Question 1

Why does my television not display anything when I connect my NVIDIA SHIELD TV PRO?

Accepted Answer

If your television does not display anything when you connect your NVIDIA SHIELD TV PRO, several causes may be behind this issue. Here’s how to identify and resolve the problem:

1. Check the connections

HDMI Cable: Ensure that the HDMI cable is properly connected to both the SHIELD TV PRO and your television. Unplug and then replug it to ensure a good connection.
Power: Check that the SHIELD TV PRO unit is powered on. A light indicator on the device should be visible. If not, check the power outlet and the power adapter.

2. Select the correct input source on your television

Use your television remote to select the HDMI input corresponding to the port where the SHIELD TV PRO is connected (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc.). Without this, the screen will remain black.

3. Test with another HDMI cable or port

Try another HDMI cable to eliminate a possible defect in the cable.
Connect the SHIELD TV PRO to another HDMI port on your television to check if the initial port is faulty.

4. Restart the SHIELD TV PRO

Unplug the unit from the power outlet, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. This restart may resolve temporary issues related to the device.

5. Check video resolution compatibility

If your television is old, it may not support the default resolution of the SHIELD TV PRO. In this case, try connecting the unit to another television to change the resolution settings, or check the display options on the SHIELD to adjust the resolution.

6. Try another television

Connect the SHIELD TV PRO to another television to determine if the problem lies with the device or the initial television.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that there is a hardware defect with the SHIELD TV PRO or the television. In this case, contacting NVIDIA technical support may be necessary for further assistance.

Question 2

How do I turn on the NVIDIA SHIELD TV PRO media box?

Accepted Answer

Simply connect your NVIDIA SHIELD TV PRO to power and it will turn on automatically. You do not need to press a button to start it.

Connection and power on:

Connect the supplied certified HDMI 2.0 cable to an HDMI port on your TV (make sure the TV is off), then connect the other end to the HDMI port at the back of the SHIELD.
Connect the supplied power cable to the power port at the back of the SHIELD, then plug the other end into a wall outlet.
The SHIELD will turn on immediately and a green light will illuminate on the box, confirming that the device is powered on.
Turn on your TV and switch to the HDMI input corresponding to the port where the SHIELD is connected (check the labels on your HDMI ports if you can't find them).

Accessories: The NVIDIA SHIELD remote or SHIELD controller are already paired from the factory. If you have a remote, you do not need to pair it. Refer to the manual if you need to add an additional accessory.

Sleep mode: The SHIELD automatically enters sleep mode when not in use. To wake it up, simply touch the NVIDIA button on the box or on your remote.
