Difficulty with Samsung LN40A550 interfering w/remote to Uverse receiver: Would appreciate any advice as to how to solve this problem.

Not sure what the problem is for you. I have this same television and U-Verse service and haven't had any troubles with my remotes. Perhaps you can get a replacement remote from AT&T or at least have them try a different one.

The receiver might probably be picking up a signal from some other device that puts out a signal that is on the same frequency as the light assembly. You might change the switches [frequency switches] on the receiver and the remote unit (so that they match each other) as they should. It is not a serious issue but sometimes annoying one at times. I would suggest that you talk with an electrician just to be on the safe side.

I also have some problems with the AnyNet controls and spent hours on the phone with Samsung trying to get my Pioneer receiver to work. They were no help and kept telling me to get new cables. Here is what I found if you set the sound to "receiver" and have the ARC HDMI cable connected to your receiver OUT port it will find it and the sound works. It even controls the volume but when you turnoff the TV the ANYNet control turns off the receiver like it should but when you turn on the TV my pioneer receiver takes a while to bring up the HDMI interface in fact you can hear the relays click in but by that time this has happened the TV thinks I have no receiver so it reverts back to the internal TV speaker. Very annoying to say the least the work around beside going to the menu and selecting receiver every time is to let the TV come on and turn on your receiver via ANYNET then use your receiver's remote and tune it off then back on and in a few seconds the TV sound is re-routed to your receiver as the TV recognizes the receiver is now there. Another option is to turn off the ANYNET on the systems menu (you have to select system then down arrow to find the ANYNET setting) and then just use a harmony remote to set up the turn-on sequence. By the way I did go by new cables just to make sure my $100+ cables were not the issue as they were before 4K, it made no difference and the picture was worse so back to the original HDMI cables. When I called back Samsung they finally said the ANYNet may not work with other manufacturers and that they could not be responsible for the implementation that Pioneer has done. I asked the tech to put in a ticket to their bugfix group to address the interface timing in their software but the person had no idea how to do this and kept telling me they had no timing in there system which anyone who has written and software knows is not true. Any way hope this helps and keep updating your software maybe they will get it fixed.

Your receiver (TV set) is probably not getting connected to the source of signal. Using your TV remote control, press the TV/VIDEO button...a list of input will be displayed...if you are using an HDMI connector, try each of the 4 HDMI ports by continually pressing the TV/VIDEO button until you hit the right source of signal...good luck.

My first bit of advice would be to isolate the source of the problem (is it the TV or converter?). Try hooking it up to another TV (or a friends, etc). Incidentally, I have mine hooked up to a Sony TV - works great (knock on wood)...Good luck...

I wonder whether the component video cable might be the key. Perhaps the user who had problems was using a composite cable instead. I'm about to order this receiver and try it with my component cable.

Check all your connections, you should not have to do that. I have my Direct TV going to the in..........and my Roku & Bluray in the other inputs. It works fine when I toggle from one to the other. Also your input must be correct as well. Could be a bad unit......

Take a look at CNET.com and take a look at the LN46A750 (just a different screen size) review. They state, "Despite being billed as DLNA-compliant, the TV won't play nice with DLNA server software like Windows Media Player 11 or TVersity (both of which we tested), so you're stuck with the included proprietary software"

I would agree with the other responses regarding the settings on your DVD or Bluray player and your connections. I have DISH attached to my Panasonic, but haven't seen your issue. Also, the issue could be related to a setting on the Panasonic and have found the settings used during the review by CNET for this set to be worthwhile.

Hi, start with using commands from RCA codes, if that doesn't work then try pioneer... my guess it will be RCA as that is the staple of all remotes

I just changed cable companies and this is a real problem. Make sure your "tv" and "crl" (control) are pushed. Even then, I have to aim the remote right between the TV and the cable box

I have the same issue. This was not made for a TV setup the way its advertised. You will need the separate receiver and speakers for optimal results.

Hi, Onkyo support had us use 1141-0108-0400 firmware, I really hope it works for you, we still had interupted video signal. We even had our receiver looked at by a service tech. Unfortunately we have now been forced into a Denon model that actually is pretty great.

HDMI 3 solved the "issue" for me - never saw it again once I used that input. I also do have Anynet function turned on and my TV remote controls my Receiver. When I used HDMI 1 and switched source on my receiver, I saw the "STB Button" message all of the the time.

you have to use the code provided by URC. It will be relatively easy. Just make sure the DirecTv remote isn't in RF mode.

You could try to update the firmware on your receiver, it worked for me. Very easy to do, but it ties up the receiver for an hour. See page 122 of the manual on how to do it. (https://docs.sony.com/release/STRDA5800ES_EN_FR.pdf)

Hi Loretta, sorry to hear this. have tried other inputs like DVD/BD player, computer, game console, cable box? have you checked your physical cables for loose connection? have you tried changing physical cables from your devices going to your TV? -Vincent
