SOURCE: set top box and remote control

My remote wasn't working until I programmed it to work with itself ... (how odd it wasn't done already).

"CBL" button and ""OK/SEL" held down simulataneously for 3 seconds ... then "001" for the Scientific Atlanta. If the unit turns off, you're in business.

SOURCE: Black Bars on all blu ray movies

Hi icmjrtdr,

Having black bars displayed when watching a Blu-Ray disc is a common occurrence, even with a widescreen television.

You may have heard or seen aspect ratios of 4:3 or 16:9. 4:3 is the ratio of a traditional television that is nearly square. 16:9 is the ratio of most widescreen televisions currently marketed. The reason that even with a 16:9 television Blu-Ray discs are displaying black bars is that many of these discs contain footage that has not been reformatted for television. The screen in a movie theater is even wider than 16:9, and rather than trim the ends, most Blu-Ray discs maintain the entire picture.

Depending on the options available in your particular television, you may be able to find a zoom setting that trims the ends and removes the black bars. It is up to you if you would rather see black bars with the entire picture or lose a small amount of the picture on each side for a full-screen experience.

Hope this helps,
Jason,
Go Ahead. Use Us.

SOURCE: Samsung HLS 5679W LED DLP TV Horizontal white lines jagged across screen.

What you are sseing is a convergence problem within the light engine of the set. This is not repairable in teh field other than replacing the light engine part. Since this unit is less than one year old, it should be covered under warranty. From the looks of it, one of the LCD panels has shifted internally. Call for warranty service and indicate that the light engine has a problem. With luck, the service company will show up with the part in hand. Replacement should not take more than an hour or so.

SOURCE: need the remote code for Samsung 55" led tv 8000 series

I have the 8 series 40" led tv. The screen HAS an IR receiver. It is to the one inch left of the Samsung logo, down close to the edge of the frame. For the code i am also trying to find the right code. You may need to apply the latest system update of your V20 system.

GREAT PICTURE AND SOUND BUT ABOUT 6" UP ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN IS DARKER THAN THE REST OF THE SCREEN. HOW DO I DETERMINE IF ITS A BAD STRIP OF LEDS OR THE LED BOARD??

Inmost of the case,the problem is the LED strips.

To check it, the best way is use a LED tester, if you do not have one, you have to disassembly the LCD panel, unplug the cable between the power supply & the main board, apply the AC power to the TV, you will see the defective strips do not light up.

How do I set the picture to full screen?

What are you trying to watch? If you are looking at a cable TV box or DVD player through an HDMI input, you will have to adjust the settings in the cable box or DVD menus to match your tv's HDMI input capabilities.
