Troubleshooting

TV won't turn on

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and a working electrical outlet. Try a different outlet or reset your circuit breaker. Ensure the remote batteries are not dead.

No picture, but sound is present

Verify the correct input source is selected on the TV. Press the 'Input' or 'Source' button on your remote to cycle through HDMI inputs. Check all cable connections to external devices.

Poor or blurry picture quality

Ensure your content source is 4K. Check the picture settings on your TV (e.g., Picture Mode, Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness) and adjust to your preference. If using an antenna, check antenna connection and signal strength. For streaming, ensure a stable internet connection.

No sound or low volume

Check the TV's volume level and ensure it's not muted. If using external audio devices (soundbar, receiver), check their volume and input settings. Confirm audio cables (HDMI ARC/eARC, Optical) are securely connected.

Google TV apps are slow or unresponsive

Check your internet connection speed. Restart the TV by unplugging it from the wall for 60 seconds and plugging it back in. Clear cache for specific problematic apps via the TV settings: Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Clear cache. Consider a factory reset if issues persist (Note: this will erase all personal settings).
