Limitations on use of photo, video, and music files Try Now
- The TV supports MSC (Mass Storage Class) USB devices only. MSC is a class designation for mass storage devices. Types of MSC devices include external hard drives, flash card readers, and digital cameras. (USB hubs are not supported.) These kinds of devices must be connected directly to the USB port written in USB. The TV may not be able to recognize a USB device or read the files on the device if it is connected with a USB extension cable. Do not disconnect USB devices while they are transferring files.
- When connecting an external hard drive, use the USB (HDD) port. We recommend that you use an external hard drive with its own power adapter.
- 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 recognize some or all the devices. USB devices that use high-power input should be connect to the USB [5V, 1A] port.
• The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems. - After sorting files in the Folder view mode, the TV can display up to 1000 files per folder. If the USB device contains more than 8,000 files and folders, however, some files and folders might not be accessible.
- The PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) connection mode is available only for digital cameras. If you connect a smartphone or tablet to the TV using PTP mode, the TV will not recognize it.
- Certain files, depending on how they are encoded, may not play on the TV.

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 aicon 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 TV model. Refer to the lock's user manual for more information.

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.
IEEE 802.11 ac communication protocol is not available on certain models.
- 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)
Check the supported resolution 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 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.
