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 LED

 

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.
