Precautions for wireless Internet
●●
This TV 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 TV 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 TV must be connected to a wireless router or modem. If the wireless router
supports DHCP, the TV 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 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 Playing Photo, Video, or Music Files
Read this information before playing media content.
Limitations to the use of photo, video, and music files Try Now
●●
The TV supports MSC (Mass Storage Class) USB devices only. MSC is a class designation for mass storage
devices. Types of MSC devices include external hard drives, flash card readers, and digital cameras. (USB hubs
are not supported.) These kinds of devices must be connected directly to the USB port. The TV may not be able
to recognize a USB device or read the files on the device if it is connected with a USB extension cable. Do not
disconnect USB devices while they are transferring files.
●●
When connecting an external hard drive, use the USB (HDD) port. We recommend that you use an external
hard drive with its own power adapter.
●●
Certain digital cameras and audio devices may not be compatible with the TV.
●●
If there are multiple USB devices connected to the TV, the TV might not be able to recognize some or all the
devices. USB devices that use high-power input should be connect to the USB [5V, 1A] port.
●●
The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems.
●●
After sorting files in the Folder view mode, the TV can display up to 1,000 files per folder. If the USB device
contains more than 8,000 files and folders, however, some files and folders might not be accessible.
●●
Certain files, depending on how they are encoded, may not play on the TV.
●●
Certain files are not supported on all models.
●●
UHD Video Pack content is not supported by Samsung UHD TVs produced in 2017 or later.

back of the TV. The slot has a
icon next to it. To use the lock, wrap the lock cable around an object that is too heavy
to carry and then thread it through the TV's lock slot. The lock is sold separately. The method of using an anti-theft
lock may differ for each TV model. Refer to the lock's user manual for more information.
