  • An unusual noise coming from the audio device while you are using it may indicate a problem with the audio device itself. If this occurs, ask for assistance from the audio device's manufacturer.
    • Digital audio is only available with 5.1-channel broadcasts.

Connection notes for computers

  • For the resolutions supported by the TV, refer to "Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported Resolutions)."

Precautions for wireless Internet

  • This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via a Home Network may not play back smoothly.
  • To use wireless Internet, the TV must be connected to a wireless router or modem. If the wireless router 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 in use for the wireless router. If the channel set for the wireless router is currently being used by 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 AP.

Wireless security protocols

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

  • Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
  • Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES

In compliance with the newest 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 router 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.

Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported Resolutions)

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 or on the next page. The TV will automatically adjust to the resolution you choose. Note that the optimal and recommended resolution is 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. Choosing a resolution not included in the tables can result in a blank screen or just the power indicator turning on. Refer to the user manual of your graphics card for compatible resolutions.

Glossary

• 480i / 480p / 720p / 1080i / 1080p

Generally refers to the number of effective scanning lines that determines the screen's resolution. There are two scanning methods: interlaced and progressive.

- Scanning

Sequential projection of pixels to form images. The higher the number of pixels, the clearer and more vivid the images.

- Progressive

A sequential scanning method that scans every line, one after another.

- Interlaced

A staggered scanning method that scans every other line until the end of the screen and then fills in the remaining lines.

Example) If the number of horizontal scan lines is 480i

Scans 240 lines from start to finish and then scans the remaining 240 lines for a total of 480 lines.

* General differences between 480i and 480p are as follows:

480i 480p
Horizontal Frequency 15.75Khz31.5Khz
FPS 30 60
Lines on Screen 480 480

• ARC (Audio Return Channel)

ARC lets the TV output digital sound to an audio device and input digital sound from the same audio device through one HDMI cable. However, ARC is only available through the HDMI (ARC) port and only when the TV is connected to an ARC-enabled AV receiver.

• DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

Connecting the TV's DVI connector to a computer's DVI connector via an HDMI-to-DVI cable lets you use the TV as a computer monitor. However, HDMI-to-DVI cables deliver video signals only. You must connect a set of speakers to the computer using a separate cable to hear the computer's audio.

• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a method of transmitting both video and audio signals via a single cable.

• Dynamic versus Static IP Addresses

If the network requires a dynamic IP address, use an ADSL modem or router that supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values the TV needs to access the Internet, so they do not have to be entered manually. Most home networks use a dynamic IP address.

If the network requires a static IP address, enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually when setting up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

If the network requires a static IP address, use an ADSL modem that supports DHCP. ADSL modems that support DHCP also allow static IP addresses.

- Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-distance wireless communication protocol allowing information exchange between connected Bluetooth compatible mobile phones, laptops, earphones and headphones. It is mostly used for low-power wireless connections within a distance of 10 m.

- Ethernet

Ethernet is a LAN (Local Area Network) that uses coaxial cables standardized by the IEEE.

• Component Connection

Component connections are mostly used for game consoles and transmit the video signal by splitting it into a luminance signal (Y) and two color signals (Pb and Pr). The connector is marked as [Component IN]_(Pr, Pb, Y) on the back of the TV. On some devices, it is sometimes marked as Cr, Cb, Y. Cb and Cr are the digital conversions of the Pb and Pr signals.

The connectors are normally color-coded red (R), blue (B), and green (G) and offer the best picture quality possible for an analog connection.
