. Check the signal strength by pressing HOME and selecting Information. If the signal is weak, consider having a professional check your aerial installation, as realigning or moving it could improve reception. If you're using a TV aerial with a signal amplifier, you may need to activate the T4•R's +5V DC supply by going to Settings > System > 5V Antenna Power.

  If your Manhattan T4•R TV Accessory switches off after 3 hours, it's because the device is set to automatically go into standby mode after 3 hours of inactivity. To change this, turn off Auto Standby or select a different duration in Settings > System > Standby Options.

  If you're experiencing no signal after moving home with your Manhattan T4•R TV Accessory, it might be because your new home is in a different transmission area. To fix this, go to Settings > Channels > Auto Retune > Retune & Clear Preferences.
