There Is a Problem with the Picture
Testing the picture
menu More Support Self Diagnosis Picture Test Try Now
Before you review the list of problems and solutions below, use Picture Test to determine if the
problem is caused by the TV. The 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 (menu
More System Eco Solution Energy Saving) or Eco Sensor (menu More
System Eco Solution Eco Sensor).
Screen Colour
If the colour on your Samsung television screen is not correct or the black and
white colours are off, run Picture Test (menu More Support Self Diagnosis
Picture Test).
If the test results indicate that the problem is not caused by the TV, do the
following:
●Confirm that the TV's video input connectors are connected to the correct
external device video output 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.
●Go to the Picture menu and adjust the Backlight, Contrast, Brightness,
Sharpness, Colour, and Tint (G/R) settings.
Ghosting, Blurring, or
Juddering
If you notice ghosting or blurring on the screen, use the Auto Motion Plus
function(menu More Picture Picture Options Auto Motion Plus) to
resolve the issue.
Unwanted Powering
Off
If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, try disabling some of the TV's
energy efficiency functions. See if Sleep Timer (menu More System Time
Sleep Timer) has been enabled. The Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV off
after a specified period of time. If the Sleep Timer has not been enabled, see if No
Signal Power Off (menu More System Eco Solution No Signal Power
Off) or Auto Power Off (menu More System Eco Solution Auto Power
Off) has been enabled and disable them.
Problems Powering On
When the TV is turned on, the remote control receiver flashes 5 times before the
screen turns on.
If you are having problems powering on your Samsung television, there are a
number of things to check before calling the service department. Confirm that the
TV's power cord is connected correctly at both ends and that the remote control
is operating normally. Make sure that the antenna cable or cable TV cable is firmly
connected. If you have a cable/satellite box confirm that it is plugged in and turned
on.
Unable to find a

The TV image does
not look as good as it
did in the store.
Store displays are all tuned to digital, HD (high definition) channels.
If you have an analogue cable/set top box, upgrade to a digital set top box. Use
HDMI cable to deliver HD (high definition) picture quality.
Many HD channels are upscaled from SD (Standard Definition) content. Look for a
channel that is broadcasting true HD content.
●Cable/Satellite Subscribers: Try HD channels from the channel lineup.
●Terrestrial/Cable Antenna Connection: Try HD channels after running the Auto
Tuning function.
Adjust the cable/satellite box's video output resolution to 1080i or 720p.
The picture is
distorted.
The compression of video content may cause picture distortions, especially in fast
moving pictures from sports programmes and action movies.
A weak or bad quality signal can cause picture distortions. This is not an issue with
the TV.
Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 1m) may cause noise in analogue and
digital channels.
The colour is poor
or the picture is not
bright enough.
Go to the Picture menu and then adjust the Picture Mode, Brightness, Sharpness,
and Colour settings.
See if Energy Saving (menu More System Eco Solution Energy Saving)
has been enabled.
Try resetting the picture. (menu More Picture Reset Picture)
There is a dotted line
on the edge of the
screen.
Change Picture Size to 16:9.
Change the cable/satellite box resolution.
"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 strength or refer to the external device’s user manual.

I Can't Hear the Sound Clearly
Testing the sound
menu More Support Self Diagnosis Sound Test Try Now
If the TV plays the Sound Test melody without distortion, there may be a problem with an external
device or the broadcast signal's strength.
The problem Try this!
There is no sound or
the sound is too low at
maximum volume.
Check the volume control of the device (cable/satellite box, DVD, Blu-ray, etc.)
connected to your TV.
Make sure that the TV and stand are properly aligned, according to the method
of installation.
The picture is good but
there is no sound.
Be sure to press the menu, and then select Speaker List TV Speaker.
If you are using an external device, check the device’s audio output option. (For
example, you may need to change your cable box’s audio option to HDMI if the

To listen to the computer sound, connect the external speaker to the computer’s
audio output connector.
If your TV has a headphone jack, make sure there is nothing plugged into it.
Reboot the connected device by disconnecting and then reconnecting the
device’s power cable.
The speakers are making
an odd sound.
Make sure that the audio cable is connected to the correct audio output
connector on the external device.
For antenna or cable connections, check the signal information. A low signal
level may cause sound distortions.
Run Sound Test (menu More Support Self Diagnosis Sound Test).
The speakers may play different sounds, depending on whether the stand is
installed. If the TV is installed without the stand, insert the rubber stoppers into
the screw holes in the stand.
●If the TV is installed with the stand and the screw holes in the stand are not
covered by rubber stoppers, sound may be fuzzy and indistinct.
●Do not misplace the rubber stoppers when the TV is installed with the stand.
●Make sure that the TV is installed on a flat surface.

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 (4:3) content.
Black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen when you watch
movies that have aspect ratios different from your 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 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.
"This function is only available on certain models in specific geographical areas.

Read before setting up a wireless Internet connection
Precautions for wireless Internet
●This TV supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac communication protocols. Samsung recommends
using IEEE 802.11n. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via 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.
–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.
●The TV cannot connect to non-certified wireless routers.

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 15.75Khz 31.5Khz
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.
146 147
●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 mobile phones, laptops, earphones and headphones with Bluetooth-
compatible devices. It is mostly used for low-power consuming wireless connections within a
very short-distance of 10m.
●Ethernet
Ethernet is a LAN (Local Area Network) that uses coaxial cables standardised by the IEEE.
