Incorrect cable connections and video inputs can cause your Samsung problems.
Although many rely on the help of a professional to make repairs on their Samsung Projection TV, many times the television's woes result from either improper cable connections or incorrect video input settings. You can handle the troubleshooting and repair of such problems on your TV within your own home, even if you lack any prior Samsung repair experience. No special tools will be needed and you can avoid opening your wallet for costly repairs.
Instructions
1. Check your Samsung Projection TV's power cable. Sometimes, the simplest possible problem is what's ailing your television, so eliminate this possibility first.
2. Check the connections you made with your audio/video cables. The cables and connections used vary depending on your exact model of Samsung Projection TV. If your TV is equipped with an HDMI port and you are using an HDMI cable for the video connection, make sure the square black HDMI cord is properly plugged into the "HDMI" port on the rear of the Samsung and also into the "HDMI" port on the back of your cable or satellite device.
3. Check your component video connection for your Samsung in the event you aren't using a HDMI cable connection. Components video cables feature dual sets of prongs, one on each end of the cable, and each set consists of one red, one green and one blue prong. One set of these prongs needs to be snugly plugged into the matching colored red, green and blue ports on the back of the cable or satellite receiver, and the other set of prongs must be plugged into the matching set of ports on the back of the Samsung. Incorrect prong-to-port connections can result in a lack of sound and/or video on your Samsung.
4. Attempt to switch your video input if everything checks out properly with your cable connections. Use the "Input" or "Video Input" button on your Samsung Projection TV in order to cycle through your inputs. Every time you use a DVD player or game system, you have to switch your video input in order to operate the device, so it's possible that you simply forgot to switch back to the input that governs your TV.
5. Check the Samsung's audio connection if, after your input adjustments, the Samsung still lacks audio. The audio cable has only a white and red prong on each of the cable's ends. As with the other cables, make sure the audio cable's prongs are properly plugged into the matching white and red ports on the backside of the cable/satellite receiver and the back of the TV.
