      This Sceptre TV does not support QAM. You’ll need a cable box for the TV to work correctly. Connect an HDMI cable from the cable box to the display. Then, turn on the display and cable box, ensuring your display’s source is set to HDMI.

      If your Sceptre monitor displays a weak signal or the 'no program' symbol, ensure that the TV’s tuner signal is not lower than 65%. Change the direction of your antenna and rescan the channels.

    Why does switching channels change the volume on my Sceptre E165?
    • S
      Shawn HortonSep 15, 2025
      Switching channels or sources can change the volume on your Sceptre monitor because different channels and inputs may have inherently loud signals. The display has an AUTO VOLUME LEVEL function that can help manage this effect; ensure that this function is turned on.

    Why does my Sceptre E165 Monitor have pixels that are always displaying the same color?
    • A
      Ashley HolmesSep 12, 2025
      Your Sceptre monitor is manufactured with high precision technology; however, some pixels may not display correctly. Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not indicate a defective product.

      Kristin HendricksSep 14, 2025
      If there's a big black box in the middle of your Sceptre monitor screen, you've likely turned on closed captioning and are using TEXT1 – TEXT4. Change the setting to CC1 or turn off closed captioning to remove the box.
