Issues Solutions and Explanations
The picture will not display in full
screen.
• HD channels will have black bars on either side of the screen when displaying up scaled
SD (4:3) contents.
• Black bars will appear on the top and bottom of the screen when you watch movies that
have aspect ratios different from your TV.
• Adjust the picture size option on your external device or change the TV to full screen.
Image Retention (Burn In) Issue. • To minimize the possibility of screen burn, this unit is equipped with Pixel Shift screen burn
reduction technology. Pixel Shift lets you set the picture so it moves slightly up and down
(Vertical Line) and side to side (Horizontal Dot). The regular, slight movement of the picture
reduces screen burn in.
The remote control does not work. • Replace the remote control batteries. Make sure you insert them with the plus and minus
ends in the correct direction.
• Clean the transmission window located on the top of the remote control.
• Try pointing the remote control directly at the TV from 5~6 feet away.
The cable/set top box remote control
does not turn the TV on or off, or
adjust the volume.
• Program the Cable/Set top box remote control to operate the TV. Refer to the Cable/Set
top box user manual for the SAMSUNG TV code.
A “Mode Not Supported” message
appears.
• Check the supported resolution of the TV and adjust the external device’s output resolution
accordingly. Refer to resolution settings in this manual.

SOURCE button to select TV mode, and go to MENU → Support → Use Mode.
You have intermittent loss of audio
or video.
• Check the cable connections and reconnect them.
• Loss of audio or video can be caused by using overly rigid or thick cables. Make sure the
cables are flexible enough for long term use. If mounting the TV to the wall, we recommend
using cables with 90 degree connectors.
The PIP menu is not available. • PIP functionality is only available when you are using an HDMI or Component source.
You see small particles when you
look closely at the edge of the frame
of the TV.
• This is part of the product’s design and is not a defect.
The POP (the TV’s internal banner ad)
appears on the screen.
• Go to MENU → Support → Use Mode, and then select Home Use.
The message “This file may not be
played properly.” appears.
• This may appear because the content has a high bit rate. The content generally will play,
