  Jessica HolderAug 13, 2025
  If your Motorola Receiver remote control isn't working, try these steps: * Ensure the remote is in “Cable” mode. * Make sure there are no obstructions between the remote and the receiver. Aim directly at the receiver's front panel. * Ensure you're not too far to the side; stand in front of the receiver. * Press operation keys firmly and deliberately, one at a time. * Check and replace the remote's batteries if needed.

  Jordan PenaAug 25, 2025
  If your Motorola Receiver won't power on: * It might be undergoing a software update. Wait a few minutes and try again. * Ensure the power supply is connected to both the receiver and a working AC outlet. Unplug the power cord, plug it back in, and press the POWER button. * If connected to a switched outlet, ensure the unit controlling the outlet is powered on. Unplug and replug the receiver's power cord, then press the POWER button. Using an unswitched outlet is recommended.

  Some standard definition (SD) programs are broadcast in letterbox format, which includes black bars above and below the picture. Some wide-screen TVs have a zoom feature that can remove these bars. Consult your TV manual for details on zooming 4:3 video.

Why are there black bars on all four sides of the picture on my Motorola DCH70 Receiver?
- A
  Anne WrightSep 8, 2025
  This can happen on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD broadcast is in letterbox format. To confirm, check if commercials fill the screen or if a network logo appears below the active video. If so, the program is being letterboxed by the broadcaster. You can minimize this by using the zoom feature on your TV. Also, a broadcaster might include black bars on the sides of a wide-screen broadcast, creating a “hybrid” aspect ratio that results in a black border on a 4:3 TV. Since this is part of the broadcast, the receiver cannot correct it, but you may minimize the border using the zoom feature on your TV.
