TROUBLESHOOTING

Picture Issues

Testing the picture

Sound and Noise Issues

Testing the sound

The problem	Try this!
How can I connect an audio device to the TV?	The connection method may differ depending on the audio device, such as HDMI (eARC), Optical, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. For more information about how to connect an audio device, run Connection Guide.
There is no sound or the sound is too low at maximum volume.	Check the volume control of your TV, and then check the volume control of the external device (cable box or satellite box, DVD, Blu-ray, etc.) connected to your TV. Check the cable connection between an external device and the TV and then try cable connection again.
The picture is good but there is no sound.	Set Sound Output to TV Speaker. If you are using an external device, check the device's audio output option. For example, you may need to change your cable box's audio option to HDMI if the box connected to your TV is using an HDMI cable. To listen to computer sound, connect an external speaker to the computer's audio output connector. If your TV has a headphone jack, make sure there is nothing plugged into it. Reboot the connected device by disconnecting and then reconnecting the device's power cable. With a set-top box or cable box, check the cable connection and reboot the external device. When the symptom persists, contact your service provider.
No sound is heard.	Check whether Digital Output Audio Format is set to Pass-Through. If you select the Pass-Through option to use an AV receiver that does not support Dolby Digital+, no sound is output with Dolby Digital+ content. It is recommended to set Digital Output Audio Format to Auto when the connected receiver supports only the limited audio formats.
The speakers are making an odd sound.	Run Sound Test. Make sure that the audio cable is connected to the correct audio output connector on the external device. For antenna or cable connections, check the Signal Information. A low signal level may cause sound distortions.
The sound is interrupted.	The sound may frequently be interrupted when a Bluetooth speaker is used. Make sure that the Bluetooth speaker and the wireless access point are on a straight line, and the Bluetooth speaker is placed as close as possible to the TV. To minimize interruptions, we recommend a wireless access point that uses a 5 GHz frequency. When the symptom persists, it is recommended to use wired connection such as HDMI eARC and Optical.
Whenever a function is used on the TV or the channel is changed, the TV voices the activity. The TV explains in voice-over the video scenes displayed on the screen.	Turn off the Voice Guide function in Voice Guide Settings.
The TV audio is not being played through the AV receiver.	Check the A/V receiver's power supply and its settings. When connecting the optical cable between the TV and A/V receiver, make sure that the sound output is set Optical on your TV. In case of HDMI eARC connection, make sure that it is connected to the eARC dedicated HDMI port on your TV. However, the eARC can be used only when the A/V receiver supports the eARC feature.
The sound is not heard clearly.	Change to an appropriate sound mode. When Intelligent Mode and Adaptive Sound+ are turned on, the sound effects are automatically adjusted to the surroundings. To optimise the sound depending on the surroundings, select Adaptive Sound+.
The volume of the external device cannot be adjusted.	Check the cable connection between the TV and the external device. When connecting an external speaker such as home theater via HDMI, make sure it is connected to the HDMI (eARC) port on the TV. Make sure that the Settings > General > External Device Manager > Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) is active on your TV.
I want to turn off and on the TV and audio device at the same time.	When you connect the Samsung Soundbar to the TV via Bluetooth, the power turns off and on together. It may not be supported depending on the Samsung Soundbar model. When you connect an audio device that supports HDMI eARC to the HDMI (eARC) port on the TV, the power turns off and on together.

Channel and Broadcast Issues

When the TV has difficulties receiving broadcasts, these steps may help resolve the problem

External Device Connectivity Issues

When the TV has difficulties connecting to external devices such as a PC, game console, or mobile device, these steps may help resolve the problem.

The problem	Try this!
The "Mode Not Supported" message appears.	Adjust the output resolution of the external device to a resolution supported by the TV.
The video is OK but there is no audio.	If you are using an HDMI connection, check the audio output setting on your PC. If you are using a DVI to HDMI cable, a separate audio cable is required. To listen to the computer sound, connect external speakers to the audio output connection of the computer.
I want to connect to a PC and mobile device via screen mirroring.	To wirelessly connect the TV to your PC, read the instructions at PC > Screen Sharing (Wireless) in Connection Guide, and then try to connect. Confirm that the TV and your PC are connected to the same network. To wirelessly connect the TV to your mobile device, read the instructions at Smartphone > Screen Sharing (Smart View) in Connection Guide, and then try to connect. If the TV has difficulties connecting to your PC or mobile device due to surrounding radio interferences, change the frequency of the wireless access band, and then try to connect.
No screen appears when connecting the TV to an external device.	For more information about how to connect an external device, run Connection Guide. Make sure that the external device is connected securely and turned on. Move to Sources to switch to other input sources. Using HDMI Troubleshooting, you can check the connection to HDMI cable and external devices (takes approximately 2 minutes). When using a set-top box or cable box, check the broadcast signals or the network that is connected to the external device.
I want to connect to a Bluetooth speaker.
The PC screen does not appear or it flickers.	When the PC screen does not appear or the PC is not recognised, check the power supply of the PC and then reconnect the HDMI cable between the PC and TV. When the symptom persists, check that the PC is in Sleep mode, and then set Input Signal Plus to On. When the set resolution is not matched, the screen may flicker. For the PC supported resolution, see 'Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported Resolutions).'
