Troubleshoot your hardware connection

There might be an issue with the connection between your device and the TV.

To fix the problem:

  1. Make sure you're using an HDMI cable.

  2. Try reversing the ends of the HDMI cable.

  3. Bypass any receivers or sound systems in use by connecting your device directly to your TV using an HDMI cable.

  4. Try connecting to a different HDMI port on your TV.

  5. Try a new HDMI cable.

  6. If available, try an HDMI port on another TV.

    • If you can stream on another TV, there may be an issue with the HDMI port on the original TV. Contact the TV manufacturer for help.
