[Wadee]

Hi,
I am using a Samsung Plasma TV some time before. Now there is some issue in the TV. The first is that the pictures which on the My PDP TV looks like a hourglass. That does not change at all. I need here some help in performing a self diagnosis test. The other issue on my TV is that when I connect my DVD player, I am not able to see the video, but on the same the audio is working. The image is also not proper here

If the picture on the PDP TV looks like a hourglass than that simply means that you will need to send the TV to service. You can perform a self diagnosis test to figure out more issues in your TV. The procedure for that is easy. First turn the TV on and then go in the Menu via your remote. Use the arrow keys to go in Support and select it. Then in the sub menu on the left side you can see Self Diagnosis option. There you are just run in it.

If you are getting a audio sound and not video on that then are three possibilities for that. The first is the connection issue which happens mainly due to improper installation or else the cable is bad. The other is that the audio device and TV has a connection failure issue. For this you have to checkout the video output settings from your device. The third reason for the same is damaged internal part.
