You can access and select certain menu options and functions using voice commands. For more

●Interactive and Imperative Voice Control
Voice Control has two modes: Interactive voice control and Imperative voice control. Interactive 
voice control lets you give "conversational" instructions to the TV. Imperative voice control 
requires you to use pre-defined commands. To use Interactive voice control, you must set up 
Smart Hub, set the clock, and agree to the user's agreement on the use of terms. If you try to 
use Interactive voice control without completing all of these requirements, the TV displays a 
notification pop-up. If the pop-up appears, follow the on-screen instructions and complete the 
necessary settings. Imperative voice control is available regardless of the Interactive voice control 
settings.
 
"
Please read through the instructions before using Voice Control. For more information, refer to " Read

menu name from  Voice Control to Voice Interaction.
