● Confirm that the video input connectors are connected to the correct external device video
output connectors.
● Check the other connections as well. If the TV is connected to an external device via
a component cable, confirm that the Pb, Pr, and Y jacks are plugged into their proper
connectors.

the following settings first.
● Select Settings Picture Expert Settings and adjust the Backlight, Contrast,
Brightness, Sharpness, Color, or Tint (G/R) settings.

functions. See if Sleep Timer ( Settings General System Manager Time

Settings General Eco Solution Auto Power Off) has been enabled and disable it.
Problems Powering 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 or satellite box, confirm
that it is plugged in and turned on.
