If you have a Dynamic Network, you should 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 your TV needs to access the Internet so you do not
have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.
Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static
IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network
connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values,
contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a Windows computer,
you can also get these values through your computer.
N
You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a
Static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use Static
IP addresses.

Wireless Network Connection
Connecting to a Wireless Network
for PDP 550 Series and above
To connect your TV to your wireless network, you need a wireless router or
modem and a Samsung Wireless LAN adapter (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, or
WIS10ABGN), which you connect to your TV’s back or side panel USB jack. See
the illustration below.

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select
retailers, Ecommerce sites, and Samsungparts.com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN
adapter supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/c and n communication protocols. Samsung
recommends using IEEE 802.11n. When you play video over a network connection,
the video may not be played smoothly.
N
NOTE
You must use the “Samsung Wireless LAN adapter” (WIS09ABGN,
WIS09ABGN2, or WIS10ABGN) to use a wireless network.
To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer
(either a router or a modem). If the wireless IP sharer supports DHCP, your TV
can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.
background
English
Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the
channel set for the wireless IP sharer is currently being used by another device
nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.
Your TV supports the following wireless security systems only:
Authentication Mode : WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
Encryption Type : WEP, AES
If you select the Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode and the
Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP AES (WPS2Mixed) on your wireless
router, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-
Fi certification specifications.
background
English
If your AP supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the
network via PBC (Push Button Configuration) or PIN (Personal Identification
Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in either
mode.
If your router, modem, or device is not certified, it may not connect to the TV
via the “Samsung Wireless LAN adapter.”
Ensure the TV is turned off before you connect the Samsung Wireless LAN
adapter.
background
English
Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection in five
ways:
Auto Setup (Using the Auto Network Search function)
Manual Setup
WPS(PBC)
One Foot Connection
Plug & Access
The TV may not recognize the Samsung Wireless LAN adapter if it is connected
to the TV using a USB hub or USB extension cable other than the cable
supplied.
background
English
Notice
The picture may appear corrupted or have static on some channels when the TV
is connected to the Samsung Wireless LAN adapter. If this occurs, connect the
Samsung Wireless LAN adapter using a USB cable in a place that is not affected by
radio interference.
To connect the Samsung Wireless LAN adapter using the extension cable, follow
these steps:
1. Connect the extension cable to the USB port.
2. Connect the extension cable and Samsung
Wireless LAN adapter.
3. Attach the Samsung Wireless LAN adapter
to the back of the TV near the top, using
double-sided adhesive tape.
The displayed image may differ depending on the

Automatic Network Setup
Most wireless networks have an optional security system that requires devices that
access the network to transmit an encrypted security code called an Access or
Security Key. The Security Key is based on a Pass Phrase, typically a word or a
series of letters and numbers of a specified length you were asked to enter when
you set up security for your wireless network. If you use this method of setting up
the network connection, and have a Security Key for your wireless network, you
will have to enter the Pass Phrase during during the the automatic or manual setup
process.

Samsung wireless routers are optimized to stream HD AV to Samsung DTVs.
This Priority QOS function is unique to Samsung wireless routers.
You can connect a Samsung wireless router to many devices, such as laptops,

Samsung wireless router, the Samsung wireless router gives the Samsung TV a
priority connection.
This ensures you get the highest quality streaming contents and the fastest
throughput speed.
Priority QOS makes your TV faster by giving it priority bandwidth. (Priority QOS is
optional. You can turn it on and off.)
Because your Samsung TV has a priority connection, you can enjoy HD content
without buffering.

