Question

Samsung remote weird on and off behaviour

Apr 16, 2015 12:35AM PDT

Hi everyone I just got a Samsung UA65HU8500WXXY smart TV. When I switch off the tv via the remote while watching or having a you tube video on pause the tv picture will not switch back on after pressing the on button on the remote again.

Steps to reproduce problem:

1) switch off the tv and back on again at the electricity power to start fresh
2) The smart tv logo appears on start up
3) tv channel will appear
4) turn off tv using remote (works fine)
5) turn on tv using remote (works fine)
6) press smart hub button on remote
7) choose you tube menu option
Cool choose and start to watch any you tube video
9) pause the you tube video
10) turn off tv using remote (works fine)
11) turn on tv using remote (results in only sound and no picture)

The only way to get things to behave again is to switch off and on the tv power electricity mains again.

Is this just happening on my tv or can other people reproduce the same problem.

Let me know

thanks
Paul
