Troubleshooting
No 4K UHD or HDR Picture
If you are not receiving a 4K UHD or HDR signal from a compatible device, ensure that the 'Full UHD Color' setting is enabled for the specific HDMI input being used.

Check that the power cord is securely connected to both the TV and a working electrical outlet. Try plugging another device into the same outlet to confirm it has power. If the TV still does not power on, try a different outlet.
Remote Control Not Working
Ensure the batteries in the remote control are correctly inserted and are not depleted. Replace the batteries if necessary. Make sure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the TV's remote sensor.
