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.

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.

to recognise a USB device or read the files on the device if it is connected with a USB extension cable. Do not
disconnect USB devices while they are transferring files.
●When connecting an external hard drive, use the USB (HDD) port. We recommend that you use an external
hard drive with its own power adapter.
●Certain digital cameras and audio devices may not be compatible with the TV.

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.
