To prevent the TV from falling

Since the necessary clamps, screws, and string are not supplied, please purchase these additionally.

  1. Drive the screws into the clamps and firmly fasten them onto the wall. Make sure the screws are firmly fixed into the wall.
  2. Remove the screws from the back center of the TV, put the screws into the clamps, and then fasten the screws onto the TV again.
  3. Connect the clamps fixed onto the TV and the clamps fixed onto the wall with a strong cable and then tie the string tightly.

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.

Install the TV close to the wall so that it does not fall.

It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps fixed on the wall are equal to or lower than the clamps fixed on the TV. Untie the string before moving the TV.

Problem Possible Solution

Component Connections / Screen Color If you find that the color on your Samsung television's screen is not correct or black and White, first run a Self Diagnosis on the TV to make sure there are no device issues.
  • Self Diagnosis: User Menu → Support → Self Diagnosis → Picture Test

  • Try making sure you have connected to the correct jacks. For example, if you use the Component jacks, labeled Pb, Pr, and Y, to connect your TV and video source, make sure you have connected the blue Pb jack on the video source to the blue Pb jack on the TV, the red Pr jack on the source to the red Pr jack on the TV.
Screen Brightness If you find that the colors on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright, there are some settings you should check before calling for a repair.
  • Backlight, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, Tint and so on. Go in to "Picture" on user Menu then try adjusting options mentioned above.

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.
