" The number of connectors and their names and locations may differ with the model.
" Refer to the external device's operating manual when connecting it to the Evolution Kit. The number of external device
connectors and their names and locations may differ with the manufacturer.
Connection notes for HDMI
● The following types of HDMI cables are recommended:
– High-Speed HDMI Cable
– High-Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet
● Use an HDMI cable with a thickness of 0.66 inches (17 mm) or less.
● Using a non-certified HDMI cable may result in a blank screen or a connection error.
● Some HDMI cables and devices may not be compatible with the Evolution Kit due to different HDMI
specifications.
● The Evolution Kit does not support HDMI Ethernet Channel. Ethernet is a Local Area Network (LAN) built with
coaxial cables standardized by the IEEE.
● Use a cable shorter than 10 feet (3 m) to get the best UHD viewing quality.
● The Evolution Kit does not support the ARC and MHL functions.
● Many computer graphics adaptors do not have HDMI ports, but have DVI ports instead. If your PC does not
support HDMI video out, connect your PC with an HDMI-DVI cable.

Connection notes for audio devices
● For better audio quality, it is a good idea to use an AV receiver to Samsung TV. However, the Evolution Kit does
not support receiver connection via HDMI (ARC).
● If you connect an external audio device using an optical cable, the Sound Output setting is automatically
changed to the connected device. However, to make this happen, you must turn on the external audio device
before connecting the optical cable. To manually change the Sound Output setting, do one of the following:
– Use the Quick Settings screen to change to the connected device:
Use the Select button to select Optical on the Sound Output menu. ( Settings up directional
button Sound Output).
– Use the Settings screen to change to the connected device:
Select Optical on the Sound Output menu. ( Settings Sound Sound Output).
● An unusual noise coming from a connected audio device while you are using it may indicate a problem with
the audio device itself. If this occurs, ask for assistance from the audio device's manufacturer.
● Digital audio is only available with 5.1 channel broadcasts.

Connection notes for computers
● For the resolutions supported by the Evolution Kit, refer to "Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported
Resolutions)."
● As long as file sharing is activated, unauthorized access may occur. When you do not need to access data,
disable file sharing.
● If you want to connect your PC and the Evolution Kit wirelessly, both of them must be connected to each other
on the same network.
● When sharing content with other network-based devices such as those in an IP (Internet Protocol) storage
system, sharing may not be supported due to the network’s configuration, quality, or functionality, for
example, if the network has an NAS (Network-Attached Storage) device.
Connection notes for mobile devices
● To use the Smart View function, the mobile device must support a mirroring function such as Screen Mirroring
or Smart View. To check whether your mobile device supports the mirroring function, refer to the mobile
device's user manual.
● To use Wi-Fi Direct, the mobile device must support the Wi-Fi Direct function. To check whether your mobile
device supports Wi-Fi Direct function, refer to the mobile device's user manual.
● The mobile device and the Evolution Kit must be connected to each other on the same network.
● The video or audio may stop intermittently, depending on network conditions.
● When sharing content with other network-based devices such as those in an IP (Internet Protocol) storage
system, sharing may not be supported due to the network’s configuration, quality, or functionality, for

Precautions for wireless Internet
● The Evolution Kit supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. Samsung recommends
using IEEE 802.11n. Video files stored on a device connected to the Evolution Kit via a Home Network may not
play back smoothly.
" Some of the IEEE 802.11 communication protocols may not be supported depending on the model.
● To use wireless Internet, the Evolution Kit must be connected to a wireless router or modem. If the wireless
router supports DHCP, the Evolution Kit can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless
network.
● Select a channel that is not currently being used by the wireless router. If the channel set is currently being
used by the wireless router to communicate with 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 Evolution Kit only supports the following wireless network security protocols. The Evolution Kit 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, the Evolution Kit 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 Evolution Kit to your network using PBC (Push Button Configuration) or a PIN (Personal
Identification Number). WPS automatically configures the SSID and WPA key settings.
