Wireless Connectivity

To Connect to a Wireless Network

The TV cannot connect to the networks with a hidden SSID. To make your modem’s SSID visible, you should change your SSID settings via the modem’s software.

  1. Broadband ISP connection

A Wireless-N router (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n) with simultaneous 2.4 and 5 GHz bands is designed to increase bandwidth. These are optimized for smoother and faster HD video streaming, file transfers and wireless gaming.

  • The frequency and channel differ depending on the area.
  • The transmission speed differs depending on the distance and number of obstructions between the transmission products, the configuration of these products, the radio wave conditions, the line traffic and the products that you use. The transmission may also be cut off or may get disconnected depending on the radio wave conditions, DECT phones or any other WLAN 11b appliances. The standard values of the transmission speed are the theoretical maximum values for the wireless standards. They are not the actual speeds of data transmission.
  • 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.
  • You must change your modem’s SSID when there are any other modems around with the same SSID. You can encounter connection problems otherwise. Use a wired connection if you experience problems with a wireless connection.

Configuring Wireless Device Settings

Open the Network menu and select Network Type as Wireless Device to start connection process. Highlight Scan Wireless Networks option and press OK to start a search for available wireless networks. All found networks will be listed. Highlight your desired network from the list and press OK to connect.

If the selected network is password-protected, enter the correct key by using the virtual keyboard. You can use this keyboard via the directional buttons and the OK button on the remote control. Wait until the IP address is shown on the screen.

This means that the connection is now established. To disconnect from a wireless network, highlight Network Type and press Left or Right buttons to set as Disabled.

If your router has WPS, you can directly connect to the modem/router without entering a password or adding the network first. Highlight Press WPS on your wifi router option and press OK. Go to your modem/router device and press the WPS button on it to make the connection. You will see a connection confirmation on your TV once the devices have paired. Select OK to proceed. No further configuration is required.

Highlight Internet Speed Test and press the OK button to check your internet connection speed. Highlight Advanced Settings and press the OK button to open the advanced setting menu. Use directional and numeric buttons to set. Highlight Save and press the OK button to save settings when complete

Other Information

The status of the connection will be displayed as Connected or Not Connected and the current IP address, if a connection is established.

Connecting to your mobile device via WLAN

  • If your mobile device has WLAN feature, you can connect it to your TV via a router, in order to access the content in your device. For this, your mobile device must have an appropriate sharing software. Connect your TV to your router following the steps mentioned in the sections above.

Afterwards, connect your mobile device to the router and then activate the sharing software on your mobile device. Then, select files that you want to share with your TV. If the connection is established correctly, you will be able to access the shared files installed on your mobile device via the AVS(audio video sharing) feature of your TV.

Highlight the AVS option in the Sources menu and press OK, available media server devices in the network will be displayed. Select your mobile device and press the OK button to continue.

  • If available, you can download a virtual remote controller application from the server of your mobile device application provider.

  • Set the device to pairing mode
  • Start device discovery on the TV

Note: Refer to the user manual of the Bluetooth device to learn how to set the device to pairing mode.

You can connect audio devices or remote controllers to your TV using the Bluetooth wireless technology.

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.
  2. Connect to a Wired or Wireless Network See the Wired/Wireless Connectivity chapters for detailed configuration information.
  3. Enable Audio Video Sharing Enter the Settings>System>More menu and enable the AVS option.
  4. Play Shared Files via Media Browser Highlight the AVS option in the Sources menu by using the directional buttons and press OK. Available media server devices in the network will be listed. Select one and press OK to continue. The media browser will then be displayed.

Refer to the Media Browser menu section for further information on file playback.

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.

Note: There may be some PC’s which may not be able to utilize the Audio Video Sharing feature due to administrator and security settings (such as business PC’s).
