How do I get the HDMI to recognize the Amazon fire stick?

My Sony RM-YD003 remote does not have an input or source button. The KDF-E42A10 projection TV has only one HDMI port. It was hooked up to DirecTV. I have switched to Hulu. My other TVs were easy to use with teh Amazon fire stick. For some reason, I cannot get the TV to work once I plug the fire sstick into the single HDMI port. I beleive I can get it to work if i can figure out how to change the input to HDMI.

When you used directv how did you get the signal? was it automatic? if so the firestick should work. Are you sure you getting power to the firestick. I have had problems in the past using the USB for Power that is on the TV. I always plug the usb power from the Firestick to an outlet instead of the USB power if available on the TV.

SOURCE: PS3/HDMI issues

Hold your finger over the button on the far right of the PS3 until it beeps twice and the PS3 will cycle through it output settings and you should them be able to set up the PS3 through to the HDMI settings. Good luck. The answer above regarding the wrong cable is completely bogus.....your cable is fine.

SOURCE: mintex 37 inch wide screen. remote is working however cannot change channel, input source or volum. only turns tv off. The buttone on tv doesnot work connot change input source or volume

Check if the remote is in TV position, that is, because most of the remote controllers have the feature that you can program them for use with another devices. Make shure that one button that says "TV" in pressed and released once before you try to change any function on the TV.

SOURCE: Direct TV remote "tv input" button won't work with my Sony TV

I came across this looking for a similar solution for my Samsung TV, and I found the solution on ehow.com. Apparently after you program the remote for your TV you have to hold mute and select again until it flashes twice then put in 960 to make the remote control TV input too. Note you're remote should be in TV mode while you do this. It seems silly that the DirectTV guy wouldn't do this when programming the remote.

SOURCE: HDMI input says "mode not compatible"

If your Playstation is putting out the signal in 1080p then try changing it to 1080i and see if that works. Not all TVs are compatible with 1080p.

Testimonial: "Don't know how I never considered that the PS3 output settings would have been the problem. I was so fixated on the TV settings that I completely overlooked the PS3 setup! That was outstanding advice!"

Samsung remote and Amazon Firestick

t's possible that the 5-year-old accidentally changed the input source on the Samsung TV, which is why you can't get the Fire Stick to work. Here are the steps you can follow to switch the input source back to the HDMI port where your Fire Stick is connected:
  1. Turn on your Samsung TV and your Amazon Fire Stick.
  2. Using your Samsung remote, press the "Input" button.
  3. A list of input sources should appear on your screen. Use the arrow keys on your remote to select the HDMI port where your Fire Stick is connected. The HDMI port may be labeled as "HDMI 1," "HDMI 2," or something similar.
  4. Press the "Enter" or "OK" button on your remote to select the HDMI input source.
  5. Your TV should now switch to the HDMI input where your Fire Stick is connected, and you should see the Fire Stick's home screen on your TV.
If you're still having trouble, try unplugging the Fire Stick and plugging it back in to make sure it's properly connected. Also, make sure the TV and Fire Stick are both updated to their latest software versions.
