4. Getting Started

Provide Ventilation for Your TV

Maintain at least 4 inches (approx. 10 cm) between the TV and other objects for proper ventilation. Failure to do so may result in fire or product issues due to overheating.

Use only Samsung-provided parts for stands or wall-mounts to avoid injury or product malfunction.

Be cautious as some parts may become hot during operation.

Installation with a stand

Ensure 4 inches of clearance on all sides.

Installation with a wall-mount

Ensure 4 inches of clearance on all sides.

Installing Batteries into the Remote

Match battery polarity (AAA size) to symbols in the battery compartment.

Note:

• Use the remote within 23 feet (approx. 7 meters) of the TV.
• Bright light may affect remote performance. Avoid use near fluorescent or neon lights.
• Remote control appearance may vary by model.

6. Making Connections

Connect your TV to an antenna or cable, then connect peripherals. Connect the power cord last.

If using HDMI, Component, or Composite connections for a cable/satellite box, an antenna/cable connection to the ANT IN jack is not required.

• For best quality, use HDMI cables for digital devices.
• If an older HDMI version is used, video/audio may not work. Consult the device manufacturer for upgrades.
• Use only certified HDMI cables.
• PC/DVI AUDIO IN is not supported.
• Use HDMI IN 2 (DVI) for HDMI to DVI connections.
• For PCs with DVI out, use an HDMI to DVI cable and the PC's speakers for audio.
• Connect set-top boxes to HDMI IN 1 (STB) for optimal performance.
