Step 7: Media Play Features

The Media Play feature lets you connect to your PC through your home network and stream PC audio and video ﬁles to your HDTV using your remote. To use IPTV or Samsung PC Share Manager, you must connect your TV to your network. You can attach the TV to your network in two ways, by cable, using CAT 5 cable, or wirelessly, using a Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter. Instructions for both connection methods are below.

Network Connection - Wired

There are two main ways to connect your TV to your network using cable, depending on your network setup. They are illustrated below:

The Modem Port on the Wall

Modem Cable (Not Supplied) LAN Cable (Not Supplied)

The LAN Port on the Wall

External Modem

(ADSL / VDSL / Cable TV)

LAN Cable (Not Supplied)

Conﬁguring the Network Connection - Wired

Most home networks use the Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHCP) to conﬁgure network connections. Home networks that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you don’t have to enter them manually.

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

1. Connect your TV to your

network as shown in one of the illustrations above.

2. Turn on your TV, press the MENU

button on your remote, and then

select Setup → Network.

3. Set the Network Type to Wired if it is not already set to Wired.

DNS Setup : Auto Setup

4. Select Network Setup. The Wired Network Setup screen

appears.

5. On the Wired Network Setup menu, set Internet Protocol Setup and DNS Setup to Auto Setup. Auto Setup acquires and enters the necessary internet

values automatically.

6. Select Network Test to check Internet connectivity.

✎

Some networks are Static IP networks. If your network is a Static IP network, you can not use DHCP to configure the network connection. Instead, you must enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server manually. For instructions explaining how to configure a Static IP network, see your user’s manual.

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 - sold separately) to either the USB 1 or USB 2 (HDD) port on the back of your TV. See the illustration below.

Samsung Wireless LAN

Adapter

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 AP (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:

y Authentication Mode: OPEN, SHARED, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK y 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 the select Setup → Network.

3. Set the Network Type to Wireless if it is not already set to

4. Select Network Setup. The Wireless Network Setup screen appears.

5. On the Wireless Network Setup menu, select an AP(Access Point) and ad hoc network. if you have selected network with a security key, the Security Key screen appears.

6. Enter the security key using the numbers on the remote, and then press the

Blue button on your remote.

✎

If your network uses WEP security encryption, 0~9 and A~F will be available on the Security Key screen. Use the Direction button on your remote to move to the characters and the enter key to select them.

7. On the Wireless Network Setup menu, set Internet Protocol Setup and DNS Setup to Auto Setup. The Auto Setup acquires and enters the necessary internet values automatically.

8. Select Network Test to check internet connectivity.
