3D precautions
[ Warning
●When viewing a 3D video under a fluorescent lamp (50 Hz – 60 Hz) or 3-wavelength lamp, you
may notice a small amount of screen flickering.
"If this symptom occurs, dim or turn off the light.
●Switching the input mode while watching a 3D movie may disable the 3D function on the TV.
"If this symptom occurs, the 3D glasses may automatically turn off.
●If you lie on your side while watching TV with 3D active glasses, the picture may appear dark or
may not be visible. The actual 3D effect may be experienced differently depending on the viewer.
The 3D effect may not be visible if the visual ability of your left eye differs greatly from the
visual ability of your right eye.
●If a part of the 3D glasses or lenses is defective or damaged, it cannot be repaired and the
glasses should be replaced. If the glasses stop working within the warranty period, the glasses
can be repaired or replaced for free. If the glasses have been damaged due to the fault of the
customer or the warranty period has expired, a new pair of glasses will have to be purchased.
●If the eye sight in one of your eyes differs greatly from the eye sight in the other eye, you may
perceive 3D effects to a lesser degree than other persons or may not perceive 3D effects at all.
●Ensure you are within the working distance of the glasses when you view a 3D video.
"The images may not be viewable in 3D if you move outside of the working distance for 3 seconds.
"If the 3D glasses are moved outside of their working distance, the signal from the TV will disconnect
and the glasses’ 3D function will turn off after several seconds. When this happens, the red LED will
turn on for 3 seconds.
160 161
●The 3D glasses may not work properly due to interference from other 3D products or electronic
devices that operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency such as a microwave oven or Internet AP. If
the 3D function malfunctions due to interference, please move all other electronic or wireless
communication devices as far away from the glasses and the TV as possible.
●The vividness of the image may appear degraded if you view 3D video in a place that is exposed
to direct sunlight or illumination.
●The 3D glasses may malfunction if there is an electric field or metallic object such as a steel
plate nearby. Keep the glasses as far away as possible from electric fields and metallic objects.
●With SSG-3570 model glasses, the glasses may power off if you remain stationary while viewing
3D video for an extended period of time.
●With SSG-3570 model glasses, if the 3D glasses do not function immediately after you put them
on when the TV is in 3D mode, take them off and then put them back on.
[ Caution
IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D IMAGES. READ THE FOLLOWING
CAUTIONS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD USE THE 3D FUNCTION.
●Adults should frequently check on children who are using the 3D function. If there are any
complaints of tired eyes, headaches, dizziness, or nausea, stop the child from viewing the 3D TV
and ensure that they rest.
●Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes such as general wear, sunglasses, protective
goggles, etc.
●Some viewers may experience discomfort such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches while
viewing 3D TV. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop viewing the 3D TV, remove the
3D glasses, and rest for awhile.
●Watching 3D pictures for an extended period of time may cause eye strain. If you experience any
eye strain, stop viewing the 3D TV, remove the 3D glasses, and rest for awhile.

not swallow any of the components. If your child swallows a component, consult your doctor
immediately.
162 163
●When cleaning the product, do not spray water or cleaner directly onto the surface of the
product. Spraying water or cleaner directly onto the glasses may result in fire or electric shock,
damage to the product’s surface, or cause the indicator labels on the product’s surface to come
loose.
●Do not apply chemicals containing alcohol, solvent, or surfactant such as wax, benzene, thinner,
pesticide, air freshener, lubricant, or cleaner to the product. These chemicals may cause the
product’s exterior to be discoloured or cracked, or labels or instructions to be removed. Use only
a soft cloth such as superfine fibers or cotton flannels for cleaning the product as the surface
or the lenses easily crack. Because the product can be easily scratched with foreign substances,
make sure to dust off the cloth before using.
●Do not disassemble, or attempt to repair or modify your 3D active glasses by yourself.
●Be careful not to let the temple ends of the 3D active glasses harm your eye.
●Do not sleep with the 3D glasses on. You can break the arms.
●Use your hands to put on or remove the 3D glasses.
●For SSG-5100 and SSG-5150 model glasses, use only the specified standard batteries. When
replacing the battery, insert the battery so that its polarity (+, –) is correct. Failing to do so may
damage the battery or result in fire, personal injury or environmental damage caused by liquid
leaking from the battery.
●For SSG-5100 and SSG-5150 model glasses, keep the used battery out of the reach of children
so that they do not accidently swallow it. If your child swallows the battery, consult your doctor
immediately.
●Swallowing the cylindrical (button type) battery can cause serious damage to your internal
organs. If this happens, contact a doctor immediately.

Voice Recognition
●Voice Recognition is not available in all languages, dialects, or regions. The performance differs
with the language chosen, voice volume, and ambient noise levels in the surrounding area.
●Voice Text Input requires that you agree to any third-party app’s voice privacy policy.
●Voice Text Input lets you enter text using voice commands instead of a mouse, keyboard, or
remote control. This feature is particularly useful for searching, browsing the web, and using
applications.
●You must agree to the following privacy notices before using Interactive Voice Recognition:
–Voice Recognition Privacy Notice, Nuance Privacy Notice
Requirements for using voice, motion, or face recognition
Requirements for using voice recognition
●The voice recognition rate differs with the volume/tone, pronunciation, and ambient sound
environment (TV sound and ambient noise).
●Say the command 1.2m to 1.8m from the microphone on the Samsung Smart Control. The
optimal volume for voice commands is between 75 dB and 80 dB.
168 169
Requirements for using motion recognition
●Be sure to use Motion Control within recommended distances:
–TV Camera (Built-in): between 1.5m and 3.5m
–TV Camera (Sold Separately): between 1.5m and 4m
●The actual recognition range may differ with the camera angle and other factors.
●You must be located within a range of camera lens, because Motion Control relies on the TV's
built-in camera. Adjust the camera's angle using the wheel on the back of the camera. Do not
point the camera directly at the sun or any other light source or obstruct its view.
●For the camera to recognise movement, you must stand out from the background.
●The appropriate ambient brightness is 50 to 500 lux. (100 Lux: Bathroom, 400 Lux: Living Room)
●Avoid direct sunlight when using Motion Control.
●Run the Motion Control Environment Test to assess the camera's recognition range before using
Motion Control.
Requirements for using face recognition
●Be sure to use Face Recognition within recommended distances:
–TV Camera (Built-in): between 1.5m and 3.5m
–TV Camera (Sold Separately): between 1.5m and 4m
●The actual recognition range may differ with the camera angle and other factors.
●The appropriate ambient brightness is 50 to 500 lux. (100 Lux: Bathroom, 400 Lux: Living Room)
●Face Recognition can recognise up to 5 different users at a time.
●The TV may have difficulty recognising twins and people with similar faces as two different
individuals.
170
●Note the following when using Face Recognition:
–Do not cover your face with a hat, a pair of sunglasses, or your hair.
–Your entire face must be visible to the camera. Avoid shadows over your face. Shadows
prevent the camera from recognising faces accurately.
–Keep your expression as neutral as possible. In addition, keep your mouth closed and as
neutral as possible.
–When you log into your Samsung account, your facial expression must be the same as the
facial expression you had when you registered.

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.

●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.
●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 colour 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 colour-coded red (R), blue (B), and green (G) and offer the best
picture quality possible for an analogue connection.
