  • The location where the transmission is most effective differs depending on the usage environment.
  • The Wireless feature of the TV supports 802.11 a,b,g & n type modems. It is highly recommended that you should use the IEEE 802.11n communication protocol in order to avoid any possible problems while watching videos.

Wake ON

Wake-on-LAN (WoL) and Wake-on-Wireless LAN (WoWLAN) are standards that allow a device to be turned on or woken up by a network message. The message is sent to the device by a program executed on a remote device connected to the same local area network, such as a smartphone.

Your TV is WoL and WoWLAN compatible. This feature might be disabled during the First Time Installation process. To enable this feature set the Wake On option in the Network menu as On. It is necessary that both the device, from which the network message will be sent to the TV, and the TV are connected to the same network. Wake On feature is only supported for Android OS devices and can only be used via YouTube and Netflix applications.

In order to use this feature the TV and the remote device should be connected at least once while the TV is on. If the TV is powered off, the connection should be re-established, the next time it is switched on. Otherwise this feature will be unavailable. This does not apply, when the TV is switched into the standby mode.

The performance of some devices in the market, may vary due to the software architecture. In order to use Wake On feature with a better performance, please make sure that your device has latest firmware version.

If you want your TV to consume less power in standby mode, you can disable this feature by setting the Wake On option as Off.

Connectivity Troubleshooting

Wireless Network Not Available

  • Ensure that any firewalls of your network allow the TV wireless connection.
  • Try searching for wireless networks again, using the Network menu screen.

If the wireless network does not function properly, try using the wired network in your home. Refer to the Wired Connectivity section for more information on the process.

If the TV does not function using the wired connection, check the modem (router). If the router does not have a problem, check the internet connection of your modem.

Connection is Slow

See the instruction book of your wireless modem to get information on the internal service area, connection speed, signal quality and other settings. You need to have a high speed connection for your modem.

Disruption during playback or slow reactions

You could try the following in such a case:

Keep at least three meters distance from microwave ovens, mobile telephones, Bluetooth devices or any other WLAN compatible devices. Try changing the active channel on the WLAN router

Internet Connection Not Available / Audio Video Sharing Not Working

If the MAC address (a unique identifier number) of your PC or modem has been permanently registered, it is possible that your TV might not connect to the internet. In such a case, the MAC address is authenticated each time when you connect to the internet. This is a precaution against unauthorized access. Since your TV has its own MAC address, your internet service provider cannot validate the MAC address of your TV. For this reason, your TV cannot connect to the internet. Contact your internet service provider and request information on how to connect a different device, such as your TV, to the internet.

It is also possible that the connection may not be available due to a firewall problem. If you think this causes your problem, contact your internet service provider. A firewall might be the reason of a connectivity and discovery problem while using the TV in Audio Video Sharing mode or while browsing via Audio Video Sharing feature.

Invalid Domain

Ensure that you have already logged on to your PC with an authorized username/password and also ensure that your domain is active, prior to sharing any files in your media server program on your PC. If the domain is invalid, this might cause problems while browsing files in Audio Video Sharing mode.

Using Audio Video Sharing Network Service

Audio Video Sharing feature uses a standard that eases the viewing process of digital electronics and makes them more convenient to use on a home network.

This standard allows you to view and play photos, music and videos stored in the media server connected to your home network.

1. Server Software Installation

The Audio Video Sharing feature cannot be used if the server programme is not installed onto your PC or if the required media server software is not installed onto the companion device. Prepare your PC with a proper server programme.

If a problem occurs with the network, switch your television off at the wall socket and back on again. Trick mode and jump are not supported with the Audio Video Sharing feature.

PC/HDD/Media Player or any other devices that are compatible should be used with a wired connection for higher playback quality.

Use a LAN connection for quicker file sharing between other devices like computers.
