Problems with HDMI/DVI Connection

Make sure the HDMI or DVI device is turned on and the cables are firmly connected. If problems still occur, turn off your device. Re-connect your device. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in.

If you are tuned to the HDMI/DVI input and you’re receiving Unusable Signal message on-screen, press the INFO button on the remote. If Acquiring Channel appears in the channel banner, the HDMI or DVI device isn’t responding. Contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI device for further assistance.

If you tune to the HDMI/DVI input and you see snow, the video goes in and out, or the video takes a long time to appear, your HDMI or DVI device is having trouble sending video information to the TV. Re-connect your device. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in. If problems persist, try connecting the Y Pb Pr jacks instead if they are available or contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI device for further assistance.

If you have black bars on each side of your picture, the device you connected might have a switch or a menu option allowing you to change the picture quality output that will fix this. Choose either 720p or 1080i.

480i signals aren’t supported by the HDMI/DVI input.
