Self Diagnosis   • 
Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from snowy to clear, digital (HDTV) 
channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analog 
channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however, adjust your antenna to 
improve the reception of available digital channels. 
 If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to 
increase the signal strength. Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position 
with the strongest signal. 
 
Software Upgrade Samsung may offer upgrades for TV’s firmware in the future. Please visit Samsung.com or contact 
the Samsung call center at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864) to receive information about downloading 
upgrades and using a USB drive. Upgrades will be possible by connecting a USB drive to the [SER-
VICE] port located on your TV.
 • Insert a USB drive containing the firmware upgrade into the [SERVICE] port on the side of 
the TV.
• Please be careful to not disconnect the power or remove the USB drive while upgrades are 
being applied. The TV will turn off and turn on automatically after completing the firmware 
upgrade. Please check the firmware version after the upgrades are complete. When 
software is upgraded, video and audio settings you have made will return to their default 
(factory) settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset 
them after the upgrade.
