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 theaters that do not support HDMI-CEC. For more information, refer to “Controlling External Devices with a Samsung Remote Control Using the Universal Remote.” 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 theaters. Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) can control only one home theater 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 theater 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 color tone of the screen can be affected.

· Art mode uses algorithms to minimize 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 color tone may be affected depending on the color 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.

· Depending on the Auto Power Off function settings, the TV may turn off when there is no user input in Art mode,

such as inputs from the remote control (

Settings General Power and Energy Saving Auto Power

Off).

Settings General System Manager Time Sleep Timer and Off Timer function does not work in
