00:00Setting up a smart TV is a straightforward process if you tackle it methodically.
00:03Here is a step-by-step guide to get your TV unboxed, connected, and ready to use.
00:08Step 1. Unboxing and positioning.
00:10Place the TV on a stable, flat surface or mount it securely to the wall using a VESA-compatible wall
00:17mount.
00:17Make sure there is adequate ventilation and it's near a power outlet.
00:21Do attaching the stand or mount.
00:23If not wall mounting, attach the TV legs or base stand using the provided screws and a screwdriver,
00:28tightening them securely before standing the TV upright.
00:31Step 3. Connecting peripherals and power.
00:35Plug in your external devices first, such as your HDMI cables from a cable satellite box,
00:40gaming console, or soundbar.
00:42Then plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
00:45Step 4. Powering on and pairing the remote.
00:48Turn on the TV using the remote control.
00:50Blow any on-screen prompts to pair the Bluetooth remote to the television,
00:53usually by holding down specific pairing buttons as indicated on the screen.
00:56Step 5. Connecting to Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
00:59Collect your home network from the on-screen list and into your Wi-Fi password,
01:03or plug an Ethernet cable directly from your router into the back of the TV for a wired connection.
01:08Step 6. Signing in and software update.
01:11Log in to your account, such as a Google account for Google TV, Samsung account, or Apple ID,
01:17and allow the TV to check for and install any pending firmware or software updates.
01:22Step 7. Scanning for channels or setting up inputs.
01:25If you use an antenna for local broadcast channels, run the auto-tuning channel scan.
01:30Otherwise, label your HDMI inputs.
01:32For example, HDMI 1 is PlayStation or cable for easy switching.
