Before you review the list of problems and solutions below, use Start Picture Test to determine if the problem is
caused by the TV. Start Picture Test displays a high definition picture you can examine for flaws or faults.
The problem Try this!
Flickering and Dimming
If your Samsung Television is flickering or dimming sporadically, you may need to disable
some of the energy efficiency features. Disable Energy Saving Mode ( Settings

Settings General Eco Solution Ambient Light Detection), or Motion Lighting (
Settings General Eco Solution Motion Lighting).
Component Connections/
Screen Colour
If the colour on your Samsung television screen is not correct or the black and white colours
are off, run Start Picture Test ( Settings Support Self Diagnosis Start
Picture Test).
If the test results indicate that the problem is not caused by the TV, do the following:
●Confirm that the video input connectors are connected to the correct external device
video output connectors.
●Check the other connections as well. If the TV is connected to an external device via
a component cable, confirm that the Pb, Pr, and Y jacks are plugged into their proper
connectors.
Screen Brightness
If the colours on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright, try
adjusting the following settings first.
●Select Settings Picture Expert Settings and adjust the Backlight,
Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Colour, or Tint (G/R) settings.
Ghosting, Blurring, or
Juddering

The TV is hot.
Watching TV for an extended period of time causes the panel to generate heat. The heat
from the panel is dissipated through internal vents running along the top of the TV. The
bottom, however, may feel hot to the touch after extended use. Children watching TV need
constant adult supervision to prevent them from touching the TV. This heat, however, is not
a defect and does not affect the TV's functionality.
The picture won’t display in
full screen.
HD channels will have black bars on either side of the screen when displaying upscaled SD

"This function is only available on certain models in specific geographical areas.
Before using the recording and schedule recording functions
●To set up a Schedule Recording, you must first set the TV's clock. Set the Clock ( Settings General
System Manager Time Clock).
●You can set up a maximum total of 30 Schedule Viewing and Schedule Recording entries.
●Recordings are DRM-protected and therefore cannot be played back on a computer or on a different TV. In
addition, these files cannot be played back on your TV if its video circuit has been replaced.
●A USB hard drive with a speed of 5,400 rpm or above is recommended. However, RAID-type USB hard drives
are not supported.
●USB memory sticks are not supported.
●The total recording capacity may differ with the amount of available hard drive space and the recording
quality level.
- 105 -
●Schedule Recording requires at least 100 MB of free space on the USB storage device. Recording will stop if
the available storage space falls below 50 MB while recording is in progress.
●If the available storage space falls below 500 MB while both the Schedule Recording and Timeshift functions
are in progress, only the recording will stop.
●The maximum recording time is 720 minutes.
●Videos are played according to the TV settings.
●If the input signal is changed while recording is in progress, the screen will go blank until the change is made.
In this case, recording will resume, but will not be available.
●When using the Record or Schedule Recording function, the actual recording may start a second or two later
than the specified time.
●If the Schedule Recording function is operating while a recording is being made on an HDMI-CEC external
device, the priority is given to the Schedule Recording.
●Connecting a recording device to the TV automatically deletes abnormally saved recorded files.

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

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. 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 3840 x 2160 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.
"The native resolution is 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz with the HDMI UHD Color set to On. The native resolution is 3840 x 2160 at

Using Voice Interaction
A Guide to using Voice Interaction to control your TV.
To use Voice Interaction, your TV must be connected to the Internet and you must use the microphone on your
Samsung Smart Remote.
Voice Interaction lets you speak commands to control the TV, for example, to change the channel or display the
programme guide. This is not the same as Voice Guide which provides speech output from the TV that says what is
displayed on screen. Voice Guide is useful for people who cannot see or read the menu items on screen.
To use Voice Interaction, you press the button on the remote, say a command, such as "Guide", into the
microphone on your Samsung Smart Remote.
"This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical region.
Running Voice Interaction
Press and hold the button on the Samsung Smart Remote. The TV will respond, saying "Speak now". Say the
command you want, and then release the button. The TV will provide feedback about what it has understood, and
then carry out the action.
"If the TV cannot identify the command, try again with more precise pronunciation.
"This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical region.
Some useful commands are:
●Voice Guide on/off – turns the speech output on/off
●Audio description on/off – turns audio description on/off
●Guide – opens the programme guide
●Channel list – opens the channel list
●Volume up/down – changes the volume up/down
You can also search for videos on YouTube. Press and hold the button, and then say a phrase for example, “songs
by [name]”. This will bring up a list of video clips of songs by that artist.
"Voice Guide will voice a lot of information about the video. It is not yet possible to interrupt this and it will run over the first
few seconds of the video.
If you say a command which is not recognised, the TV will often try a search. Press to return to TV.
