Let’s again check if the input source is set correctly:

  1. Turn on your TV
  2. Press the Source or Input button on your remote control
  3. Select the desired input mode


Most cable boxes connect to the TV via HDMI 1 or HDMI 2. Do not connect the set-top box or cable box to HDMI ARC since this port only works with audio devices such as sound bars or home theatre systems.

Let’s try to soft reset your TV. To do this please unplug your TV from the wall and wait 60 seconds. While unplugged, press and hold the power button on the TV for 30 seconds. After the minute is up, plug your TV back in.
