Having a few issues with my new 55' Samsung qled series 7 tv. I bought it to play games but I get blackouts every 10min playing my PS4. Doesn't do it with regular tv just PS4 pro. Really frustrating

Hello!
Sounds like an issue with your display connection. Make sure the HDMI cable you are using is in perfect working condition and that both ends are firmly connected to television/console.
Hope it helped!

I cant figure out how to listen to the radio while i play video games through hdmi cables

In order for you to be able to have a different audio source from your video, i.e.; have "radio sound" instead of "video game sound", you have to connect your HDMI cables from the game console directly to the TV/Monitor.

The reason for this is that video and audio are carried simultaneously over a single connection on HDMI. If you make your HDMI connections through a receiver to a monitor, whenever you change your input to the radio you also lose your video game picture.

So to summarize;

Power off your receiver and game console.

Disconnect your game console HDMI cable from the receiver.

Reconnect the HDMI cable to the TV.

Turn on the TV, then the receiver, then your game console. Then change your receiver input to the radio.

PS3 screen flash / sound cut-out

The PS3 has an issue with what's called the "HDMI handshake" between the PS3 and the TV. The PS3 does not even realise that this is happening. What you might try to do is turn the system on, play a game, and when the flashing and no sound occurs, unplug the HDMI cable from your PS3, wait a few seconds and plug it back in. This may resolve your issue. If it doesn't work, try component cables, there is no known issue with this problem occuring with this type of connection. Good luck!

No surround sound, when playing blue ray films using ps3

Hi there,

Im guessing you are using a HDMI cable,

HDMI cables struggle to carry audio...

you will need a componet cable, this is basicly the same quality, and all you do is plug the audio cable part into the surround sound system and done.

Hope this helps

Unable to get ps3 to play when hooked to receiver

The audio inputs on the receiver need to be set to receive the Optical signal on the switch you set the ps3 to. ie Game, DVD, AUX. Each switch needs to be set to receive the audio signal coming into it. Usually on the remotes setup feature.

Cannot play video games downloaded

I was getting the same problem with my lcd tv. I was using a DVI to hdmi cable to connect the pc to the tv. I switched to a vga cable and I was able to finally get into the game. Once you get into the game make sure you change all the video settings to be compatible with your tv i.e. resolution for a 720p set should be 1366x768 on the game resolution, and you should also change the refresh rate to 60hz in the game if that is the max. on your tv.

Once you do this, you can then put your hdmi cable back in and get into the game. Every game I install I have to first run using the vga cable, and then switch to HDMI.
