Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)

What is <Anynet+>?

<Anynet+> is a function that enables you to control all connected Samsung devices that support <Anynet+> with your Samsung TV‘s remote. The <Anynet+ > system can be used only with Samsung devices that have the <Anynet+> feature. To be sure your Samsung device has this feature, check if there is an <Anynet+> logo on it.

Connecting Anynet+ Devices

3-5

1. Connect the [HDMI IN] jack on the TV and the HDMI OUT jack of the corresponding <Anynet+> device using an HDMI cable.

2. Connect the [HDMI IN] jack of the home theatre and the HDMI OUT jack of the corresponding <Anynet+> device using an

HDMI cable.

Using the Product

Connect the Optical cable between the [DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)] jack on your TV and the Digital Audio Input on the Home Theatre.

When following the connection above, the Optical jack only outputs 2 channel audio. You will only hear sound from the

Home Theatre‘s Front Left and Right speakers and the subwoofer. If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect the

[DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)] jack on the DVD / Satellite Box (ie Anynet Device 1 or 2) directly to the Amplifier or

Home Theatre, not the TV.

Connect only one Home Theatre.

You can connect an <Anynet+> device using the HDMI 1.3 cable. Some HDMI cables may not support <Anynet+> functions.

<Anynet+> works when the AV device supporting <Anynet+> is in the Standby or On status.

<Anynet+> supports up to 10 AV devices in total. Note that you can connect up to 3 devices of the same type.

• < Signal Information > (digital channels only)

Unlike analogue channels, which can vary in reception quality from snowy to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analogue channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels

If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength. Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the strongest signal.

• <By USB>

Insert a USB drive containing the firmware upgrade downloaded from samsung.com into the TV.

Please be careful to not disconnect the power or remove the USB drive while upgrades are being applied. The TV will turn off and turn on automatically after completing the firmware upgrade.

Please check the firmware version after the upgrades are complete (the new version will have a higher number than the older version).

When software is upgraded, video and audio settings you have made will return to their default

(factory) settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the upgrade.

• <By Channel>

Upgrades the software using the broadcasting signal.

• <Standby Mode Upgrade>

To continue software upgrade with master power on, Select On by pressing the ▲ or ▼ button. 45 minutes after entering standby mode, a manual upgrade is automatically conducted. Since the power of the unit is turned on internally, the screen may be on slightly for the LED product. This phenomenon may continue for more than 1 hour until the software upgrade is completed.

• <Alternative Software>(Backup)

Digital TV broadcasting generates less noise and provides clearer visuals and sound than analog TV broadcasting does. As services develop, you can also enjoy various information services because various kinds of data besides video and audio can be sent.

For example, while watching a sports game, you can view information on your favorite player or you can view all or selected screens which have been captured from different angles for a specific scene. In addition, you can receive information on a previous story or drama or you can buy home shopping products such as an accessory currently on TV.

Digital TV broadcasting allows you to easily access various information services in your home creating a more information-oriented home.

There are various types of digital TVs.

The most widely known types of digital TV are HDTV and SDTV. They are classified according to the screen quality and the video specifications.

• HDTV (High Definition TV):High screen quality, very clear TV.

• SDTV (Standard Definition TV):Common standard digital TV.

An SDTV has an aspect ratio of 4:3 which is the same as that of an analog

TV. SDTV has an aspect ratio of 16:9 which is similar to a cinema screen.

This provides a much better screen quality than SDTV. It's like having a theater in your home.

Digital TV broadcasting in our country is ultimately orientated towards

HDTV. (At present, all digital TVs from Samsung Electronics have the 16:9 wide aspect ratio.)

5-3 Troubleshooting

Can I watch HD broadcasting with all digital

TVs?

FAQ

Can I watch digital TV broadcasting with an analog TV?

Can I use my present antenna to receive digital broadcasting?

PLEASE TRY THE FOLLOWING!

You can receive all digital broadcasts, whether they are SD or HD, using any digital TV. However, you cannot enjoy HD programs, which are the highest quality digital TV programs, using an SD digital TV. Especially, as

SD broadcasting has an aspect ratio of 4:3, HD broadcasting has an aspect ratio of 16:9, similar to a cinema screen. Therefore, to enjoy the full benefits of digital TV, it is better to purchase an HD digital TV.

(At present, all digital TVs from Samsung Electronics have the 16:9 wide aspect ratio.)

No.

The analog TV cannot interpret digital signals. Therefore, a digital TV is required to watch digital TV broadcasting.

As for existing analog TV, digital TV is designed so that digital broadcasting signals are received via both indoor and outdoor antennas.

If signal reception is very good in your environment, you can watch digital broadcasts with your existing indoor antenna. If not, it is better to install an outdoor antenna.

This product provides a power saving function that automatically turns the screen off when the product is not used for a predetermined period of time to reduce power consumption. If the product enters power saving mode, the power LED turns to a different color to indicate that the product is in power saving mode.

When the product is in power saving mode, the power is not turned off and you can turn the screen on again by pressing any key or clicking the mouse. However, the power saving function only works when the product is connected to a computer that provides the power saving function.
