OK, If its the Samsung Sound Bar, this item should have 2 HDMI input, 1 3.5mm audio jack input and a digital audio input (fiber optic). Since there are various input, the remote control should have a source button, or it will probably read O/A Input, this is to change thru the inputs from the sound bar. If you connected your TV HDMI output to HDMI 1 from the Sound Bar, then press the source button to reach HDMI 1, maybe it will be display with a different name, like sound 1, or DIGI.1 Give it a shot and let me know in the comment section. Good luck.

Your DVD will be (or should be) connected to your TV using either HDMI cable, Component Cables + Audio, Composite Video + Audio or other A/V connection. Your TV remote will have an input selector that switched the source signal within your TV. This can also be called source selector. In any case, you need to push this button on the remote to rotate through sources (if only one button) or push the button labeled DVD, for instance to select the DVD inputs. Please note that only one type of connection should be used such as HDMI or Component, but not both.

Use your TV remote "input" "source" or "tv video" input button. If using the.Dish remote press the clear tv button then input. Repeat to go back to HDMI. Make sure you press sat to change channels once you get back on the HDMI input for dish

What is Viera Link? Viera Link allows the control of other Panasonic home AV devices via the television remote control.

By pressing the Viera Link button on the television remote, it is possible to turn on and navigate the menus of other Viera Link equipment. Please note, Viera Link requires an HDMI connection between the television and the external source.

More control functions have been added with each new generation of Viera Link compatible products. However, it is important to note that the newer functions only work if both products are from the same year of manufacture. Therefore, if an older source is used with a newer year of television, only the older functions common to both years will work.

Hi Caleb,
To resolve this, please perform the following steps:

• Turn off the TV and unplug the power cord
• Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port of your laptop.

• Plug in the power cords for the TV and Xbox
• Turn on your TV and Xbox
• Enter the TV Menu and select Setup (Refer to the image and steps mentioned below)

• To enter the TV Menu, press the Menu button on Remote control
• Use the left and right buttons (volume buttons) to move between the icons

Select correct input source

• Input allows you to select the proper source based on how you have your TV and video equipment connected.
• Press Input on the remote to go directly to the Input Select menu
• Select HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 (Refer to image below)

If the TV does not work, please follow these steps:

Verify the PIP/POP/PBP function is disabled ( PIP/POP/PBP Compatibility - The only input sources that cannot work together are HDMI with HDMI)

• Press the Menu button on the remote control or TV

CONNECT IT AGAIN TO HDMI INPUT AND CHANGE SOURCE ON THE TV SETTINGS INPUT SHOULD BE HDMI1

Sometimes you can unplug the hdmi cable and power off the tv and unplug power to tv wait 10 sec plug tv back in and then insert hdmi cable. Some of the newer tvs will auto tune to the input if that dont work, try getting a universal remote program the remote to control tv if you can control tv volume, power , menu then you should be able to navigate to the input menu and select hdmi that way

You either need to change the input source. Currently the source is TV, depending on how you connected the DVD player to the TV, it should be composite (A/V), component video or HDMI. (S-video is also a possibility. Very few DVD players are connected on the RF (coax) input which might be channel 3 or 4 without having a converter between the DVD player and the TV.)

Look on your TV remote for a button marked Source or Input. You may also find this button on the TV. (On some TVs, this may also be accessed through the menus.)

How did you connect the TV and the DVD player? If your audio and video were connected via three RCA plugs (yellow, red, white) on each end, then use the composite video input. If you used cables with 3 RCA plugs for video (yellow, green, blue) and 2 for audio (red/white), then switch to the component input. If you used HDMI which carries audio and video in one cable (with rectangular ends), then use the HDMI input.

Some older TVs only have the Source/Input button on their original remote. Not all universal replacement remotes have this button, you may need a different remote. Those that do may require you to try additional codes for your TV manufacturer to enable the button. (The on./off buttons often will work with more of the codes for a brand.) The ones that can be programmed via a USB connection to a computer are most likely to support the function. Please add a comment with the type of TV for additional help with this.

I hope this helps.
