Setting up "Samsung Smart TV" - although a rather complicated operation, even a new and poorly trained user can handle it. It is she who will be presented in stages within the framework of this material.
What to choose?
Samsung Smart TV setup can be done in one of two ways:
- On our own.
- With the involvement of relevant specialists.
In the second case, you need to pay a fairly large amount, and a television device will be configured to your needs. In the first case, you do it yourself. Although selling companies scare with the complexity of setting up Smart TV, in fact, it is quite possible to do everything without the involvement of third-party help.
General procedure
The procedure for setting up such a multimedia center is as follows:
- Assembly and installation of the device.
- Full implementation of switching.
- Turning on and setting initial parameters.
- Search all available TV channels to watch.
- Updating the systemsoftware and installation of all necessary widgets.
- Testing the device.
Installation
Setting up "Samsung Smart TV" begins with choosing the installation location of the device. In essence, the limitation in this case comes from the commutation side. Firstly, there must be at least one free socket in this place to organize the power supply of the multimedia device. Secondly, the cable with the TV signal should reach this place without any problems.
The last, third limitation comes from access to the Internet. If you plan to use a twisted pair for switching, then it should also be extended to this place without any problems. If Wi-Fi will be used, then the signal quality of the wireless network should be perfect.
After choosing the installation location of the multimedia device, we assemble it. When mounting on a horizontal surface, we use a complete set of supports and screws. Otherwise, when installing on a vertical wall or other surface, additionally purchase a mounting kit and use it.
Connection
In order to install "Smart TV", all connections must be made. To begin with, we install the power cord with one end into the power socket of the device. Then we connect a signal wire with TV channels to the ANT IN connector. At the final stage, if necessary, we connect a twisted pair to the RJ-45 port. This is done only if it is planned to use it to obtain information from the global web. Wi-Fi configuration will be described in the next paragraph.
Setting initial settings
The next step is to enable and set the general settings for Samsung Smart TV. A list of languages will appear in the first query window, you need to select Russian in it. Next, the location of the device and the time zone are set. The current date is also shown. All these parameters must be set correctly. Otherwise, some options in the shell may not work. In addition to this, the wireless connection settings are set. To do this, go to the "Settings" menu (it is called by a button on the remote control with the image of a "gear"). Next, select the sub-item "Network" and it sets the parameters of the latter. For a wireless connection, the name of the network, the password that provides access to it, the network address (dynamic or static, the latter must be specified in the appropriate field) are set. In the case of a wired connection, you only need to set the device address on the local network.
Search channels
The first step in configuring Samsung Smart TV is to search for channels. To do this, on the included multimedia center, go to the menu item "Settings" according to the previously given method. Then select the "Channels" item and the "Auto-tuning" sub-item. After that, the device will ask you to set the signal source. It can be an ordinary antenna, a set of satellite equipment, or a cable provider. Once this parameter is set, the process of searching for available TV programs starts. Upon completion init is mandatory to save the received list.
App Store & Widgets
The next step is to update the system software. To do this, on the TV turned on, select the menu called "Settings", in it we find the sub-item "Update". We start this procedure and wait for its completion. We exit this menu and go to the "Smart TV" menu (called by the button with the image of the "house"). Here we find the sub-item "Samsung Apps". Next, we install applications for Samsung Smart at our discretion from it. It is recommended to pay attention to the Ivi and Tvigle widgets. They have a lot of free movies and other content. Also, it will not be superfluous for the same reason to install Youtube. We already choose everything else based on our own preferences.
Also, the store has a detailed description of each application and you need to study it in detail before installing it. There are also third-party application sources, but it is not recommended to use them. They have not been tested in the company store and may damage the TV shell.
