Moved my technics from downstairs where they were working to my bedroom in the loft. When I re-connected everything the sound was way too low. Even the sound on the headphones is terrible. Currently have them connected to the speakers on my hi-fi which plays waaaaay louder when a cd is in but not when connected to my technics. I think I may have set them up wrong...can you help me?

TV signals are funny things. A signal that is perceived as being weak might not be at all because unless great care (and some luck) and some good materials are used longish cable runs can gather so much interference the tv set behaves as if the signal is weak.

A splitter will halve the signal.

Ideally a booster should be positioned close to the aerial so it is amplifying a cleaner signal and not amplifying interference. A masthead signal booster is the best option for a single or double downlead.
For a rooftop aerial and multiple downleads, first the aerial must be a high gain type in the frequency band used in your area. The shortest downlead possible would then feed into a signal booster (in the loft) with multiple outlets so each room or tv set has an exclusive downlead that hasn't been interfered with or split.

Each downlead should be low-loss double-wrapped coaxial cable with the best quality plugs you can find.

You might find it easier to obtain an exclusive aerial for your bedroom tv.

You could try replacing the aerial cable to your room with low-loss cable and get rid of the splitter and booster and replace with a quality booster with two outlets...

The pump must be cavitating or not priming.

find the Powell customer service number and call them for the manual

Hi,

Kindly read my tips and tricks regarding this problem. Here's the link: click here

Hope this helps.

have you tried an active booster/amplifier, indoor aerials are very bad on digital signals. the best way is to fit a booster in the loft and run a new cable into the room, but it may be difficult in shared accommodation, do it when every one is out :) hope this helps.

Hi Fiona
Somewhere along the line from the aerial there must be a signal splitter that feeds the upstair and downstair terminals.
Try to find that splitter and switch the output to see if the problem goes from up to downstair.
If it does switch then you know the problem is with the splitter block, and if it stays the same then the problem is with the cable and/or the connectors that run downstairs.
Also the reason you get a pixellated(snowy) picture is because of signal loss during the length of the cable you ran downstair.
If running a cable downstair becomes the best option to fix your problem , then you could buy a cheap 10db signal booster/r.f amplifier to correct the signal loss and a cable splitter to feed both tv`s
That booster would be installed upstair in your case(near the source of the signal to be amplified).
I could send you a small diagram if need be. Hope this will help and Merry Chrismas

Power supply is bad,,

You can try to unplug the main motherboard plug, then plug back in,, It should last as long as it stays pluged into the wall.

Keep it pluged in when you do this,,

i have a technika lcd26 207, the power button works and the light comes on, but i have no picture or no sound, just a complete blank, black screen. any suggestions please?

Try the main resets in the back by the a/v in and out jacks. If this does not work, call Sharp Customer Service and tell them that you already did the resets. There is a known problem with a heat dissipation pad for the onboard speakers and they will send a repair tech to replace the pad for free, even if you are out of warranty. At least that was the case with my LC-32D6U. My understanding is that a surround sound system would bypass the problematic part of the sound board which is why yours worked in your basement.

Yes you may trying chaing the channel to 11, because i have hear that chaning the channel will resolve this problem
