Other Issues
Use these procedures to resolve other issues which 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 Captions item in the
TV menu is grayed out.
You cannot select the Caption menu if you have selected a source connected to
the TV via HDMI cable. To view captions, turn on the external device's caption
function.
The TV smells of plastic. This smell is normal and will dissipate over time.
The Signal Information
option 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 problem Try this!
The Broadcasting option
has been deactivated.
Broadcasting is only available when the Source is set to TV.
The Broadcasting menu cannot be accessed while you watch TV using a cable
box or satellite receiver.
The settings are lost
after 5 minutes or every
time the TV is turned off.
If the Use Mode is set to Store Demo, the TV's audio and video settings are
automatically reset every 5 minutes.
Change the Use Mode (MENU
More Support Use Mode) to Home Use.
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 on 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.
The PIP menu is not
available.
PIP functionality is only available when you are viewing video from an HDMI
source on the main screen.
A POP (TV’s internal
banner ad) appears on
the screen.
Change the Use Mode (MENU
More Support Use Mode) to Home Use.
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 utilizes 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.

Precautions for wireless Internet
●
This TV supports the IEEE 802.11a/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.
"
The 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 a 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. The TV cannot connect to
non-certified wireless routers.
●
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.

Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported
Resolutions)
Check these Supported Resolutions before connecting a computer to the TV.
"
Because of the design of the TV, part of the screen may be hidden by the frame.
When you connect your TV to a computer, set the computer's video card to one of the standard
resolutions listed in the tables below or on the next page. The TV will automatically adjust to the
resolution you choose. Note that the optimal and recommended resolution is 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz.
Choosing a resolution not included in the tables can result in a blank screen or just the power indicator
turning on. Refer to the user manual of your graphics card for compatible resolutions.

Glossary
Explaining Terminology
●
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
●
ARC (Audio Return Channel)
ARC lets the TV output digital sound to an audio device and input digital sound from the same
audio device through one HDMI cable. However, ARC is only available through the HDMI (ARC)
port and only when the TV is connected to an ARC-enabled AV receiver.
●
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.
●
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.
●
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-distance wireless communication protocol allowing information exchange
between connected mobile phones, laptops, earphones and headphones with Bluetooth-
compatible devices. It is mostly used for low-power wireless connections within a distance of
32.8 ft.
