Setting up “Samsung Smart TV” is a rather complicated operation, but even a newly made and poorly trained user can cope with it. It is she who will be phased out in the framework of this material.
What to choose?
Setting “Samsung Smart TV” can be performed in one of two ways:
- Own forces.
- With the involvement of relevant specialists.
In the second case, a sufficiently large amount must be paid, and a television device will be configured to your needs. In the first case, you do it yourself. Although the selling companies scare the complexity of setting up Smart TV, but in fact it’s quite possible to do everything without involving outside help.
General procedure
The procedure for setting up such a multimedia center is as follows:
- Assembly and installation of the device.
- The implementation of switching in full.
- Turn on and set the initial parameters.
- Search all available for viewing television channels.
- Updating system software and installing all the necessary widgets.
- Device testing.
Mounting
Setting up “Samsung Smart TV” begins with the choice of installation location for the device. Essentially, the limitation in this case comes from the switching side. Firstly, at least one free outlet for organizing the power supply of the multimedia device should be in this place. Secondly, a cable with a TV signal should reach this place without any problems.
The last, third restriction comes from access to the Internet. If you plan to use twisted pair for switching, then it should also be easily stretched to this place. If Wi-Fi will be used , then the signal quality of the wireless network should be impeccable.
After choosing the installation location of the multimedia device, we collect 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, we additionally purchase an installation kit and use it.
Connection
In order to install Smart TV, all connections must be completed. To begin with, install the power cord at one end into the device’s power socket. Then to the ANT IN connector we bring a signal wire with television channels. At the final stage, if necessary, we connect a twisted pair cable 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.
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 window of the request, in it you need to select Russian. Next, the location of the device and the time zone are set. The current date is also indicated . All these parameters must be set correctly. Otherwise, some options in the shell may not work. In addition to this, wireless settings are set. To do this, go to the "Settings" menu (it is called by the button on the remote with the image of the "gear"). Next, select the sub-item "Network" and the parameters of the latter are set in it. For a wireless connection, a network name, a password that provides access to it, a network address (dynamic or static, the latter must be specified in the corresponding field) are set. In the case of a wired connection, you only need to set the device address on the local network.
Channel search
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 described methodology . Then we select the item “Channels” and the sub-item “Auto tuning”. After that, the device will ask you to set the signal source. It can be a regular antenna, a set of satellite equipment, or a cable provider. Once this parameter is set, the process of searching for available television programs begins. Upon completion, it is imperative that you save the list you received.
Application Store and Widgets
The next step is updating 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 leave 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, install the application for Samsung Smart at its discretion from it. It is recommended to pay attention to the widgets Ivi and Tvigle. They have a lot of free movies and other content. Also, for the same reason, installing Y outube will not be out of place. Everything else is already chosen based on our own preferences.
Also, the store has a detailed description of each application and it needs to be studied in detail before installation. There are third-party application sources, but it is not recommended to use them. They did not pass the check in the company store and can damage the TV software.
Reviews
Samsung Smart TVs are considered one of the best today. Owners focus on the increased level of functionality of their software and an expanded set of application software. No other competing platform can certainly boast of such a set. At the same time, their technical specifications are no worse than their analogues, and the cost is comparable. So it turns out that the television solutions of this brand essentially do not have any drawbacks.
Conclusion
In this article, the Samsung Smart TV setting was described in stages and sequentially . There is nothing complicated in this operation. Anyone can handle it for sure.
