7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TV, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| No power / TV does not turn on | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the TV and the wall outlet. Try a different outlet. Ensure the remote control batteries are not depleted. |
| No picture / Poor picture quality | Check input source selection. Ensure all cables (HDMI, AV, Antenna) are securely connected. Adjust picture settings in the TV menu. For external devices, check their output settings. |
| No sound / Poor sound quality | Check volume level and mute status. Ensure external audio devices are properly connected and powered on. Adjust sound settings in the TV menu. |
| Remote control not working | Replace batteries. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's IR sensor. Re-pair the voice remote if necessary (refer to Android TV setup). |
| Android TV apps crashing or freezing | Ensure the TV's software is up to date. Clear the cache for the problematic app (Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Clear Cache). Reinstall the app if the issue persists. Restart the TV. |
| TV turns on randomly | This can sometimes occur if connected devices (e.g., Roku) update or send signals. To fully power off the TV, press and hold the Power button on the remote for approximately 3 seconds until a power-off prompt appears, then confirm. This puts the TV into a deeper sleep state. |
| Wi-Fi connection issues | Restart your router and modem. Check TV network settings. Ensure the TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Try a wired LAN connection if possible. |
