Icons are not send from the external devices, but the TV software may show an icon from its own icon library based on what it detects. Or it may not show an icon if they change the TV software on that aspect. Lacking an icon, a device should at least show its name in text.


To change the input signal to an external device, on your TV, go to Home﹥Source﹥[select device].

Verify that the HDMI cable is firmly connected on both ends.

Try different HDMI port to test if the previous HDMI port is causing issues.
