Both Conditions Are Met

Question:

How can I determine if I'm receiving a digital HD signal on my TV, and what should I do if I encounter issues?

 

Answer:

To determine if you're receiving a digital HD signal, check if both conditions are met:

You have a digital connection (cable/satellite box, streaming device, etc.).

The channel or content is High Definition (HD).

If both conditions are met, then you are receiving a digital HD signal. Your picture should be clear and sharp. However, depending on the strength of the signal, the quality may vary. Overall, the picture should be cleaner and sharper than standard definition.

 

If you are experiencing issues with your picture quality, try performing a Self Diagnosis on your TV. Here are the steps:

 

On your remote control, press the Menu button.

Navigate to the Settings section.

Select Self Diagnosis.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Take note of any error codes or messages provided by the diagnosis.
