Internet Security

Samsung takes a number of steps to protect its Internet-compatible Smart TVs against unauthorized incursions and hacking. For example, certain sensitive communications between the TV and the Internet servers are encrypted. In addition, the TV’s operating system has adopted controls to prevent the installation of unauthorized applications.

Although we take steps to protect your SmartTV and information, no Internet-connected device or transmission is completely secure. We therefore encourage you to take additional steps to safeguard your TV, secure your Internet connection, and minimize the risk of unauthorized access. These steps are listed below:

• When Samsung releases software updates to improve the security on your TV, you should promptly install these updates. To automatically receive these updates, turn on “Auto Update” in the T V ’s menu (Support > Software Update > Auto Update). When an update is available, a popup message appears on the TV screen. Accept the software download and update by selecting YES when prompted. Take steps to secure your wireless router and network. Your router’s manual should provide additional details about how to implement the following measures:

• Secure your wireless router’s management settings with a unique password to prevent unauthorized changes to security related settings.

• Implement standard encryption (e.g., WPA2 encryption) on your wireless router to secure your wireless network signal.

• Secure access to your wireless network with a hard-to-guess password.

• Confirm your router’s firewall setting is enabled (if so equipped).

• Make sure all your Internet connected devices are behind your network’s firewall.

• If your router or modem has a standby mode button, use it to disconnect your home network from the Internet when it is not in use.

• Use strong passwords for all your Internet accounts (Netflix, Facebook, Skype, etc.). If your TV has a camera, recess the camera into the TV’s bezel when it is not in use. Recessing the camera makes it inoperative.

• If any unexpected messages appear on your TV screen requesting permission to link a device or enable a remote session, do NOT accept.

• Do not visit suspicious web sites and do not install any suspicious programs. We recommend users install only those authorized apps provided by Samsung through Samsung Smart Hub.

MENU > System > Universal Remote Setup

The universal remote control feature lets you control cable boxes, Blu-ray players, home theaters, and other third-party external devices connected to the TV using the TV's remote control. For each external device you want to control, you must run the universal remote set up process. The first step in the process is connecting the IR extender cable (included) to the TV and positioning the transmitter end of the cable in front of the device you want to control.

Connecting the IR Extender Cable

‐ The color and design of the IR extender cable may vary depending on the model.

4 inches

To begin the universal remote set up process, connect the IR extender cable (included) to the TV's IR output connector as shown in the diagram, and then position the transmitter end within 4 inches (10 cm) of the external device's remote control sensor, pointing in the direction of the sensor.

There can be no obstacles between the transmitter end of the IR extender cable and the external device. Any obstacles will interfere with the transmission of the remote control signals.

Setting Up the Universal Remote Control

‐ If you want to control a set-top-box, you need to have your zip code and your cable provider's name and

location on hand before you begin. If you want to control a Blu-ray player or home theater, you need the manufacturer's name and model number.

Turn on the external device you want to control with the universal remote function.

Press the SOURCE button on your remote to bring up the Source screen.

Select the Universal Remote Setup icon.

‐ You can also start Universal Remote Setup through the TV's menu. Navigate to System > Universal

Remote Setup.

The TV checks if the IR extender cable is connected. If it confirms the connection, press the E button.

Select the type of device you want to control - set-top-box, Blu-ray player, or home theater.

Follow the directions on the screen to complete the set up and register the device. The directions will be different, depending on the device you want to control.

Once set up is complete and you have confirmed that you can use the TV remote to control the device, disconnect the IR extender cable from the TV and set it aside. You can now control the device directly with your remote.

Controlling an External Device with the TV Remote

During the universal remote set up process, the TV registers the connector (source) the external device is connected to. To control a registered external device with your TV's remote, select the external device on the Source List.

Press the SOURCE button on your remote.

Select the source the device is connected to (HDMI1, HDMI2, etc.).

Control the device with the remote. For example, if the device is a set-top-box, press the channel buttons on the remote to change the channel.