If Your TV Fails to Connect to the Internet
Your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet because your ISP has
permanently registered the MAC address (a unique identifying number) of your PC
or modem, which it then authenticates each time you connect to the Internet as a
way of preventing unauthorized access. As your TV has a different MAC address,
your ISP can not authenticate its MAC address, and your TV can not connect.
To resolve this problem, ask your ISP about the procedures required to connect
devices other than a PC (such as your TV) to the Internet.
If your Internet service provider requires an ID or password to connect to the
Internet, your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet. If this is the case, you
must enter your ID or password when connecting to the Internet.
The internet connection may fail because of a firewall problem. If this is the case,
contact your Internet service provider.
If you cannot connect to the Internet even after you have followed the procedures
of your Internet service provider, please contact Samsung Electronics at

TroubleShooting
If the TV seems to have a problem, first review this list of problems and solutions. If
none of these troubleshooting tips apply, visit samsung.com, then click on Support, or
call Samsung customer service at 1-800-SAMSUNG.
Issues Solutions and Explanations
Picture Quality First, perform the Picture Test and to see if your TV is properly displaying
the test image.
Go to MENU - Support - Self Diagnosis - Picture Test
If the test image is properly displayed, the poor picture may be caused by
the source or signal.
The TV image does not look as
good as it did in the store.
Store displays are typically tuned to digital, HD (high definition) channels.
If you have an analog cable/set top box, upgrade to a digital set top box.
Use HDMI or Component cables to deliver HD (high definition) picture
quality.
Cable/Satellite subscribers: Try HD stations from the channel line up.
Antenna connection: Try HD stations after performing an Auto program.

Issues Solutions and Explanations
The picture is distorted: macro
block error, small block, dots,
pixelization
The compression of video contents may cause picture distortion
especially in fast moving pictures such as sports and action movies.
A weak signal can cause picture distortion. This is not a TV issue.
Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 3.3 ft.) may cause noise in
the picture on analog and digital channels.
Color is wrong or missing.
If you’re using a component connection, make sure the component
cables are connected to the correct jacks. Incorrect or loose connections
may cause color problems or a blank screen.
There is poor color or the
picture is not bright enough.
Adjust the Picture options in the TV menu (go to Picture Mode / Color /
Brightness / Sharpness)
Adjust the Energy Saving option in the TV menu (go to MENUSystem
Eco SolutionEnergy Saving)
Try resetting the picture to view the default picture settings (go to MENU
- Picture - Reset Picture)
There is a dotted line on the
edge of the screen.
If the picture size is set to Screen Fit, change it to 16:9.

reconnect the AC cord and wait until the cable box reboots. It may take
up to 20 minutes.)
Set the output resolution of the cable box to 1080i or 720p.
Sound Problem First, perform a Sound Test to confirm that your TV audio is properly
operating. (go to MENU - Support - Self Diagnosis - Sound Test)
If the audio is OK, the sound problem may caused by the source or signal.

option (Ex. You may need to change your cable box’s audio option to
HDMI if you have the box connected to the TV using an HDMI cable.)
If you are using a DVI to HDMI cable, a separate audio cable is required.
If your TV has a headphone jack, make sure there is nothing plugged into
it.
Reboot the connected device by disconnecting, and then reconnecting
device’s power cable.

upgrade will not proceed.
Others
Purple/green rolling horizontal
bars and buzzing noise from the
TV speakers with Component
cable connection.
Remove the left and right audio connections from the set-top-box. If the
buzzing stops, this indicates that the set-top-box has a grounding issue.
Replace the Component video cables with an HDMI connection.
Plasma TV is making humming
noise.
Plasma TVs typically make a soft humming sound. This is normal. It’s
caused by the electrical charges that are used to create the images on
the screen.
If the humming sound is loud, you may have set the brightness on the TV
too high. Try setting the brightness lower.
You can also have loud humming if the back of your Plasma TV is too
close to a wall or other hard surface. Also, try rerouting your connection
cables.
An improperly installed of wall mount can also create excessive noise.

aspect ratios different from your TV.
Adjust the picture size options on your external device or TV to full

Image Retention (Burn In) Issue.
To minimize the possibility of screen burn, this unit is equipped with Pixel
Shift screen burn reduction technology. Pixel Shift lets you set the picture
so it moves slightly up and down (Vertical Line) and side to side (Horizontal
Dot). The regular, slight movement of the picture reduces screen burn in.
