Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

✎

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms. Wide screen format LED Displays (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to ﬁll the screen if your model offers this feature and the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark sidebars on no expanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing per week. Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of LED Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LED models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view different formats as a full screen picture. Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven LED aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as burned in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

Still image warning

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

• Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

• Always try to display a full screen image.

• Reducing brightness and contrast will help to avoid the appearance of after-images.

• Use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn, refer to proper user manual section for details.

Connecting to an AV Device

✎

The product color and shape may vary depending on the model.

Using an HDMI or HDMI/DVI cable: HD connection (up to 1080p)

Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, HD cable box, HD STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver

✎

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

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

If an external device such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / HD cable box / HD STB satellite receiver supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 is connected, the TV may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display / no sound / annoying flicker / abnormal color).

If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you suspect the version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HDMI version and request an upgrade.

It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certified cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a connection error may occur.

Using a Component (up to 1080p) or Audio/Video (480i only) Cable

Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, cable box, STB satellite receiver, VCR

✎

COMPONENT IN / AV IN: When connecting to AV IN, the color of the AV IN [Y/VIDEO] jack (green) will not

match the video cable (yellow).

✎

To obtain the best picture quality, the Component connection is recommended over the A/V connection.

✎

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)

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

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

When the receiver (amplifier or DVD 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 amplifier or DVD home theater. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the amplifier or DVD home theater. If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / 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 / DVD home theater.

When connecting, use the appropriate connector.

When an audio amplifier is connected 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.

 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.

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), which you connect to your TV’s back or side panel USB jack. See the illustration below.

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) to use a wireless network.

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately. The WIS09ABGN Wireless LAN adapter is offered by select 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 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 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 blow, it will not work with the TV.

If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIPAES (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 Configuration) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in either mode.

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.
