Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock

Connecting the Power Cord and the Antenna or Cable Connection
✎ Plug the power cord into a wall outlet only after you have made all other connections.
✎ If you are connecting your TV to a cable or satellite box using HDMI, Component, or Composite connections, you do not
need to connect the ANT IN jack to an antenna or a cable connection.
✎ Use caution when you move or swivel the TV if the antenna cable is tightly connected. You could break the antenna jack
off the TV.
Connecting to AV Devices (Blu-ray Players, DVD Players, etc.)
Using an HDMI cable or HDMI to DVI Cable for an HD connection (up to 1080p, HD, digital signals)
For the best quality HD picture, we recommend using an HDMI connection.
Use on DVD players, Blu-ray players, HD cable boxes, and HD satellite receivers (STB).
✎ HDMI IN 1 (DVI), 2
x
For better picture and audio quality, connect to digital devices using an HDMI cable.
x
An HDMI cable supports digital video and audio signals, and does not require an audio cable.
– To connect the TV to a digital device that does not support HDMI output, use an HDMI to DVI cable and
separate audio cables.
x
If you connect an external device to the TV that uses an older version of HDMI, the video and audio may not
work. If this occurs, ask the manufacturer of the device about the HDMI version and, if it is out of date, request
an upgrade.
x
Be sure to purchase a certified HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may
occur.
x
We recommend using a basic high-speed HDMI cable or an HDMI cable that supports Ethernet. Note that this
TV does not support the Ethernet function via HDMI.
✎ If an HDMI to DVI cable is connected to the HDMI IN 1(DVI) port, the audio does not work.

Connecting Audio Devices
Using an Optical (Digital) Cable Connection or a Standard Stereo Connection
Use on Digital Audio Systems, Amplifiers, and Home Theaters.
✎ DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)
x
When you connect a Digital Audio System to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume
of both the TV and the system.
x
5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when you connect the TV to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.
x
When the receiver (home theater) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s optical jack. When the
TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theater receiver. When the source is
a digital component such as a DVD player / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver
and you connected it to the TV via HDMI, you will only hear 2 CH audio from the home theater receiver. If you
want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB
satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.
✎ AUDIO OUT: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier/home theater.
x
When connecting, use the appropriate connector (sold separately).

Connecting to a Network
You can connect your TV to your local area network (LAN) using a wired or wireless connection.
✎ After you have “physically” connected your TV to your network, you must configure the network connection to complete
the process. You can configure the connection during the Initial Setup process (see page 10 ) or after the Initial Setup
process, through the TV’s menu (see page 15).
The Wireless Network Connection
You can connect your TV to your LAN through a standard wireless router or modem. To connect wirelessly, you must first
attach a “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGNX, WIS12ABGNX - sold separately) to the USB port on the side of
your TV. See the illustration below.
Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select retailers, E-commerce sites, and Samsungparts.
com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g and n communication protocols. Samsung
recommends using IEEE 802.11n. When you play video over a network connection using one of the other protocols, the video
may not play smoothly.
Wireless Security
Most wireless network systems incorporate a security system that requires devices that access the network through an access
point or AP (typically a wireless router or modem) to transmit an encrypted security code called an access key.
Your TV is compatible with the following security protocols:
yAuthentication Mode: OPEN, SHARED, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
yEncryption Type: WEP, TKIP, AES
If you select Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode and the Encryption type is set to WEP or TKIP on your AP or
wireless router, your TV will not support a connection, in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.
