IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.

The TV needs a couple of minutes to initialize after the TV power cord is plugged in. The power buttons on the TV and the remote won't work during this short period of time, and the LED or illumination LED won't light up right away. This is normal operation.

   • Using the HOME button
