There is something
wrong with the TV.
Try this!
Unwanted Powering Off
If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, try disabling some of the TV's
energy efficiency features. See if
Sleep Timer
(
System
>
Time
>
Sleep Timer
) has
been enabled. The
Sleep Timer
automatically turns the TV off after a specified period
of time. If the Sleep Timer has not been enabled, see if
No Signal Power Off
(
System
>
Eco Solution
>
No Signal Power Off
) or
Auto Power Off
(
System
>
Eco Solution
>
Auto Power Off
) has been enabled and disable them.
Problems Powering On
When the TV is turned on, the remote control receiver flashes 5 times before the
screen turns on.
If you are having problems powering on your Samsung television, there are a number
of things to check before calling the service department. Confirm that the TV's power
cord is connected correctly at both ends and that the remote control is operating
normally. Make sure that the antenna cable or cable TV cable is firmly connected. If
you have a cable/satellite box confirm that it is plugged in and turned on.
Unable to find a Channel
If your TV is not connected to a cable box or satellite box, run
Setup
(
System
>
Setup
) or
Auto Program
(
Broadcasting
>
Auto Program
).
The TV image does not
look as good as it did in
the store.
Store displays are all tuned to digital, HD (high definition) channels.
If you have an analog cable/set top box, upgrade to a digital set top box. Use HDMI
or Component cables to deliver HD (high definition) picture quality.
Many HD channels are upscaled from SD (Standard Definition) content. Look for a
channel that is broadcasting true HD content.
●
Cable/Satellite Subscribers: Try HD channels from the channel lineup.
●
Air/Cable Antenna Connection: Try HD channels after running the Auto Program
function.
Adjust the cable/satellite box's video output resolution to 1080i or 720p.
The picture is distorted.
The compression of video content may cause picture distortions, especially in fast
moving pictures from sports programs and action movies.
A weak or bad quality signal can cause picture distortions. This is not an issue with
the TV.
Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 3 ft/1m) may cause noise in analog and
digital channels.
The color is wrong or
missing.
If you’re using a Component connection, make sure that the Component cables are
connected to the correct jacks. Incorrect or loose connections may cause color
problems or a blank screen.
The color is poor or
the picture is not bright
enough.
Go to the
Picture
menu and then adjust the
Picture Mode
,
Brightness
,
Sharpness
, and
Color
settings.
See if
Energy Saving
(
System
>
Eco Solution
>
Energy Saving
) has been enabled.
Try resetting the picture. (

There is a dotted line on
the edge of the screen.
If the
Picture Size
has been set to
Screen Fit
, change the setting to
16:9
.
Change the cable/satellite box resolution.
The picture is black and
white.
If you are using AV composite input, connect the video cable (yellow) to the TV's
green component jack.
