Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference only and may differ from actual product appearance. Product design and specifications may be changed without notice.

Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files), still image elements (such as TV channel logos, stock or news bars at the screen bottom etc.), or programs in panorama or 4:3 image format on the screen. Constantly displaying still pictures can cause image burn-in on the LCD screen, which will affect image quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow the recommendations below:

•Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

•Always try to display any image in full screen. Use the TV set’s picture format menu for the best possible match.

•Reduce brightness and contrast values to the minimum required to achieve the desired picture quality. Exceeding the minimum required values may speed up the burn-in process.

•Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn-in. Refer to appropriate e-Manual sections for details.

Securing the Installation Space

Keep the required distances between the TV, the wall, and other objects to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to do so may result in a fire or a problem with the TV caused by an increase in its internal temperature.

When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

xx If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.

HDMI IN 1 (DVI), 2, 3, 4 / PC/DVI AUDIO IN

xx When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1 (DVI) jack for video. A DVD player, Bluray player, HD cable box, HD STB satellite receiver, cable box, or STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. You must use the PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack for audio.

xx The picture may not display normally (if at all) or the audio may not work if you connect an external device that uses an older version of HDMI mode to the TV. If such a problem occurs, ask the manufacturer of the external device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade.

xx Be sure to purchase a certified HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may occur.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)

xx When you connect a Digital Audio System to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume of both the TV and the system.

xx 5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when you connect the TV to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

xx When the receiver (home theater) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s optical jack. When the TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD player / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and you connected it to the TV via HDMI, you will only hear 2 CH audio from the home theater receiver. If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD player/ Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.

AUDIO OUT: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier/home theater. xx When connecting, use the appropriate connector (sold separately).

xx When you connect an audio amplifier to the AUDIO OUT jacks, decrease the volume of the TV and adjust the volume level with the amplifier’s volume control.

Network Connection

You can set up your TV so that it can access the Internet through your local area network (LAN) using a wired or wireless connection.

Network Connection - Wireless

You can connect your TV to your LAN through a standard wireless router or modem. To connect wirelessly, you must first attach a Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN - sold separately) to either the USB port on the back of your TV. See the illustration below.

TV Side Panel

		Wireless IP sharer

		or
	LAN Adapter

LAN Cable

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11n wireless communication protocols. For your TV to connect to your network, the wireless router or modem you use must also support one of these protocols. The fastest of these protocols is IEEE 802.11n.

Most wireless network systems incorporate a security system that requires devices that access the network through an access point or wireless router (typically a wireless modem or router) to transmit an encrypted security code called an access key.

For regular connections, your TV is compatible with the following security protocols:

•Authentication Mode: OPEN, SHARED, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

•Encryption Type: WEP, TKIP, AES

Configuring the Network Connection - Wireless

The instructions below are for networks that use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure network connections automatically. If your have a Static IP network, see your user’s manual for configuration instructions.

To configure your network connection for a network that uses DHCP, follow these steps:

1.Connect your TV to your network as shown in the illustrations above.

2.Turn on your TV, press the MENU button on your remote, and then select Network → Network Settings.

3.Select Wireless (General), and then press ENTERE twice.

4.The Network function searches for available wireless network. When done, it displays a list of the available networks.

5.In the list of networks, press the ▲ or ▼ button to select a network, then select Next and press ENTERE.

6.If you have selected an wireless router that has security, the security key screen appears. Enter the Security key (Security key or PIN), then select Next, and press

ENTERE.

Network Settings

Select a network connection type.

When you enter the Security key (Security key or PIN), use ▲/▼/◄/► buttons on your remote to select numbers and characters. You can also use the number keys on the remote to enter numbers directly.

7.The network connection screen appears and verifies the network connection. When the connection has been verified, the “Internet is connected successfully.” message appears.

For more detailed information, see “Connecting to a Wireless Network” in the e-Manual.

If you want to set the connection manually, select IP Settings on the network connection screen. Set IP Mode to

Manual. You must enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server manually.
