Solutions and Explanations
If your Samsung Television is flickering or dimming sporadically, you may need to disable some of the
energy efficiency features.
Disable Energy Saving (System > Eco Solution > Energy Saving) and check again.
If you find that the color on your Samsung television screen is not correct or the black and white colors
are off, run Self Diagnosis (Support > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test).
If the test results are negative, check the following: Are the TV's video input connectors connected to the
correct external device video output connectors?
Check other connections as well. If the TV is connected to an external device via a component cable,
check that the Pb, Pr, and Y jacks are plugged into their proper connectors.
If you find that the colors on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright, try adjusting
the following settings first.
Navigate to Picture and adjust Backlight, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, Tint (G/R) and
other picture quality adjustment settings.
If you find that there is a blur or "ghost" shadow to the images on your television screen, you might be
able to correct the issue using Auto Motion Plus (Picture > Picture Options > Auto Motion Plus).
If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, try disabling some of the TV's energy efficiency features.
Check if Sleep Timer (System > Time > Sleep Timer) has been enabled. Sleep Timer automatically
turns off the TV to save energy after a specified period of inactivity. If the Sleep Timer has not been
enabled, see if No Signal Power Off (System > Eco Solution > No Signal Power Off) or Auto Power
Off (System > Eco Solution > Auto Power Off) has been enabled.
When the TV is turned on, the remote control receiver flashes 5 times before the screen turns on.
If you find that you are having problems powering on your Samsung television, there are a number of
things to check before calling the service department.
If the power cord is connected properly and the remote control is operating normally, the problem might
be with the antenna cable connection or the cable/satellite box not being turned on. Check the antenna
connection or turn on the cable/satellite box.
If you have any trouble assembling the stand first, review Quick Start Guide.
Re-run Setup (Go to Menu > System > Setup) or run Auto Program. (Go to Menu > Broadcasting >
Auto Program).
