Neo TV is designed to simplify your entertainment experience by turning on automatically when your main television powers on, leveraging its optical cable connection.
Automatic Power-On Functionality
Your Neo TV is engineered to power on and off in sync with your primary television. This seamless integration means there isn't a separate "on" switch for Neo TV; its operational status directly mirrors that of your TV. This convenient feature relies entirely on the proper functioning and signal presence through its optical cable connection.
The Critical Role of the Optical Cable
The optical cable is the central component that facilitates the automatic power synchronization between your TV and Neo TV. It transmits the necessary digital audio signal that also informs Neo TV when your television is active, prompting it to turn on. For this system to work correctly, a consistent and active optical signal must be present.
How to Verify the Optical Signal
If your Neo TV isn't turning on automatically with your television, the first step is to confirm that the optical signal is correctly being transmitted. This quick check can help diagnose connectivity issues:
- Locate the Optical Cable: Identify the optical audio cable connected between your TV and Neo TV.
- Check for Red Light: Carefully disconnect one end of the optical cable (either from the TV or Neo TV). Look directly at the end of the cable.
- If you see a red light: This indicates that the optical signal is present, and the cable is correctly set up to transmit audio. The issue might lie elsewhere, but the optical signal itself is functional.
- If you do not see a red light: This suggests that the optical signal is not being transmitted. This could be due to the cable being improperly connected, a faulty cable, or incorrect audio output settings on your television. Without this signal, Neo TV will not receive the command to turn on.
Troubleshooting Tip: Ensure the optical cable is firmly seated in both the TV's optical output port and Neo TV's optical input port. Also, check your TV's audio settings to confirm that the optical output is enabled and set to a suitable format (e.g., PCM).
