MORE SETTINGS

This section describes the features and settings of the TV that were not covered in the other parts of this guide.

Network settings

If needed, you can change your network settings at any time. For example, if you change the name of your
wireless network (its SSID) or its password, you will need to change your TV's settings so that it can continue to
connect.
To change network settings, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > Network, and then press
RIGHT. At this point, you can choose from among the following options:
• About – Lists important information about your current network connection, such as status, connection type,
IP addresses and MAC address. This information is often useful when contacting customer support with con-
nection issues.
• Check connection – Select your existing network connection type, and then press OK to start checking the
network connection. The TV uses your current network information to reconfirm the wireless or wired network
connection to the local network and the Internet connection.
• Set up connection – Select a network connection type, and then select the option to set up a new connec-
tion. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the network connection. For help with each of the steps,
see Network connection.
• Bandwidth saver – Enable or disable this feature as appropriate. If On, your TV prompts you to stop stream-
ing if you haven't used the remote control within the past four hours. If you do not respond, streaming stops
to save your data allocation and increase the network bandwidth available to other devices in your home.
Change to Off to disable the automatic bandwidth saving feature.

Time settings

You can change time settings to suit your preferences. You can find the following settings by navigating from the
Home Screen Menu to Settings > System > Time:
• Sleep timer – Set a time delay after which the TV will automatically shut off. This setting reflects the setting
you can make in the TV settings menu from any TV input, as explained in TV settings menu.
Note: The sleep timer setting is not input specific, and also can be set by using the Sleep timer shortcut on
the Home screen.
• Time zone – Correct time zone information is needed to correctly display programme data. Choose whether
to set the time zone automatically or manually, and if set manually, select your current time zone. Usually, a
TV connected to the Internet can discover its own time zone automatically, but sometimes a TV that is not
connected to the Internet cannot and so must be set manually. Initially, this setting is made when you set up
the TV tuner, as explained in Setting up live TV.
• Clock format – Choose whether to display time in a 12-hour or 24-hour format, or to turn off time display.

Scan again for live TV channels

There will be times when you need to create a new channel list. For example, you:
• Reposition your TV aerial
• Move to a different city with different channels
Whenever you need to update your TV channel list, you can repeat the channel scan.
To repeat the channel scan, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Scan
for channels. Then choose one of the following:
• Scan for channels – Erases your current channel list and region/subregion selections, if applicable. Use this
option if you move to a new location with different channels.
• Rescan for channels – Erases your current channel list but keeps your existing region/subregion selections, if
applicable. Use this option to find new channels that may have been added since your last channel scan.
