The duration that the Source list screen stays visible on your TV can vary based on the model and brand. However, here are a few general tips that might help you make it disappear more quickly:
Change Input Method: Instead of using the remote to navigate through the Source list, try directly selecting the input from a shortcut button if your remote has one. This may minimize the time the Source menu stays on the screen.
Remote Control Shortcuts: Some remotes have specific buttons for quick access to sources or HDMI ports. Look for a button that might allow you to bypass the Source list entirely.
Settings Menu: Check your TV’s settings. Look for an option related to the “Display” or “Source” settings. Some TVs allow you to adjust how long the Source list is displayed before it times out.
Firmware Update: Ensure your TV’s firmware is up to date. Sometimes, updates can fix issues or offer new features that enhance user experience.
Contact Support: If the issue persists and is particularly bothersome, consider reaching out to your TV manufacturer’s customer support for advice, as they may offer specific instructions for your model.
Power Off/on: In some cases, if all else fails, quickly turning the TV off and on can reset any lingering display issues.
Try these suggestions and see if you can find a quicker way to manage the Source list!
