●If you connect an external audio device using an optical cable, the Sound Output setting is automatically
changed to the connected device. However, to make this happen, you must turn on the external audio device
before connecting the optical cable. To manually change the Sound Output setting, do one of the following:
–Use the Quick Settings screen to change to the connected device:
Use the Select button to select Audio Out/Optical on the Sound Output menu. ( Settings up
directional button Sound Output).
–Use the Settings screen to change to the connected device:
Select Audio Out/Optical on the Sound Output menu. ( Settings Sound Sound Output).
●An unusual noise coming from a connected 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.

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.
"Some of the IEEE 802.11 communication protocols may not be supported depending on the model.
●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
The TV cannot connect to non-certified wireless routers.
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.
