How to Change the Input on a Samsung TV

  • Press the “Source” or “Input” button on the remote to bring up a menu of input sources. Highlight the desired source and press Enter/OK to select it.

Using the TV menu

  • Press the Home button on the remote to bring up the TV menu. Go to “Connected Devices” or “Source” and select the desired input source.

Using the TV controller button

  • All Samsung TVs have a controller button on the back/bottom. Press it to bring up a menu, then navigate to “Source” and cycle through options by pressing repeatedly. Press and hold to select an input.

Using SmartThings app

  • Download the SmartThings app on your phone and connect your TV. You can then change input sources directly from the app.

Tips

  • Make sure the device you want to display is turned on before switching inputs.
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting an HDMI cable if a source isn’t being detected.
  • A factory reset may help if input switching is not working properly.

In summary, Samsung makes it easy to change inputs in just a few button presses on either the remote, TV itself, or SmartThings app. Check connections and reset if needed.
