Why does my Sceptre UMS have picture but no sound?
If your Sceptre LCD TV shows picture but no audio, ensure the audio cable is connected and readjust the volume using the remote control. Also, the display’s tuner signal must not be lower than 65%.
How to fix no picture on Sceptre LCD TV?
If your Sceptre LCD TV displays no picture, ensure the power cord is correctly connected and the power is turned on. Also, verify that the video cable is properly connected and select the correct input signal source using the source button, ensuring it matches the cable connection.
What to do if Sceptre UMS LCD TV remote control does not work?
If the remote control for your Sceptre LCD TV isn't working, turn off the display and unplug it. Remove the batteries from the remote for 30 seconds, press the remote buttons and the power button randomly for a couple of seconds, then reinstall the batteries. Also, make sure there is a clear line of sight from the remote control’s front sensor to the remote sensor on the display.
How to get more channels on Sceptre LCD TV?
If you cannot receive enough channels through the ATSC/NTSC tuner on your Sceptre LCD TV, change the direction of your antenna and rescan for channels. If you have cable, contact your cable company to inquire about the signal strength of your local cable.
Why does volume change when switching channels on Sceptre UMS?
If switching a channel or source changes the volume on your Sceptre LCD TV, different channels and inputs sometimes have this effect because the channel signal’s own volume is already loud. There is no way to remove this completely, but the display has an AUTO VOLUME LEVEL function that can help. Make sure that function is turned on.
How to set time on Sceptre UMS LCD TV?
If you cannot manually change the time on your Sceptre LCD TV, your display syncs time automatically according to your local TV channel. This function only works while the display’s tuner is connected to an ANTENNA.
Why does my Sceptre UMS LCD TV have dead pixels?
If your Sceptre LCD TV picture has pixels that are always displaying the same color, your display is manufactured using high precision technology, but sometimes some pixels may not display correctly. Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not mean the product is defective.
Why can't my Sceptre UMS LCD TV find digital cable channels?
If you have digital cable and after scanning for channels on your Sceptre LCD TV you got nothing, this display does not support QAM. You’ll need a cable box for the display to work. Ensure you have an HDMI cable connected to both the cable box and the display, then turn on both devices and ensure your display’s source is set to HDMI.
How to unblock channels on Sceptre UMS?
If your Sceptre LCD TV channels are blocked, check your auto lock function’s settings inside the OSD. You may have locked some channels and forgotten about them.
