The easiest way to select a source is to use the INPUT button on your remote. Pressing it will pop up a menu that shows all the inputs on your television (unless you hid any of them- see BELOW). Then you can simply use the thumb pad to move to the input you wish and press OK to select it.
Note that "TV" is the internal Tuner on the television, NOT necessarily where your TV source is connected. If you are using a Cable or Satellite Box for your TV channels, you will need to select the correct HDMI input for it to display.
