If you are at TV1, where the receiver box is located, the tv needs to be on channel 3 or 4. Depending on the cable that is running between the receiver and the tv, the tv may need to be on an input, such as video 1 or 2. If you are at the TV2 location, where there is no receiver, then the tv needs to be on channel 60 or 73.
If you are using an HDMI cable between the TV and the receiver, then the TV will need to be on an HDMI input

If you are using Component cables(Green, Red, Blue), your TV will need to be on a component input. (Usually Comp 1 or 2)

If you are using RCA 9Red, white, yellow) cables, then the TV will need to be on a VIDEO input (Usually Video 1 or 2)

If you are using COAX cables, then the tv needs to be on channel 3 or 4 (If you are at TV2, then the TV needs to be on channel 60 or 73)
