Switch the input channel, using the channel selector on the back of your K-World game box. If the distortion is present on the next channel, then the problem is the game box. Hit the reset button, if your unit includes one. If your unit doesn't have a reset button, then you will need to perform a manual power-cycle.

Check that the antennas are securely connected to the antenna ports on the receiver and transmitter unit, if you're a wireless K-World PC to TV set. A poor connection or bad reception can cause color bars and distortion. Adjust the antennas or move the two units closer to each other for better reception.
