HDMI Issues TV: UE46C7705

by hollowpursuit Aug 24, 2010 11:02PM PDT

Hi,
Recently bought this UE46C LED TV and hooked up three HDMI sources (2 TViX media streamers and a Sony DVD). Out of the box all seemed to work OK and all displayed perfect 1080p. The following day the TV didn't recognise any of the sources through HDMI. I tried starting the TV first, starting the source first, changing cables... The following day it worked again (for one of the sources)... There seems to be no pattern here and it's very frustrating having invested so much in this TV. I have another Samsung LCD TV and have no problems at all using HDMI with the same sources and cables.
Ideas?

HDMI Issues TV: UE46C7705

hollowpursuit,

First, are the peripheral units powered on when looking for them in the SOURCE menu?

Try attaching one unit at a time to see if there's any pattern, and then attaching other units. It could be that one of the units is interfering or causing an issue on the same board that the other devices are attached to.

If you're unable to isolate a specific peripheral, you might call the Samsung customer service center in your region to see about having your unit inspected by a technician.

Yes, I have tried starting the sources first, then starting the TV, I have also tried starting the TV first and then the sources. I have tried one source at atime following teh methods above.

By the way, last night it worked on all three sources without a problem...

Very frustrating!

Hi, wondered if you had a fix, I have exactly the same intermittant problem, its driving me mad, I have spoken to Samsung, they asked me to do a firmware update, I've done 3 now and still every now and again, NO Hdmi, even the samsung bluray player will only display lo-res.
Sometimes I manage to get a picture by turning everything off and on and off and on and (it goes on if I'm lucky)
