● If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you do not have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.

Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static

IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a Windows computer, you can also get these values through your computer.

● To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer

(either a router or a modem). If the wireless IP sharer supports DHCP, your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

● Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.

● If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.

▶ ◀

● If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the

Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP AES (WPS2Mixed) for your wireless router, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-

Fi certification specifications.

● If your wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network via PBC (Push Button Configuration) or PIN (Personal

Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in either mode.

● If your router, modem, or device is not certified, it may not connect to the TV via the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.”

▶

● Ensure the TV is turned on before you connect the Samsung Wireless LAN

Adapter.

■ Network Settings ( Auto )

Most wireless networks have an optional security system that requires devices that access the network to transmit an encrypted security code called an Access or

Security Key. The Security Key is based on a Pass Phrase, typically a word or a series of letters and numbers of a specified length you were asked to enter when you set up security for your wireless network. If you use this method of setting up the network connection, and have a Security Key for your wireless network, you will have to enter the Pass Phrase during the setup process.

If Your TV Fails to Connect to the Internet

Your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet because your ISP has permanently registered the MAC address (a unique identifying number) of your PC or modem, which it then authenticates each time you connect to the Internet as a way of preventing unauthorized access. As your TV has a different MAC address, your ISP can not authenticate its MAC address, and your TV can not connect.

To resolve this problem, ask your ISP about the procedures required to connect devices other than a PC (such as your TV) to the Internet.

If your Internet service provider requires an ID or password to connect to the Internet, your

TV may not be able to connect to the Internet. If this is the case, you must enter your ID or password when connecting to the Internet.

The internet connection may fail because of a firewall problem. If this is the case, contact your Internet service provider.

If you cannot connect to the Internet even after you have followed the procedures of your

Internet service provider, please contact Samsung Electronics at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

Anynet+

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.

N NOTE

● You can only control Anynet+ devices using the TV remote control, not the buttons on the TV.

● The TV remote control may not work under certain conditions. If this occurs, reselect the Anynet+ device.

• Black bars on the top and bottom will appear during movies that have aspect ratios different from your TV.

• Adjust the picture size options on your external device or TV to full screen.

• Plasma TVs typically make a soft humming sound. This is normal. It’s caused by the electrical charges that are used to create the images on the screen.

• If the humming sound is loud, you may have set the brightness on the

TV too high. Try setting the brightness lower.

• You can also have loud humming if the back of your Plasma TV is too close to a wall or other hard surface. Also try rerouting your connection cables.

The channel menu is greyed out (unavailable).

Your settings are lost after 30 minutes or every time the TV is turned off.

You have intermittent loss of audio or video.

Solutions and Explanations

• Make sure the TV is placed on a flat surface. If you can not remove the screws from the TV, use a magnetized screw driver.

• The Channel menu is only available when the TV source is selected.

• If the TV is in the Store Demo mode, it will reset audio and picture settings every 30 minutes. Change the settings from Store Demo mode to Home Use mode in the Plug & Play procedure. Press the SOURCE button to select TV mode, and go to MENU → System → Plug & Play

→ ENTER E .

• 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 mounting the TV to a wall, we recommend using cables with 90 degree connectors.

Component source.
