Issues	Solutions and Explanations
Flickering and Dimming	If your Samsung Television is flickering or dimming sporadically, you may need to disable some of its
	energy efficient features like the Eco Sensor or the Energy Saving feature. If you follow below step with your
	remote, you can turn these features off or on.
	• Energy saving: User Menu → System → Eco Solution → Energy Saving
	• Eco Sensor: User Menu → System → Eco Solution → Eco Sensor
Component Connections / Screen Color	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.
	• Self Diagnosis : User Menu → Support → Self Diagnosis → Picture Test
	If the test is ok, try making sure ;
	• 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.
	• 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.
Screen Brightness	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.
	• Backlight, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, Tint and so on.
	Go in to “Picture” on user Menu then try adjusting options mentioned above.
Auto Motion Plus / Blur	If you find that there is a blur or “ghostlike” appearance to the images on your television’s screen, you might
	be able to correct it by taking advantage of Auto Motion Plus.
	• Auto Motion Plus : User Menu → Picture → Picture Options → Auto Motion Plus
Unwanted Powering off	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.
	• 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.
	• No Signal Power Off : User Menu → System → Eco Solution → No Signal Power Off
	• Auto Power Off : User Menu → System → Eco Solution → Auto Power Off
Trouble Powering On	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.
	• 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.
Stand Assembly	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”.
Cannot find channel	Re-run plug and play. See page 10 for detail
