If your TV went to the wrong input channel when you turned it back on:

• Some converters have an additional electrical plug for your TV or other device
   
• Setting it to the wrong mode could cause this to happen

• If you are not sure which set of instructions to use below, check the User Interface on your TV


• Click here to discover your User Interface
