TROUBLE SHOOTING

issues, visit us at mts.ca/tvsupport or call 941-4545.
IF THERE’S NO SOUND OR AUDIO SIGNAL
If there’s no sound on a specific channel, please call

GENERAL MAINTENANCE OF YOUR HOME GATEWAY
Check to see that the opening on your Home Gateway is
not blocked. Do not place the Home Gateway on a rug or
bed as it may overheat. Do not stack equipment on top of
the Home Gateway. Maintain at least 2 inches of free space
above the Home Gateway. The Home Gateway should never
be placed near or on a heater or radiator. The Home
Gateway must be placed in an area with proper ventilation.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
NO PICTURE, BLUE OR BLACK SCREEN, SNOWY PICTURE,
DISTORTED OR FROZEN SCREEN.
1. Ensure your VCR is powered off.
2.
Ensure your TV is physically on channel 4, 8or 11,
whichever channel matches the number of your MTS TV
remote control (you can do this by using the channel up
and channel down buttons on the front of your TV or use
the original TV remote control).
3. Ensure all cables are connected and are tight to the TV,
VCR (if applicable) and Home Gateway.
4. Is there power to the Home Gateway? Green, yellow or
red lights on the front of the Home Gateway indicates
power. If there is no power, ensure the Home Gateway is
tightly plugged in at the back of the box and that the
plug is in a live electrical outlet.
