Q: Why is there no audio with picture?
You can see a picture from your DIRECTV
®
Receiver, but there is no sound.
Possible Causes:
A setting (such as mute or volume) may have changed on the Receiver or your TV.
The cables between your TV and the Receiver may not be connected properly, or there may be a problem with an external
stereo or surround sound system.
Verify that your surround sound system is working, if applicable.
Your TV may not support the selected HD resolution from your Receiver.
Solution:
Verify that the MUTE button is not activated on your Remote.
Raise or lower the volume. Did volume meter display on TV?
Test sound on your TV by changing the input to another source, such as a DVD player, game box, or antenna.
If connected to stereo or surround sound system, verify components are on and set to the correct mode, and that audio
cables are secure and connected correctly.
