Issues

Solutions and Explanations

Flickering and Dimming

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 > Eco Sensor) and/

or Energy Saving (System > Eco Solution > Energy Saving) and check

again.

Screen Color

If you find that the color on your Samsung television screen is not correct or

the black and white colors are off, run a Self Diagnosis Picture Test (Support

> Self Diagnosis > Picture Test).
If the picture problem is caused by the TV, the problem should be visible in

the Picture Test. If the problem is not visible, next confirm that the TV's video

input ports are connected to the correct external video device output ports

and that none of the connections are loose. Finally, if possible, test your

external video devices by connecting them to another TV.

Screen Brightness

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.

Auto Motion Plus/Blur

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).

Unwanted Powering Off

If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, try disabling some of

the TV's energy efficiency and automatic off features. Check if Sleep

Timer (System > Time > Sleep Timer) has been enabled. Sleep Timer

automatically turns off the TV after an amount of time that you select. 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. No Signal Power Off turns

off the TV if no signal has been received by the TV for a specified period time.

Auto Power Off turns off the TV if there has been no user input in four hours.

Issues

Solutions and Explanations

Trouble Powering On

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.

Stand Assembly

If you have any trouble assembling the stand, review the stand assembly

instruction in the Quick Start Guide.
