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 K 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.
"Availability depends on the model.

Read Before Setting Up a Wireless Internet Connection
Wireless Internet Precautions
●This TV supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g /n communication protocols. Samsung recommends using
IEEE 802.11n. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via DLNA may not play back
smoothly.
●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
●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.
130
●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.
●Ethernet
Ethernet is a LAN (Local Area Network) that uses coaxial cables standardized 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 color 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 color-coded red (R), blue (B), and green (G) and offer the best
picture quality possible for an analog connection.
