Self Diagnosis Signal Information (digital channels only)
Unlike analogue channels, which can vary in reception
quality from ‘snowy’ to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have
either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them
at all. So, unlike analogue channels, you cannot fine tune
a digital channel. You can, however, adjust your antenna to
improve the reception of available digital channels.

Software Upgrade Samsung may offer upgrades for the TV’s firmware in the
future. These upgrades can be performed via the TV when
it is connected to the Internet, or by downloading the new
firmware from samsung.com to a USB memory device.
Current Version is the software already installed in
the TV.
Alternative Software (Backup) shows the previous
version that will be replaced.
Software is represented as ‘Year/Month/Day_Version’.
The more recent the date, the newer the software
version. Installing the latest version is recommended.
By USB
Insert a USB drive containing the firmware upgrade
downloaded from samsung.com into the TV. Please be
careful to not disconnect the power or remove the USB
drive while upgrades are being applied. The TV will turn
off and turn on automatically after completing the firmware
upgrade. Please check the firmware version after the
upgrades are complete (the new version will have a
higher number than the older version). When software is
upgraded, video and audio settings you have made will
return to their default (factory) settings. We recommend you
write down your settings so that you can easily reset
them after the upgrade.
By Channel
Upgrades the software using the broadcasting signal.
If the function is selected during the software
transmission period, this function searches for
available software and downloads the software.
The time required to download the software is
determined by the signal status.
Standby Mode Upgrade
To continue software upgrade with master power on,
Select On by pressing the ▲ or ▼ button. 45 minutes after
entering standby mode, a manual upgrade is automatically
conducted. Since the power of the unit is turned on
internally, the screen may be on slightly for the LCD
product. This phenomenon may continue for more than 1
hour until the software upgrade is completed.
Alternative Software (Backup)
If there is an issue with the new firmware and it is affecting
operation, you can change the software to the previous
version.
If software was changed, existing software is
displayed.
You can change current software to alternative
software by ‘Alternative Software’.
