Question:

How to determine if a color issue is related to the signal?

Answer:

To find out if the color problem is connected to the signal, follow these steps:

Check your connection type:

If using a set-top box or RF cable, proceed to step 1a.

If using another external device, skip to step 3.

Change the channel:

If the issue disappears, contact your service provider. It's likely a signal problem.

If the issue persists, move on to step 2b.

Test both HD and SD channels:

If the problem affects only one format (HD or SD), contact your service provider. It's probably a signal issue.

If the problem affects both formats, continue to step 4.

Test a different source (e.g., DVD player, gaming console):

If the issue doesn't happen with the second source, it might be a TV setting causing the problem. Review your TV settings.

If the issue happens with the second source too, it could be due to incorrect TV picture settings or a hardware issue. Check your TV settings.
