My projection hitachi tv has a blank square showing up on the upper left hand corner. it shows up on all tv channels, but is fine when using DVD. What is the problem?

    the PIP is turned off and it is still there. The PIP normally shows up on the other side of the screen. Thoughts?

Sounds like you have Picture in Picture enabled. It doesn't show when viewing DVD because the DVD is the PIP. Just turn PIP off, there should be a button for it on the remote.

    Thank you for the reply. I thought I was on the money considering your description but obviously not. I found the owners manual online.It seems that the area of the screen you describe is the same area that the on-screen display menu would be, and is a much larger area than PIP. Is the menu working correctly?
    If there is an internal problem, you may want to use an external tuner through one of the AV inputs as a workaround in lieu of having it repaired. Since it isn't affecting the DVD player, it sounds like that might work. The manual mentions a service hotline, if you call maybe they can direct you to an authorized servicer , and give you some idea of cost if you want to have it repaired.

When i turned on my Samsung LED television all i get is a blank grey screen with no sound. i have Comcast but my other tvs are fine. i can play a dvd on it with sound and screen, no problem and the menu...

Follow the cable from the Comcast set top box and see where it is plugged into the tv. Check what that jack is labled and then select that option on the TV menu. My guess is that the tv and dvd are not both on component 2, if the are then the set top box is not connected directly to the tv but to the DVD unit. In that case, if the cable set top box is connected to the dvd, then you might need to put the tv on ch 3 (or maybe 2 or 4) or you may need to switch a setting on the DVD box or remote that selects the TV/DVD option.

Blank Blue square on left hand corner of the screen ??

It might not be the same issue, but we had a blue square in the upper left hand corner of our hanspree. To fix it, either press the button headed 'pip' or go into menu, down to calibration and then uncheck the box titled 'pip' there. I hope this sorta yours as it did ours.

Screen blanks out int when on local channels

I had the same problem (a flashing HDMI 1 text box in the upper left hand corner of the screen every +/- 10 seconds) and rebooting the cable box seemed to help. I'd previously tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cables, but wasn't successful. I assume my problem originates with Time Warner Cable.
