If none of these troubleshooting tips apply, call Samsung customer service at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

 button. /  

Make sure the TV is plugged in. / Check the antenna connections.

No sound or sound is too low at maximum 

volume.

First, check the volume of units connected to your TV (digital broadcasting  

receiver, DVD, cable broadcasting receiver, VCR, etc.). Then, adjust the TV 

volume accordingly.

Picture rolls vertically.

Check all wire connections.

The TV operates erratically.

Unplug the TV for 30 seconds, then try operating it again.

The TV won’t turn on.

Make sure the wall outlet is working.

Remote control malfunctions

Replace the remote control batteries.

Clean the upper edge of the remote control (transmission window).

Check the battery terminals.

“Check signal cable” message.

Ensure that the signal cable is firmly connected to the PC source.

Check the maximum resolution and connected device’s Video frequency.

Compare these values with the data in the Display Modes.

Please check the digital signal strength and input antenna.

The image is too light or too dark.

Adjust the Brightness and Contrast. / Adjust the Fine tuning.

Black bars on the screen.

Make sure the broadcast you’re receiving is High Definition (HD).

HD channels sometimes broadcast Standard Definition (SD) programming, which 

can cause black bars.

Set your cable/satellite box to stretch or widescreen mode to eliminate the bars.

Picture has a Red/Green or Pink tint.

Make sure the Component cables are connected to the correct jacks.

Closed Captioning not working.

If you are using a Cable/Satellite box, you must set Closed Captioning on the box, 

not your TV.

Snowy picture.

Your cable box may need a firmware upgrade. Please contact your Cable 

 

company.

Ghosting on picture

This is sometimes caused by compatibility issues with your cable box. 

Try connecting Component cables instead.

Horizontal bars appear to flicker, jitter or 

shimmer on the image.

Adjust the Coarse tuning and then adjust the Fine tuning.

Vertical bars appear to flicker, jitter or 

shimmer on the image.

Adjust the Coarse tuning and then adjust the Fine tuning.

blinks steadily.

On your computer check: Power, Signal Cable.

The TV is using its power management system.

Move the computer's mouse or press any key on the keyboard.

Image is not centered on the screen.

Adjust the horizontal and vertical position.

The screen position must be adjusted on the output source (i.e. STB) with a 

digital signal.

The picture appears distorted in the 

corner of the screen.

If "Just Scan" is selected with some external devices, the picture may appear 

distorted in the corner of the screen. This symptom is caused by the external 

devices, not TV.

The "Resets all settings to the default 

values" message appears.

This appears when you press and hold the 

EXIT

 button for a while. The product 

settings are reset to the factory defaults.
