I am a newbie and have seen this 1st issue discussed but cannot find it with Search. Everytime I shut down the unit then power up again the set tries to reset all the channels through the auto set routine. I can stop it but it is a nuisance. For cable hook up I am coming out of my Comcast box directly into the Cable/Antenna main input. How do I fix?



Also I have a big issue on WAF. I took my wife to several stores showed her the unit (she loved it in the stores, encouraged me to buy it. I was initially hesitant). Uponn delivery set-up in the the pre agreed location she flips big time. She thinks it destroys the room ambiance and overall look.


How have others dealt with this?

Yes I know she gave her word and broke it but....

You need to have at least one channel selected. I have channel 3 because that is how I come in with my cable box feed. You can manually set a channel. If no channels are selected by the auto-set process the set tries again each time it starts. It will also clear the set channels if you unplug the set and then auto-select again.


As for the wife... Mine was not happy until we got a $60 TV table at IKEA. It is black and lowers the TV, so the set is less noticeable in the room. But she likes the picture so much that there are no complaints. She complained constantly when we temporarily had the set on the coffee table.

One element you didn't state was your viewing distance. For a 50in you should have around 10ft as I understand it. If you are sitting any closer then yeah it could start to overwhelm the room.


As for the autosearch option, Walt answered it

With regard to WAF issue --- it's not the viewing distance with respect to my comment on 'overwhelming the room' it's the cosmetics of having a big screen tv in the famnily room. The 50 inchers all looked, well 'not overwhelming' in a show room, in my family room she feels the set converts the family room to big screen tv room. I guess I'll have to work it out.

theob,


A TV is not worth ruining a happy home over. IMHO.


Since the Samsung DLP does not have its speakers on the sides, the set would be much narrower. Do you think that would be acceptable to her?

She's right. It is a "big screen tv room" now. That's why you bought it.

I don't have a WAF answer but you should try out the "edit" button when you want to change a message you have already sent.

Gentlemen it seems as if I still have the problem. I tried manually setting the channel to 3 but whenever I power down the set forgets this setting.


This is the process I used to Manual Select


1) Hit Enter and choose Set Up

2) Scroll to Channel

3) Scroll to Manual Set Up

4) Choose channel 3 -- hit Enter then hit recall successively several times to get out of the menu


Is this preocess in correct?

I connected a video source to the antenna input and let it do it's auto thing until all it found was channel 3. After that it seems to be happy.
