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.

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 display of still pictures can cause ghosting of the LED screen, which will affect image quality. To reduce the risk of this effect, please follow the recommendations below:

  • 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 the proper user manual section for details.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD USE THE 3D FUNCTION

WARNING

  • As the TV turns on, the left and right sides of 3D pictures may overlap more than usual. It may take time until the picture quality is optimized.
  • The 3D effect may be experienced differently depending on the viewer. You may not notice the 3D effect at all if you have a prescription for one eye that is very different from the other eye.
  • Parents' careful supervision is required particularly when children or teenagers view 3D images.
  • Photosensitive Seizure Warning and Other Health Risks

- Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke when exposed to certain flashing images or lights contained in certain television pictures or video games. If you or any of your relatives has a history of epilepsy or strokes, please consult with a medical specialist before using the 3D function.

  • Do not watch 3D pictures when you feel incoherent, sleepy, tired, or sick. Avoid watching 3D pictures for many hours.
  • Even those without a personal or family history of epilepsy or stroke may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause "photosensitive epileptic seizures."
  • If you experience any of the following symptoms, immediately stop watching 3D pictures and consult a medical specialist: (1) altered vision; (2) lightheadedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of awareness; (8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/or (10) disorientation. Parents should monitor and ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers may be more likely than adults to experience these symptoms.
  • Note that watching TV while sitting too close to the screen for an extended period of time may weaken your eyesight. • Note that watching TV while wearing 3D Active Glasses for an extended period of time may cause a headache or fatigue. If you feel headache, fatigue, or dizziness, stop watching TV and rest.
  • Some 3D pictures may startle viewers. The pregnant, elderly, epileptic, and those suffering from serious physical conditions are advised to avoid utilizing the unit's 3D functionality.
  • We don't recommend watching 3D if you are in bad physical condition, need sleep, or have been drinking liquor.

DO NOT use this product near open stairwells, cables, balconies, or other objects that can be tripped over, run into, knocked down, broken, or fallen over. Being startled or deluding yourself into thinking that the 3D images are real may cause you to crush a nearby object or get injured trying to move your body.

Basic Features

  • Do not use the 3D Active Glasses for any other purpose than for which it was designed. Wearing the 3D Active Glasses for any other purpose (as general spectacles, sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.) may physically harm you or weaken your eyesight.
  • Immersive video can potentially have adverse effects on the user including motion sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation, eye strain, and decreased postural stability. Take frequent breaks to lessen the potential of these effects. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if you have any of the above symptoms, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using it for at least thirty minutes after the symptoms have subsided.
  • The ideal viewing distance should be three times or more the height of the screen. We recommend sitting with viewer's eyes on a level with the screen.

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:

- 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.

The Modem Port on the Wall External Modem (ADSL / VDSL / Cable TV) Modem Cable (Not Supplied) LAN Cable (Not Supplied) TV Rear Panel LAN EX-Link ANT IN AVI LAN Adapter (Supplied)

- 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 a Cat 5 cable for the connection. See the diagram below.

The Modem Port on the Wall External Modem (ADSL / VDSL / Cable TV) IP Sharer (having DHCP server) Modem Cable (Not Supplied) LAN Cable (Not Supplied) LAN Cable (Not Supplied) TV Rear Panel LAN EX-LINK ANT IR AVI LAN Adapter (Supplied)

- 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.

The LAN Port on the Wall LAN Cable (Not Supplied) TV Rear Panel LAN EX-LINK ANT-IN R AUDIO L LAN L LAN Adapter (Supplied)

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.

Network Setup (Auto)

Use the Automatic Network Setup when connecting your TV to a network that supports DHCP. To set up your TV's cable network connection automatically, follow these steps:

NOTE

  • You must use the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN) to use a wireless network. Samsung's Wireless LAN Adapter is sold separately. The SAMSUNG Wireless LAN Adapter is offered by select retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com.
  • To use a wireless network, your TV must connect wirelessly 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.
  • 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 below, it will not work with the TV.
  • If you select the Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode and set your AP's Security Encryption type to WEP, TKIP or TKIPAES (WPS2Mixed), your Samsung TV will not support the 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 router, modem, or device isn't certified, it may not connect to the TV via the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.”
  • Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection six ways.
  • Samsung Auto Configuration - For non-Samsung devices.
  • PBC (WPS) – Auto Setup (Using the Auto Network Search function)
  • Manual Setup
  • SWL (Samsung Wireless Link) - For Samsung devices only.
  • Ad-Hoc

This function lets you connect your TV to a Samsung device (router, etc.) that supports PBC (WPS). You can connect the TV to the device even if a sharer is not connected to the TV.

For the TV to use Internet@TV, the AP (access point) must be connected to the wireless network. If a Samsung Wireless Lan Adapter is connected to the USB 2 port, the network may not operate normally. We recommend connecting it to the USB 1 (HDD) port. Only sharers using the 2.4 Ghz band are supported. Sharers using the 5 Ghz band are not supported.

  5. If the TV connects properly to the device after the count in the message box starts, then the message box disappears automatically. If the connection fails, please retry after 2 minutes.

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 cannot authenticate its MAC address, and your TV cannot 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.

Anynet+

What is Anynet+? TOOLS

Anynet+ is a function that enables you to control all connected Samsung devices that support Anynet+ with your Samsung TV's remote. The Anynet+ system can be used only with Samsung devices that have the Anynet+ feature. To be sure your Samsung device has this feature, check if there is an Anynet+ logo on it.

SAMSUNG UN46C8000 - What is Anynet+? TOOLS - 2

NOTE

  • Connect the Optical cable between the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on your TV and the Digital Audio Input on the Home Theater.
  • The ARC function enables digital output of sound using the HDMI IN 2(ARC) port and can only be operated when the TV is connected to an audio receiver that supports the ARC function.
  • When following the connection above, the Optical jack only outputs 2 channel audio. You will only hear sound from the Home Theater's Front, Left and Right speakers and the subwoofer. If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DVD / Satellite Box (i.e. Anynet Device 1 or 2) directly to the Amplifier or Home Theater, not the TV.
  • You can connect only one Home Theater.
  • You can connect an Anynet+ device using the HDMI cable. Some HDMI cables may not support Anynet+ functions.
  • Anynet+ works when the AV device supporting Anynet+ is in the standby or on status.
  • Anynet+ supports up to 12 AV devices in total. Note that you can connect up to 3 devices of the same type.
