Read before connecting an Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) device
Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)-enabled devices must be connected to the TV with an HDMI cable. Note that some HDMI cables may not support Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC). You can configure the TV's Universal Remote to control third-party cable boxes, Blu-ray players and home theatres that do not support HDMI-CEC. For more information, refer to "Controlling External Devices with a Samsung Remote Control Using the Universal remote setup". Anynet+ cannot be used to control external devices that do not support HDMI-CEC. The TV remote control may not work under certain circumstances. If this occurs, set up the device as an Anynet+ (HDMICEC)-enabled device again. Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) works only with external devices that support HDMI-CEC and when those devices are either in standby mode or turned on. Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) can control up to 12 compliant external devices (up to 3 of the same type) except for home theatres. Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) can control only one home theatre system. To listen to 5.1 channel audio from an external device, connect the device to the TV via an HDMI cable and connect a 5.1 home theatre system directly to the external device's digital audio output connector. If an external device has been set up for both Anynet+ and a universal remote control, the device can be controlled only with the universal remote control.

Precautions when using Art mode
Motion Sensor may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.
· The motion sensor is located at the bottom of the TV. Do not block the sensor at the front of the TV. The motion sensor as well as the brightness and colour tone of the screen can be affected.
· Art mode uses algorithms to minimise image burn-in that can be caused by displaying still images on the screen for long periods of time.
· The performance of the sensor may vary depending on the TV installation and operating environment.
The screen brightness and colour tone may be affected depending on the colour of the floor on which the TV stands.
In an environment where special light sources other than standard light sources (halogen, fluorescent) are used, the sensor's motion recognition performance may vary depending on the positions, types, and number of the light sources.
If the area around the TV is too dark or bright, the screen brightness may be limited or the sensor may not work normally.
If the TV is installed too high or too low, the sensor may not work normally.
The motion sensor may sense motion from a flashing LED, a pet, a car moving outside the window or other occurrence and start operating.

Read before setting up a wireless network connection
Precautions for wireless network · This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. 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 or geographical area. QN9**C Series supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac /ax communication protocols. For models other than the QN9**C Series, Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. · To use wireless network, the TV must be connected to a wireless access point or modem. If the wireless access point 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 access point. If the channel set is currently being used by the wireless access point to communicate with another device, the result is usually interference 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 securityenabled access point.
Wireless security protocols The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols. The TV cannot connect to non-certified wireless access point.
· Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK · Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES In compliance with the 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 access point 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.

Installing an anti-theft lock
An anti-theft lock is a physical device that can be used to protect the TV against theft. Look for the lock slot on the 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 antitheft lock may differ for each model. Refer to the lock's user manual for more information.
This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.

Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported Resolutions)
Check the resolutions supported for PC input signals.
When you connect your TV to a computer, set the computer's video card to one of the standard resolutions listed in the tables below. The TV will automatically adjust to the resolution you choose. Note that the optimal and recommended resolutions are 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (UHD models) and 7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz (QN7**C Series or higher). Choosing a resolution not included in the tables can result in a blank or flickering screen or can turn on only the receiver of the remote control. Refer to the user manual of your graphics card for compatible resolutions.
The native resolutions are 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (UHD models) and 7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz (QN7**C Series or higher) with the Input Signal Plus set to On. The native resolution is 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz with the Input Signal Plus set to Off.

You can view the embedded e-Manual containing information about your TV's key features. Alternatively, you can download a copy of the e-Manual from Samsung's website (https://www.samsung.com). Words in blue (e.g., Internet) indicate a menu item.
The e-Manual's Home Screen contains 1 row of menu icons. Use the left and right directional buttons to move within a row. Press the Select button to open the section you want to read.
You can use the directional buttons on the remote control to use the functions on the top such as Search, Site Map, and Index. The e-Manual contains a section called "Learn TV Remote" in "Accessibility Guidance". This is particularly useful for people who cannot easily see the buttons on the control or who are not clear what each button does. When you are viewing this section of the e-Manual, pressing the buttons on the remote control will not affect the TV.
