    Why does Anynet+ not work on my Samsung Plasma TV?
    • J
      Justin TerrellJul 29, 2025
      If Anynet+ is not working on your Samsung Plasma TV, first ensure that the device you are trying to connect is an Anynet+ compatible device, as the system only supports these devices. Also, remember that you can connect only one receiver (home theater). Check that the Anynet+ device's power cord is properly connected, along with its Video/Audio/HDMI cable connections. Verify that Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) is set to 'On' in the Anynet+ setup menu and that the TV remote control is in TV mode and is Anynet+ compatible. Note that Anynet+ may not function during certain operations like searching channels or using Smart Hub. If you've reconnected the HDMI cable, try rescanning for devices or power cycling the TV. Finally, check that the Anynet+ function of the external device is enabled.

      Samuel McmillanAug 7, 2025
      If the connected device is not displayed on your Samsung Plasma TV, first check that the device supports Anynet+ functions and that the HDMI cable is properly connected. Ensure that Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) is set to 'On' in the Anynet+ setup menu. Try scanning for Anynet+ devices again. Anynet+ requires an HDMI connection, so make sure the device is connected with an HDMI cable. Note that some HDMI cables may not fully support Anynet+ functions. If the connection was interrupted due to a power failure or the HDMI cable being disconnected, repeat the device scan.
