Auto Volume (Off / Normal / Night)
Normal equalizes the volume level on each channel, so that when you change
channels, the volume level is the same.
Night equalizes and decrease the volume level on each channel, so each channel
is quieter. Night is useful at night, when you may want to keep the volume low.
If connecting to an external device using the HDMI/DVI cable, it is
recommended to turn off Auto Volume. Control as this option may compromise the volume setting controlled by the external device.

❑Connecting to a Wired Network
There are three ways to attach your TV to your LAN using cable:
You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a LAN cable. See the diagram below.

You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to a IP Sharer (router) which is connected to an external modem.
Use LAN cable for the connection. See the diagram below.

Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV
directly to a network wall outlet using a LAN cable. See the diagram below. Note that the wall outlet is attached to a modem or router elsewhere in your house.

If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and
routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you do not have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks. Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a Windows
computer, you can also get these values through your computer.
You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a Static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use
Static IP addresses.
A network speed of lower than 10 Mbps is not supported.

❑Connecting to a Wireless Network
for LCD 550 series
To connect your TV to your wireless network, you need a wireless router or modem and a Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, or WIS10ABGN), which you connect to your TV’s back or side panel USB port. See the illustration below.

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by selected retailers, Ecommerce sites, and Samsungparts.com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g and n communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. When you play video over a IEEE
802.11b/g connection, the video may not play smoothly.
NOTE
You must use the WIS09ABGN2, or WIS10ABGN) to use a wireless network.
Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter and The USB extension Cable are sold
“Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGN,
separately and are offered by selected retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com.
To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer (either a router or a modem). If the wireless IP sharer supports
DHCP, your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.
English
Page 62
Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer is currently being used by
another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.
Your TV supports the following wireless security systems only:
Authentication Mode: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
Encryption Type: WEP, AES
If you select the Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode and the
Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP AES (WPS2Mixed) for your wireless router, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.
If your wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network via PBC (Push Button Configuration) or PIN
(Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in either mode.
English
Page 63
If your router, modem, or device is not certified, it may not connect to the TV via the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.”
Ensure the TV is turned off before you connect the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.
Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection in five ways:
Auto Setup (Using the Auto Network Search function)
Manual Setup
WPS (PBC)
One Foot Connection
Ad hoc
The TV may not recognize the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter if it is connected to the TV using a USB hub or USB extension cable other than
the cable supplied.
English
Page 64
Notice
The picture may appear corrupted or have static for some channels when the TV is connected to the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter. In such a case, establish a connection using one of the following methods or connect the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter using a USB cable in a place that is not affected by radio interference.
Connecting the Samsung Wireless Adapter - Method 1
Connect using the USB right angle adapter.
To connect the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter using
the USB right angle adapter, follow these steps:
1. Connect the USB right angle adapter to the
Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.
2. Connect the other end of the right angle adapter
to the USB 1 (HDD) port.
English
Page 65
Connecting the Samsung Wireless Adapter - Method 2
Connect using the extension cable.
To connect the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter using the extension cable, follow these steps:
or
1. Connect the extension cable to the USB 1 (HDD)
port.
2. Connect the extension cable and Samsung
Wireless LAN Adapter.
3. Using double-sided adhesive tape, attach the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter to
the back of the TV near the top.

■Automatic Network Setup
Most wireless networks have an optional security system that requires devices that access the network to transmit an encrypted security code called an Access or Security Key. The Security Key is based on a Pass Phrase, typically a word or a series of letters and numbers of a specified length you were asked to enter when you set up security for your wireless network. If you use this method of setting up the network connection, and have a Security Key for your wireless network, you will have to enter the Pass Phrase during the automatic or manual setup process.

If Your TV Fails to Connect to the Internet
Your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet because your ISP has permanently registered the MAC address (a unique identifying number) of your PC or modem, which it then authenticates each time you connect to the Internet as a way of preventing unauthorized access. As your TV has a different MAC address, your ISP can not authenticate its MAC address, and your TV can not connect.
To resolve this problem, ask your ISP about the procedures required to connect devices other than a PC (such as your TV) to the Internet.
If your Internet service provider requires an ID or password to connect to the Internet, your
TV may not be able to connect to the Internet. If this is the case, you must enter your ID or password when connecting to the Internet.
The internet connection may fail because of a firewall problem. If this is the case, contact your Internet service provider.
If you cannot connect to the Internet even after you have followed the procedures of your Internet service provider, please contact Samsung Electronics at 1-800-SAMSUNG.
