After a lengthy day at work, when you settle down in front of your Television set to catch up with your favorite shows, you may discover that your television is causing trouble.

To avoid such situations, we have listed the most general problems with television and a few solutions to save you from the hassle of contacting a Samsung LED TV service center to fix the common issue.

1. Auto power off –

 You can easily resolve this issue by following the below options:

• Check whether any timer or sleep mode has been set by mistake

• Remove the main power cable
• Try unplugging all devices attached to the TV such as cable connection, media player or speakers
• After one minute, connect the cables as usual and power on the TV

2. Distorted images –

The primary reasons for distorted images could be due to:

• Poor reception quality from the cable, contact the cable operator to get it fixed
• Try to play from a DVD player or pen drive and check if the picture quality improves. If the picture remains poor, check the TV circuitry for problems.
• You can also try to change the brightness & contrast of the picture using your remote control.

3. No sound or no picture –

If the TV is showing video content without sound,

• Check if the mute button has been pressed by mistake
