Network Setting Warnings
Use standard LAN cable (connect to Cat7 or higher with RJ45 connector, 10
Base-T, or 100 Base TX LAN port). Resetting the router may cause network
connection problems. In this case, the router will operate normally if you
turn it off and disconnect the TV, and then reconnect and turn it on. LG
Electronics is not responsible for network connectivity or operation failure
due to problems such as equipment failure or disconnected lines. The network
connection may not work properly because of network settings or the Internet
service provider. DSL service must use a DSL modem; and cable service must use
a cable modem. Since only a limited number of network connections may be
available, TV network setting may not be used depending on the contract with
Internet service provider. (If the contract does not allow more than one
device per line, only the already-connected PC may be used.) A wireless
network can experience interference from other devices that use the 2.4 GHz
frequency (wireless phone, Bluetooth device, or microwave oven). Although
interference can also happen when using the 5 GHz frequency, it is less likely
to occur. The wireless environment can make wireless network service run
slowly.
9
Using several wireless devices at the same time can slow your network. The
access point device must support wireless connections and wireless connection
feature must be enabled on the device to have AP (access point) connection.
Contact the service provider for availability of wireless connections on the
access point. Check SSID and security settings of the AP. Refer to the
appropriate documentation for SSID and security settings of the AP. If the
network is changed by moving the TV or changing the router, you must set up
the wireless network again. Existing wireless network connections will not be
saved. Invalid settings of network devices (wired/wireless line sharer, hub)
can cause the TV to operate slowly or not operate properly. Install the
devices correctly according to the appropriate manual and network. The
connection method may differ depending on the AP manufacturer. To solve a
problem related to this function, refer to the Troubleshooting section of User
Guide.

Connecting USB
Connecting USB
Connect a USB storage device (USB HDD, USB stick) to the USB port on the TV to
enjoy the content files stored on the USB storage device on your TV.
Tips for Using a USB Storage Device
A USB storage device that has a built-in automatic recognition programme or
uses its own driver might not be recognisable. Some USB storage devices may
not be supported or may not work properly. If you use a USB extension cable,
the USB storage device may not be recognised or may not work properly. Please
use only USB storage devices formatted with the FAT32, exFAT or NTFS file
system provided by Windows OS. It is recommended that you use an external USB
HDD with a rated voltage of 5 V or less and a rated current of 500 mA or less.
If you use a device requiring a higher voltage/current than the rated
voltage/current, it may not operate properly due to lack of current. It is
recommended that you use a USB hub or USB storage device with a power supply.
We recommend using a storage device with a capacity of 32 GB for the USB
memory and 2 TB or less for the USB hard disk. If a USB HDD with power-saving
function does not work, turn the hard drive off and on again to make it work
properly. See the owner’s manual for the USB HDD for more information. Data on
a USB storage device may be damaged, so it is recommended that you back up any
important files. Users are responsible for data management. The manufacturer
bears no responsibility. Press the button on the remote control. To remove the
USB storage device, press the Eject button, which appears at the top when you
focus on the USB storage device you want to remove. If you disconnect the USB
storage device without selecting Eject, an error may occur in your TV or
storage device. When you connect a USB storage device of a file system not
supported by the TV to the USB IN port, the format message appears. To use the
connected USB storage device, you should format the device first. Formatting
deletes all data stored on the USB storage device, and the device is formatted
with the FAT32, exFAT or NTFS file system. Run Home Hub by pressing the button
on the remote control. Select the connected USB from Home Hub and select the
Format button to format the USB storage device.

Matters That Require Attention of Content Share
Check your network settings if the content share option does not work
properly. It is recommended that you connect the device to a 5 GHz router
because the performance may be affected by your wireless environment. May not
work properly depending on the network environment. If multiple TVs are
connected to one device, the content may not be played properly depending upon
server performance. To watch a 1080p video through the content sharing
function, a router using the 5 GHz frequency is required. If you use the
existing 2.4 GHz router, the video may be laggy or not play properly. The
Content Share function may not be supported for a router that does not support
multicast. For more information, refer to the user guide that came with your
router or contact the manufacturer. Captions are only supported on some
connected devices. If you have added a caption file afterward, disable the
shared folder on the PC and then enable it again. The DRM files in the
connected device will not play. Even for the file format supported by the TV,
the supported file format may differ depending on the connected device
environment. If there are too many folders or files in a folder, it may not
work properly. The information on the file imported from the connected device
may not be displayed correctly. Depending on the encoding, some streams may
not play in content sharing mode.
