Power automatically turns off and picture is all pink

Check your antenna is plugged in the right place.
Switch TV on then goto it's menu setting, if the menu appears then at least you know the screen works.
As a test, plug in a DVD player to one of the HDMI ports and try to play something. Make sure you select the proper input source from the source menu and see if you get a picture.
If you do then it narrows the problem down.
Next, from the menu, select TV source to see if picture comes.
There are a number of other sequences depending on what decoder or Viewer box you have, if it's just Freeview antenna then you may have a problem with that.
Make sure you've done the auto tune procedures too.....

do you have the correct "input" or "source" selected? assuming you are using HDMI connectors, when you hit the source button on your remote, make sure you have the correct HDMI selected. Usually, an HDMI corresponds to a "cable box"; or a Blu-Ray player; etc..

If TV menu comes on try another source via hdmi could be a source issue with hdcp or copy guard issues. Sound isn't copy guarded but picture is.

Hi nikkicollier,
PiP for your TV works between two different sources. This means between a component source and an HDMI source or between an HDMI source and another HDMI source. PiP also works with a PC connection, e.g. when using the TV as a computer display. PiP does not work between two component sources. The setting will be grayed out when you don't have a configuration that is supported, as the Samsung TV's are usually able to automatically detect which sources are plugged in and available.


I'm not exactly sure what sort of configuration you want your PiP to work in, but try one of the following configurations.

• TV Cable (through VCR or other via Component input) with Satellite in PiP (via HDMI input)
• PS3 (via HDMI Input) with Satellite in PiP (via Component Input)
• Wii via HDMI Input) with PS3 in PiP (via HDMI Input)

You can usually find an HDMI cable for much cheaper at an electronics supplies shop, Radio Shack, or on eBay or Gumtree.
To change your PiP settings:

1. Press the MENU button on the remote control. Select Picture and press Enter.
2. Select PIP and press Enter.
3. Press the enter button again, and press up or down to change the setting to On and press enter again.
   Note: If PIP is activated the screen will display in widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio.)
4. Press the up or down buttons to select the Source then press the Enter button.
   Select the source of the sub-picture by pressing the up and down arrows and then pressing the Enter button.
   Note: The sub-picture can serve different source selections based on the what the main source is set to.
   Note: You may notice that the picture in the PIP window becomes slightly unnatural when you use the main screen to view a game or karaoke.

You can download the full PDF manual for your TV here (large download at 26MB.) Much of the PIP information can be found on pages 13 and 14.
Good luck, I hope that helps.

The manual is telling you that your "source", whatever you are connecting to a particular HDMI port, needs to be turned-on in order for the TV to detect it. Make sure that the HDMI cable plugged into the correct HDMI port for each device (TV & cable box) and that the cable box is on. Does the cable box HDMI port need to be selected in order for it to be functional or is it on all of the time? Check your cable box instruction manual for details on the proper way to enable (turn-on) or disable the various outputs if needed.

Let me know if you need additional info.

Hello. I may be able to assist you. If you are using a direct cable connection from the wall outlet;

• Check the incoming cable or antenna signal connection to ensure that it is properly secured to the TV's antenna input.
• If the connection is good, perform the automatic installation again to search for all available channels.

If you are using a coaxial connection from the Cable or Satellite box to the TV;

• Set the TV to the channel specified by the service provider.
• Change the channels at the Cable or Satellite box to view the program.

If you are using a video connection (CVBS, S-Video, YPbPr, HDMI) from the source (DVD, Cable or Satellite box) to the TV;

• You do not need to perform automatic installation to search for the channels.
• Press the 'SOURCE' button on the remote control repeatedly to select the correct input source.

If you are using an HDMI connection from the source (DVD, Cable or Satellite box) to the TV;

1. Reset the TV and source by unplugging it from the power outlet for 30 seconds.
2. Turn on the TV and press the play button on your source device. If the source is HDMI CEC compliant, the TV will automatically switch to the HDMI input.
3. If your source is not HDMI CEC compliant, turn on the TV and switch to the HDMI input.
4. Turn on your source.

If you are sure you have selected the correct input or channel but still have no picture or sound;

• Try resetting the TV by unplugging it from the power outlet for 30 seconds.
• Press the 'SOURCE' button to select the correct input source.
• Check the connection cables.
• Try the connected source with another TV.
• Connect a different source on the same connection of your TV.

You have not set the port on the back of the projector settings.

Go into the projector menu and go into the IMAGE area. Somewhere in here you should be able to select computer.

On mine the indicator light is indicating that it is in STANDBY mode, which means it is OFF. Press the button again, which will turn off the light and now the tv is ON. Now merely press(possibly multiple times) SOURCE to find the correct source for your Cable/SAT and your good to go.

Try the following first:

If you are using a direct cable connection from the wall outlet;

1. Check the incoming cable or antenna signal connection to ensure that it is properly secured to the TV's antenna input.
2. If the connection is good, perform the auto program and ensure that the Installation mode (Antenna or Cable) is selected correctly.

If you are using a coaxial connection from the Cable or Satellite box to the TV;

1. Set the TV to the channel specified by the service provider.
2. Change the channels at the Cable or Satellite box to view the program.

If you are using a video connection (CVBS, S-Video, YPbPr, HDMI) from the source (DVD, Cable or Satellite box) to the TV;

1. You do not need to perform auto program to search for the channels.
2. Press the 'SOURCE' button on the remote control repeatedly to select the correct input source.

If you are using an HDMI connection from the source (DVD, Cable or Satellite box) to the TV;

1. Reset the TV and source by unplugging it from the power outlet for 30 seconds.
2. Press the play button on your source device. If the source is HDMI CEC compliant, the TV will automatically switch to the HDMI input.
3. If your source is not HDMI CEC compliant, turn on the TV and switch to the HDMI input.
4. Turn on your source.

If you are sure you have selected the correct input or channel but still have no picture and sound;

1. Try resetting the TV by unplugging it from the power outlet for 30 seconds.
2. Press the 'SOURCE' button to select the correct input source.

You can try the "Whack" method first though..Just smack or whack the set with your hand or fist around the cabinet to see if that will either aggravate or restore the picture. If so, it means there is a loose connection or cold solder joint of some kind, which you may be able to repair yourself if you have the soldering skills.

If it still does not work, it looks like there is a problem with the vertical blanking due to faulty ribbon connectors, although there are several things that can cause it.
But in my honest opinion, it is best to have an expert technician come in and do some tests on it in order to diagnose the root cause of the issue. It is not easy to fix this yourself, if you have no experience, as there are a lot of parts that have to be removed before you can reach the components. It could be as simple as a loose connector ribbon or a bust capacitor, but it could also be more complicated. Hence, in my honest opinion, better get a qualified technician.

Hope that helps!
