0:41
cost to you let's start with the basics
0:44
checking the HDMI cable and ports
0:47
inspect your HDMI cable for any signs of
0:49
wear or damage since a faulty cable
0:52
often causes connectivity issues try
0:54
connecting the HDMI cable to different
0:56
ports on your high sense TV to see if a
0:59
specific Port is the problem dust and
1:01
debris can also disrupt the connection
1:03
so use compressed air or gently blow
1:06
into the ports to clean them sometimes
1:09
the issue is as simple as a poorly
1:11
seated HDMI cable make sure the cable is
1:14
securely plugged into both the TV and
1:16
the external device switch off your TV
1:19
unplug all cables clean the HDMI ports
1:22
and firmly reconnect everything before
1:24
turning the TV back on if the issue
1:26
persists try connecting the HDMI cable
1:29
to a different port Port test each port
1:31
to pinpoint the problem sometimes it's
1:33
not the TV but the external device like
1:36
a gaming console or Blu-ray player
1:38
causing the issue make sure the device
1:40
is powered on and working correctly
1:43
restarting it can often resolve the
1:44
problem if it works on another TV the
1:47
issue is likely with your high sense TV
1:49
if it doesn't work on the other TV
1:51
either troubleshoot or repair the
1:54
device now let's ensure your TV is set
1:56
to the correct HDMI input this might
1:59
seem basic but it's often overlooked use
2:01
your remote to navigate to the TV's
2:03
input settings and select the HDMI port
2:06
connected to your device for the best
2:08
viewing experience especially with 4K or
2:11
HDR content adjust your TV's HDMI
2:13
settings go into the HDMI settings menu
2:16
and tweak the settings based on your
2:18
device's requirements this simple step
2:21
can significantly improve your picture
2:23
quality and fix connectivity issues
2:25
still having issues let's try a power
2:28
cycle a simple but effective technique
2:31
start by unplugging your high sense TV
2:32
from the power outlet then locate the
2:35
physical power button usually found
2:37
beneath the infrared receiver on your TV
2:39
and press and hold it for about 15
2:41
seconds this step helps discharge any
2:43
remaining power from the TV next leave
2:46
the TV unplugged for at least 10 minutes
2:48
to ensure all residual power is
2:50
completely drained finally plug the TV
2:53
back in and turn it on this process
2:56
often clears minor glitches and gets
2:57
your TV working again give it a shot If
3:00
the previous steps didn't work updating
3:02
your TV software might be the solution
3:04
you need software updates often include
3:07
essential fixes and improvements that
3:09
enhance performance and compatibility
3:12
which can resolve HDMI issues I've
3:14
already created an entire video on how
3:16
to update your high sense TV's software
3:19
you can find it in the card above but
3:21
here's a quick overview start by going
3:23
to settings on your hens TV then
3:25
navigate to the support option scroll
3:27
down to the third option system update
3:30
and click check firmware update if your
3:32
TV detects a new update it will install
3:34
automatically just follow the onscreen
3:37
prompts to complete the process it only
3:38
takes a few minutes let's check HDMI
3:41
compatibility high sense TVs usually
3:44
support HDMI 2.1 which enables Advanced
3:46
features like 4K resolution at 120 HZ if
3:50
your device uses HDMI 2.1 but your TV
3:53
has an older HDMI version signal issues
3:55
may occur check the HDMI specifications
3:58
of both your TV and device
4:00
if there's a mismatch adjust your device
4:02
settings to ensure smooth connectivity
4:04
and the best viewing experience now

let's troubleshoot the ARC Audio return
4:10
Channel feature Arc allows your TV to
4:13
send audio to your sound system using a
4:14
single HDMI cable simplifying your setup
4:18
first locate the HDMI port labeled Arc
4:21
or ERC on both your TV and sound system
4:24
then plug in the cable use your remote
4:27

4:28
audio output to Arc and adjust advanced

4:35
connections and change the digital audio
4:37
out setting from pass through to Auto
4:40
all right if nothing else has worked it
4:42
might be time for the nuclear option a
4:45
factory reset but be warned this will
4:47
erase all your settings data and
4:49
preferences returning your TV to its
4:52
original state only go this route if

a factory reset grab your remote and
4:59
press the home button to open the main
5:01
menu from there navigate to the settings
5:03
section it's the one with the gear icon
5:06

5:12
it's there keep scrolling until you find

5:28
its thing the TV will restart and voila
5:31
