Other Issues
Use these procedures to resolve other issues that may occur.
The problem Try this!
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.
Adjust the picture size options on your external device or set the TV to full screen.
The "Mode Not Supported"
message appears.
The output resolution of the attached device is not supported by the TV. Check the TV's
supported resolutions and adjust the external device’s output resolution accordingly.
The Subtitles item in the TV
is greyed out.
When an external device is connected with an HDMI or Component cable, the Subtitle
function is unavailable. Adjust the subtitle setting on the external device.
The TV smells of plastic. This smell is normal and will dissipate over time.
Signal Information under
Self Diagnosis isn't
activated.
Verify that the current channel is a digital channel.
Signal Information is only available for digital channels.
The TV is tilted to the side. Remove the base stand from the TV and reassemble it.
The stand is wobbly or
crooked. Make sure the indicator arrows on the stand and stand holder are properly aligned.
The remote control and/or
voice control does not work.
The TV ships with protective stickers covering some of the sensors. Make sure all of the
stickers have been removed.

The Broadcasting function
has been deactivated.
Broadcasting is only available when the Source is set to TV.
Broadcasting cannot be accessed while you watch TV using a cable or satellite box.
Broadcasting cannot be accessed while a recording is in progress or the Timeshift function
is running.
There is an intermittent loss
of audio or video.
Check the cable connections and reconnect them.
Loss of audio or video can be caused by using overly rigid or thick cables.
Make sure the cables are flexible enough for long term use. If you are mounting the TV to a
wall, we recommend using cables with 90-degree connectors.
There are small particles on
the TV's bezel. This is part of the product’s design and is not a defect.
PIP is not available. PIP is available only when an external device is connected with an HDMI or Component
cable. Note that the function is unavailable when the Smart Hub is active.
The settings are lost after
5 minutes or every time the
TV is turned off.
If Usage Mode is set to Retail Mode, the TV's audio and video settings are automatically
reset every 5 minutes.
Change Usage Mode ( Settings General System Manager Usage Mode) to
Home Mode.
A POP (TV’s internal banner
ad) appears on the screen.
Change Usage Mode ( Settings General System Manager Usage Mode) to
Home Mode.
The TV is making a popping
noise.
The expansion and contraction of the TV's outer casing may cause a popping noise. This does
not indicate a product malfunction. The TV is safe to use.
The TV is making a
humming noise.
Your TV utilises high-speed switching circuits and high levels of electrical current.
Depending on the TV's brightness level, the TV may seem slightly noisier than a
conventional TV.
Your TV has undergone strict quality control procedures that meet our demanding
performance and reliability requirements.
Some noise coming from the TV is considered normal and is not an acceptable cause for an
exchange or refund.

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.

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.
–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.

few seconds of the video.
