Read before setting up a wireless Internet connection

Precautions for wireless Internet

- This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via a Home Network may not play back smoothly.

Some of the IEEE 802.11 communication protocols may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.
QN9**A Series supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac /ax communication protocols.
For models other than the QN9**A Series, Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n.

- To use wireless Internet, the TV must be connected to a wireless access point or modem. If the wireless access point supports DHCP, the TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

- Select a channel that is not currently being used by the wireless access point. If the channel set is currently being used by the wireless access point to communicate with another device, the result is usually interference and/or a communications failure.

- Most wireless networks have an optional security system. To enable a wireless network's security system, you need to create a password using characters and numbers. This password is then needed to connect to a security-enabled access point.

Wireless security protocols

The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols. The TV cannot connect to non-certified wireless access point.

– Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

– Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES

In compliance with the Wi-Fi certification specifications, Samsung TVs do not support WEP or TKIP security encryption in networks running in the 802.11n mode. If the wireless access point supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect the TV to your network using PBC (Push Button Configuration) or a PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS automatically configures the SSID and WPA key settings.

USB (HDD 5V 1A) port is supported by some models.

- Certain digital cameras and audio devices may not be compatible with the TV.

- If there are multiple USB devices connected to the TV, the TV might not be able to recognise some or all the devices. USB devices that use high-power input should be connect to the USB (HDD 5V 1A) port.

USB (HDD 5V 1A) port is supported by some models.

Installing an anti-theft lock

An anti-theft lock is a physical device that can be used to protect the TV against theft. Look for the lock slot on the back of the TV. The slot has a icon next to it. To use the lock, wrap the lock cable around an object that is too heavy to carry and then thread it through the TV's lock slot. The lock is sold separately. The method of using an anti-theft lock may differ for each model. Refer to the lock's user manual for more information.

This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.

Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported Resolutions)

Check the resolutions supported for PC input signals.

When you connect your TV to a computer, set the computer's video card to one of the standard resolutions listed in the tables below. The TV will automatically adjust to the resolution you choose. Note that the optimal and recommended resolutions are 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (UHD models) and 7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz (QN7**A Series or higher). Choosing a resolution not included in the tables can result in a blank or flickering screen or can turn on only the receiver of the remote control. Refer to the user manual of your graphics card for compatible resolutions.

The native resolutions are 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (UHD models) and 7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz (QN7**A Series or higher) with the Input Signal Plus set to On. The native resolution is 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz with the Input Signal Plus set to Off.

Before you review the list of problems and solutions below, use Picture Test to determine if the problem is caused by the TV. Picture Test displays a high definition picture you can examine for flaws or faults.

If the test picture does not appear or there is noise or distortion, the TV may have a problem. Contact Samsung's Call Centre for assistance.
If the test picture is displayed properly, there may be a problem with an external device. Please check the connections.
If the problem persists, check the Signal Information or refer to the external device's user manual.

The TV image does not look as good as it did in the store.	Store displays are tuned to a digital UHD channel or HD channel.Change the output resolution of your devices such as digital broadcast receiver, IPTV and set-top box to UHD or HD.Be sure to use an HDMI cable to enjoy high quality videos.• Service Connection Guide Video Device HDMI >To connect the TV with your PC, make sure that your PC's graphic card supports UHD resolutions.For more information about the supported UHD resolutions, refer to "Supported Resolutions for UHD Input Signals".For more information about the supported 8K resolutions, refer to "Resolutions for Input Signals supported by 8K models (QN7**A series or higher)".Make sure that the set-top box or cable box supports the content or broadcast for UHD and set the resolution. For more information, contact your service provider.When using a Samsung TV Plus channel, check the network connection. When the network speed is slow, the app may not work or the image quality may be poor.
The picture is distorted.	The compression of video content may cause picture distortions, especially in fast moving pictures from sports programmes and action movies.If the signal reception is weak or poor, screen distortion may be visible but it is not a malfunction.Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 1 m) may cause noise on analogue and digital channels.
