Troubleshooting

Solutions and Explanations
If your Samsung Television is flickering or dimming sporadically, you may need to disable
some of its energy efficient features like the Energy Saving feature. If you follow below step
with your remote, you can turn these features off or on.
y Energy saving: User Menu → System → Eco Solution → Energy Saving
If you find that the color on your Samsung television's screen is not correct or black and
White, first run a Self Diagnosis on the TV to make sure there are no device issues.
y Self Diagnosis : User Menu → Support → Self Diagnosis → Picture Test
If the test is ok, try making sure ;
y Your connections are all consistent. For example, if you've used the AV In jack on your TV,
make sure you have used the AV Out jack on your video source.
y Try making sure you have connected to the correct jacks.
For example, if you use the Component jacks, labeled Pb, Pr, and Y, to connect your TV and
video source, make sure you have connected the blue Pb jack on the video source to the blue
Pb jack on the TV, the red Pr jack on the source to the red Pr jack on the TV.
If you find that the colors on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright,
there are some settings you should check before calling for a repair.
y Backlight, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, Tint and so on.
Go in to "Picture" on user Menu then try adjusting options mentioned above.
If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, there may be an issue with either your Timer
settings or your Eco friendly No Signal Power Off feature.
First make sure you Sleep Timer is not accidentally set. The sleep timer allows you the comfort
of falling asleep with the TV still on but, turns it off after a certain period of time so as not to
waste energy.
y Sleep Timer : User Menu → System → Time → Sleep Timer
If the Sleep Timer is not activated, you may have engaged the No Signal Power Off or Auto
Power Off feature.
y No Signal Power Off : User Menu → System → Eco Solution → No Signal Power Off
y Auto Power Off : User Menu → System → Eco Solution → Auto Power Off
Before Turn on check red light on the right or left bottom of your TV. Press power on
button on TV or remote and it will blink about 5 times before turning on.
If you find that you are having trouble powering on your Samsung television, there are a
number of things to check before making a call to the service department.
y If you happen to be using the TV as a monitor and the stand-by light only blinks for a few seconds
when you press the power button, your PC is in sleep mode. To take your PC out of sleep mode,
press a key on your keyboard or move the mouse. Then try turning your TV on.
If you're sure your power cord, remote control, and PC are functioning properly, you may be
having a cable issue. If you have a cable or satellite box, your TV may appear to be off because
the cable or satellite box is not outputting a signal. To test the signal output of your cable or
satellite box, press the guide or info button on the cable or satellite box remote control. If the
screen displays the guide or info data, the problem is caused by the box.
If you have any trouble to assemble the stand though you refer to "Install the Stand"
mentioned at this manual, visit www.samsung.com/spsn then check "2011 Stand Assembly"
on "Top 7 TV Troubleshooting Tips".
