  • Make sure the cable is well connected
  • To check which connection is selected, press the AV button on the remote control

1) When you see Blue mute / blank screen and the display does not indicate any video resolution this is an indication that there is no valid signal detected.

  • Make sure the HDMI output of the accessory is on and a signal is valid resolution by changing the video output resolution to one which the TV can handle

2) When you see a blank screen and the display shows a video resolution indication then the connection is correct.

  • The blank screen is caused by the accessory device and not by the TV
  • To detect and remedy the problem caused by the accessory device, check the instruction manual of this device

3) If the problem remains : reselect the HDMI input by changing to another HDMI input and back to the connected one :

  • Press AV on the remote
  • Press up and then ok
  • Press AV again
  • Press down and ok
  • The compatibility check process between TV and accessory device will start over again

4) Reset (switch off and back on) the TV and also reset the accessory device.
