      If your Toshiba DVR shows no picture or a distorted picture, ensure the unit is switched on and the aerial is correctly connected. Check all connections between the unit and your TV. Also, verify that your TV is displaying the correct AV input. You can also check the signal strength. Powering your TV off and then on at the mains supply may also resolve the issue.

      If there is no sound from your Toshiba DVR, first check if the TV is muted. Ensure the aerial is correctly connected to the unit and verify all connections between the unit and your TV, Hi-Fi, or Surround Sound System. If the signal is weak, this can also cause a lack of sound. Try powering your TV off and then on at the mains.
