IssuesSolutions and Explanations
Unwanted Powering Off If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, there may be an issue 
with either your Timer settings or your Eco friendly No Signal Power Off 
feature.
First make sure Sleep Timer is not accidentally set. The Sleep Timer 
turns off the TV automatically after a certain period of time has passed.
 
• Sleep Timer: User Menu → System → Time → Sleep Timer
If the Sleep Timer is not activated, you may have engaged the No Signal 
Power Off or Auto Power Off feature.  
• No Signal Power Off: User Menu → System → Eco Solution → No 
Signal Power Off
 
• Auto Power Off: User Menu → System → Eco Solution → Auto 
Power Off
Trouble Powering On Press the Power on button on the TV or remote. The light should 
blink about 5 times before the TV turns on.
If you find that you are having trouble powering on your Samsung 
television, there are a number of things to check before making a call to 
the service department. 
If you’re sure your power cord, remote control, and PC are functioning 
properly, you may be having a cable issue. If you have a cable or satellit\
e 
box, your TV may appear to be off because the cable or satellite box is 
not outputting a signal. To test the signal output of your cable or satellite 
box, press the guide or info button on the cable or satellite box remote 
control. If the screen displays the guide or info data, the problem is 
caused by the box.
Stand Assembly If you have any trouble assembling the stand first, review "Install the 
Stand" in the paper manual.
Cannot Find a Channel Re-run Setup (Go to User Menu → System → Setup) or run Auto 
Program. (Go to User Menu → Channel → Auto Program).

• Make sure the AC power cord is securely plugged in to the wall outlet 
and the TV. 
 
• Make sure the wall outlet is working. 
 
• Try pressing the P button on the TV to make sure the problem is not 
the remote. If the TV turns on, refer to “Remote control does not work” 
below.
There is no picture/video.  
• Check the cable connections. Remove and reconnect all cables 
connected to the TV and external devices.
 
• Set the video outputs of your external devices (Cable/Sat Box, DVD, 
Blu-ray etc) to match the TV's input connections. For example, if an 
external device’s output is HDMI, it should be connected to an HDMI 
input on the TV. 
 
• Make sure your connected devices are powered on. 
 
• Be sure to select the correct input source.
 
• Reboot the connected device by unplugging it, and then reconnecting 
the device’s power cable.

The cable/set top box remote 
control doesn’t turn the TV on 
or off, or adjust the volume.  
• Program the Cable/Set remote control to operate the TV. Refer to the 
Cable/Set-Top-Box user manual for the SAMSUNG TV code.

Securing the TV to the Wall
Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing 
on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In 
particular, ensure your children do not 
hang over or destabilize the TV. Doing 
so may cause the TV to tip over, causing 
serious injuries or death. Follow all safety 
precautions provided in the Safety Flyer 
included with your TV. For added stability 
and safety, you can purchase and install 
the anti-fall device as described below.
The TV-Holder Kit (Sold Separately):
The parts below are included in the TV Holder kit. In addition, you need to provide a wood screw, screw 
and molly, or other screw appropriate for the wall or cabinet you intend to secure the TV-Holder string to. 
We recommend a size M4xL20 wood screw.
TV-Holder (BN96-15753A)Screw (M8 X L19)
Installing the TV-Holder
1.  Remove the screw attached to the back of your TV, and then connect the TV-Holder to the TV with the 
screw included in the TV-Holder Kit that is designated for your TV.
 
✎Make sure to use only the appropriate supplied screw. If you use a different screw, you can 
damage your TV. 
2.  Firmly fasten the screw you provided (size M4xL20 or similar) to the wall or cabinet where the TV is to 
be installed.
 
✎If you fasten the screw to the wall, we recommend you drive the screw into a stud. If that is not 
possible, use a molly to anchor the screw.

3. Tie the TV-Holder cord to the screw fastened to the wall or cabinet so that the TV is fixed. See the 
illustrations below.
 
✎Install the TV close to the wall so that it does not fall.
 
✎When attaching the TV-Holder cord to the wall, tie the cord level with the ground or slanted 
downwards for safety purposes.
 
✎Check the cord occasionally to make sure it is secure.
 
✎Before moving the TV, separate the connected cord first.
4.  Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check the connections for any sign of fatigue or 
failure. If you have any doubt about the security of your connections, contact\
 a professional installer.
