How can I connect some device to my TV? - Televison & Video

If your APRO 19" LCD TV is displaying a "No input" message, it usually means that the TV is not receiving any signal from the connected source. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the input source: Ensure that the correct input source is selected on your TV. Use the TV remote or the buttons on the TV itself to cycle through the available input options (e.g., HDMI, VGA, AV, etc.). Make sure you select the input corresponding to the device you have connected (e.g., a cable box, DVD player, game console, etc.).
2. Verify the connection: Ensure that the cables connecting the TV to the input source are securely plugged in on both ends. If you are using HDMI, VGA, or AV cables, check that they are properly connected to both the TV and the source device. Also, make sure that the source device is powered on and transmitting a signal.
3. Try a different input/source: If you have multiple input sources available, try connecting a different device to the TV to see if it receives a signal. This will help determine if the issue is specific to a particular input or if it persists across different sources.
4. Test the source device: If possible, connect the source device to a different TV or display to confirm if it is outputting a signal properly. This will help isolate whether the issue lies with the TV or the source device.
5. Restart the TV and source device: Power off both the TV and the source device, unplug them from the power source, and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug them back in and power them on again. This can help reset any temporary issues that may be affecting the signal.
6. Factory reset the TV: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may consider performing a factory reset on your TV. Please note that a factory reset will erase any customized settings on the TV, so make sure to check the user manual or contact APRO customer support for instructions specific to your model.

If the problem persists after trying these troubleshooting steps, it may be best to contact APRO customer support or consult a qualified technician for further assistance. They will have more specific knowledge about your TV model and can provide further guidance or arrange for a repair if needed.

Hi,

bluetooth means that you'll be using a wireless connection.

You'll need t set the soundbar bluetooth connection on by first turning on the bluetooth connection within your Upstart 27 tv. Once the tv connection is on then you'll need to activate the bluetooth device search from your Bowfell and search for your tv in order to pair the 2 devices.

You might need to reference the soundbar manual to understand what unique buttons on your device to use to move forward with the strategies that I've listed above.

Thank you.

1. When you connect an external device to TV (without ARC) and Sound Bar, connect the HDMI cable (sold separately) from the external device to the TV. Then, connect the external device to the Sound bar using an optical cord (sold separately).
2. If you want to connect to just the TV, then the HDMI connection is unnecessary.
3. I myself find it just as good in not using the HDMI and just using the optical cord.
4. Take Care all best

Since you didn't give the model number or connection type (wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi), I'll start with the Ethernet setup, and I'm assuming you have not previously had the TV connected to the Internet.

First, disconnect power to the TV and the router. Power up the router first, and wait for it to establish its connection to the modem. Then connect the TV and turn it on, then test the connection. If that doesn't work, proceed to the next step below.

Review the Owner's Manual section on setting up the Internet connection. Check your router setup and make sure the TV is using the correct method for making connections to it, and that the router is not blocking the TV as an unauthorized device. By default, home routers are set up to use DHCP to automatically give IP addresses to anything connected, but many models permit setting them to block everything except devices specifically given permission. It is also possible to set up the router to use manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP; this would mean you have to give the TV an IP address in the same net as the router (the first three numbers in the set are the same, but the last must be between 0 and 255 and not the same as any other connected device. If the router locks out everything except specifically permitted devices, you will need to log into the router and add the TV's MAC address to the list of permitted devices (the MAC address should be on a label on the back of the TV).

If your TV uses Wi-Fi to make the Internet connection, first verify that you have adequate signal strength at the back of the TV (use a laptop computer or other device with a signal strength indicator if the TV itself does not display it in the Wi-Fi setup menu). Next, verify that the TV is using the same security protocol as the router, and that the password is correct. (Note: if you have a wireless router, it's always a good idea to make sure security is on and is not using the factory default password. This prevents freeloaders from stealing bandwidth and slowing down your connection, hacking your devices, or using your Internet connection for other ******* activity.)

UNPOWERED INPUT DEVICE

Check to make sure the device you're trying to use with your TV is plugged in and turned on. While it may seem like a silly oversight, it is possible that you switched on your TV and didn't actually turn on your DVD player, gaming console or whatever device you're trying to enjoy. If you tried to use a remote to turn on the device, check that the batteries still have a charge and turn on the device using its built-in power button.
TIP The problem may be your input device itself. Check your TV with other devices and see if it displays them properly. If it does, contact customer support for your device for more detailed troubleshooting instructions

WRONG INPUT CHANNEL

Make sure that your TV is on the right input channel for the device you're trying to use. When your TV isn't switched to the right channel, no visual or audio input from the device will display on your screen or through your speakers. Turn on the input device and press the Input button on your remote to cycle through your input channels until you see the device's display on your screen.

AV CONNECTION PROBLEMS

If you're on the right input channel and your device is turned on, there may be a problem with the physical connection between the device and your TV. Make sure that all cable connections are secure, and also that all cables are connected to the In ports on your TV and the Out ports on your input device. If you're using a connection that has color-coded plugs, make sure the connectors are inserted into their appropriate color-coded ports.
If you're using an HDMI connection, make sure that the cable you're using is compliant with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, especially if your TV and input device are both HDCP-enabled. HDCP is a copy protection system that prevents the copying of digital video and audio content as it travels over the connection. Systems connected with non-compliant cables won't display any video or audio conten

FROZEN TV

Periodically a TV may freeze up, showing that it's still turned on but not actually displaying any information from your input device or the TV's menu system. To fix a freeze, power cycling is the best solution. TEP 1 Turn off the TV by pressing and holding the Power button on the cabinet until the TV powers down.
STEP 2 Unplug the TV from the wall power outlet.
STEP 3 Press and hold the Power button on the cabinet for 30 seconds, and then release it.
STEP 4 Plug the TV back in and turn it back on using the Power button on the cabinet or your remote control.

HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE FAULT

If everything is correctly set up, powered on and on the right channel and you still aren't getting any picture or sound, there may be a hardware or software fault in your TV. The best way to check is to press the menu button on your TV or remote and see if the on-screen menu appears. If the menu doesn't appear, contact repair

Toshiba says:
If there is no sound from the TV try the following:

• Ensure the TV isn't muted.
• Check that the TV speakers have not been manually turned off in the menu settings. Refer to the User's Guide for your specific model TV.
• Ensure the input for the connected device (DVD / Blu-ray / Cable / Satellite / Game Console) is set properly on the TV. Click here for help with TV inputs.
• Check that the connected device audio settings are configured send sound through the audio input connected to on the TV. Refer to your device manufacturers instructions.
• Make sure the connected device does not require a separate audio connection to the TV

No, you do not have to have Cable TV in order to get the Netflix service. However, in order to watch Netflix you basically need to have an internet connection preferable of decent speed. You will also need a supported device that will let you watch Netflix.

The internet speed will ultimately determine whether you get quality video output on the device you intended to watch Netflix.

You can watch Netflix on your computer or you can use a device (generally now called a media device) that will allow for you to watch Netflix on your TV.

The Netflix app comes on many different media devices, which you essentially plug to you TV and connect to your home Internet connection.

Newer TV have the Netflix app built in to them as well as Internet. These TVs are referred to as Smart TV.

Right of the top of my head are the following Netflix capable devices Xbox 360, Roku, Wii...

Here are a list of other supported devices on Netflix's Website:

Hi
Audio Video input or [AV] input is meant for to connect the TV to any external device which has AV output. For example, you can connect the TV with a DVD/VCR/Blu-Ray/Amplifier etc. The audio video output of the connectig device has to connect to the audio video input of the TV with an audio video cable. This cable can be bought from most of the electronic sparepart shops. After connectin it such, you have to go to the input selection window of the TV and must select the input of the tV to Audio Video. No tuning or any other adjustment should be done then. Just play the connected device and see the its output by Tv. OK.

I understand that your TV is turning ON but you're not bale to view the videos on the TV screen. If the TV is connected to a wall outlet through a Surge protector please disconnect the connection through the Surge protector and try connecting the TV to a working wall outlet and check if that helps. Please check the connection between the TV and the connected device. Please try using a different device and check if that helps. This is to check whether the issue is with the TV or the connected device. Please try to explain the issue as much as you can next time. What are the video sources connected to the TV? Does this issue occur with the TV when connected to other devices? How did you connect the videos sources to the TV? Which connection are you using to connect the devices to the TV? You TV doesn't support 1080p resolution, so please check whether the connected device is giving output in 1080p resolution. If the issue still persists service of the TV is recommended.

Nothing appears on my LCD TV display

1 Ensure the LCD TV display is turned on.
2 Verify that all the cables are properly connected to the LCD TV
display, including the power cable.
3 Check to see if there is a blue or amber light on the lower,
right-hand corner of the LCD TV display. A blue light indicates
the LCD TV display is on. An amber light means the LCD TV
display is in power save mode.
4 Ensure the proper source is selected in the Input Select menu.
See "Input Select Menu" on page 24 for more information.
5 Reconnect any devices that are currently connected to the LCD
TV display. If you are using multiple devices, connect and test
one device at a time.
6 Connect another device that you know is working properly.
7 Reset the original factory defaults. Press Menu on the remote
control, select Setup, and then select Factory Reset.

Problem Possible Solution No sound

1 Ensure mute is not turned on. Pressing the Mute button on
the remote control turns the mute function on and off.
2 If only certain LCD TV channels do not have sound, then you
need to correct the Input Select menu in the TV Menu (see
"Input Select Menu" on page 24).
3 Verify that the audio cables are firmly connected to both the
audio input connectors on your LCD TV display and audio
output connectors on your devices. Ensure that the cable colors
match the connectors colors.
4 Also, ensure that the audio cables are connected to the same
row as the video cables. See "About Your LCD TV Display" on
page 5 for the location of the connectors.
5 Reconnect the device using the same type of connector. For
example, if you are using the composite connector on the
bottom, try connecting the device to the composite connector
on the side of the LCD TV display. See "About Your LCD TV
Display" on page 5 for the location of the connectors.
After you connect the device, change the input source in the TV
Menu. See "Input Select Menu" on page 24 for more
information.
6 Connect the device using a different connector. For example,
if you are experiencing the problem using a composite
connector, try using the component connector.
NOTE: To connect to a different connector, you need the
appropriate cables for that connector. See your device
documentation for a list of supported connections.
After you connect the device, change the input source in the TV
Menu. See "Input Select Menu" on page 24 for more
information.
7 Test the device on a different TV.
