broadcasted or where you are able to access to a compatible DVB-C (MPEG2 and MPEG4 AAC) cable-TV service. Please check with your local
dealer the possibility to receive DVB-T or DVB-C signal.

2. DVB-T is the DVB European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television and DVB-C is that for the broadcast

transmission of digital TV over cable. However, some differentiated features like EPG (Electric Programme Guide), VOD (Video On Demand) and so
on, are not included in this specification. So, they cannot be workable at this moment.

3. Although this TV set meets the latest DVB-T and DVB-C standards, as of [August, 2008], the compatibility with future DVB-T digital terrestrial and

DVB-C digital cable broadcasts cannot be guaranteed.

4. Depending on the countries/areas where this TV set is used some cable-TV providers may charge an additional fee for such a service and you may

be required to agree to terms and conditions of their business.

5. Some Digital TV functions might be unavailable in some countries or regions and DVB-C might not work correctly with some cable service providers.

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.

¦ Connecting to a Wired Network

You can attach your TV to your LAN using cable in three ways:

y 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 Cat

5 cable. See the diagram below.

y You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to a IP Sharer which is connected

to an external modem. Use Cat 5 cable for the connection. See the diagram below.

y 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 Cat 5 cable. See the diagram below. Note that the wall
outlet is attached to a modem or router elsewhere in your house.

TV Rear Panel

The LAN Port on the Wall

LAN Cable

If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports 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 don’t 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.

¦ Connecting to a Wireless Network

To connect your TV to your network wirelessly, you need a wireless router or modem and a Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter
(WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN), which you connect to your TV’s back or side panel USB jack. See the illustration
below.

To use the SWL(Samsung Wireless Link) function, connect to the USB 1 (HDD) port.

✎

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select 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 the video over a IEEE 802.11B/G connection, the video may not play
smoothly.

✎

NOTE

You must use the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN) to use a wireless

x

network.
Samsung’s Wireless LAN Adapter is sold separately. The Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter is offered by select

x

retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com.
To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP sharer supports

x

DHCP, your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.
Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer

x

is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.
If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.

x

If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP-

x

AES (WPS2Mixed) for your AP, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification
specifications.

If your AP supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network via PBC (Push Button

x

Configuration) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in
either mode.

If your router, modem, or device isn’t certified, it may not connect to the TV via the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.”

x

Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection six ways.

x

– Samsung Auto Configuration
– PBC (WPS)
– Auto Setup (Using the Auto Network Search function)
– Manual Setup
– SWL(Samsung Wireless Link)
– Ad-Hoc
