Hi everyone,

Sorry for this noob question. I recently bought a samsung tv on Lazada. Do i need to register the product online or by mail in order to 'activate' the warranty? Or does the warranty automatically activate based on the invoice date?

Thanks.

Tq for ur response..im okay using optical cable since it stil can do surround sound.anyway, why is this problem occured? Is the soundbar or the tv problematic?what is anynet, i saw previously when able to connect arc, anynet showed at the soundbar.

Should i sent back to the shop/samsung.im afraid later got more complication...tq

Yes,im using tm stb and ps4 at the hdmi

How to reset samsung hwk550 soundbar?tq for your response.

Hi guys, just want to share my experiences here in this thread on dealing with Samsung Customer Service when claiming for warranty for panel replacement. Here goes:

I'm one of the lucky owner of KS7000 which I have purchased on 1 November of 2016 before it went scarce. Everything great with its SUHD display especially when playing HDR PS4 Pro games on it. After a few months I noticed one tiny dead pixel on it. It's okay no big deal whatsoever. However after one year of having the KS7000 suddenly my screen have a single white line that spread horizontally across the screen from side to side. 

I called Samsung Customer Service, explained to them of my problem and after going through remote management and after I email them the current condition of the screen, the HQ technical team decided that the panel need replacement as the TV is still covered under its 2 years local manufacturer warranty. It's really a smooth experience in dealing with Samsung CS, after a few days my local Samsung Tech team came to my house and replace a new panel for my TV.

However the new panel have a slight defect, in which there is a small white pixel near the center of the screen. I tried contacting Samsung CS again but have low hope for them to replace the panel as I have read somewhere before unless the new panel have a noticeable defect, they will not replace it with a new panel. To my surprise they agreed to replace it with another new panel, the new did not have a single defect and the whole process took less than 7 working days. I'm really impress with Samsung after sale services, especially since my KS7000 is located in what is considered one of the rural area in Malaysia. I'm looking forward to have another Samsung product in the future.

TL;DR: Owner of KS7000, panel got issues after one year, contacted CS, replace it and got defect replacement panel, replace it again with a new picture perfect panel. Whole process took less than a week and I'm a one happy customer.

Anyone experience hang and dead pixels on TV when watching YouTube with KU6000? This issue happens to me randomly during halfway watching YouTube TV, then the TV restarts itself.

After restart it back to normal.
Yes, already in latest firmware, did factory reset using menu. It happens randomly, so far happen 4 times, 1 time after factory reset via service menu.

Just wonder... can HDMI connect to a spliter?
Wanna add additional HDMI ports to my Samsung one ports... as 4 HDMI all plugged in.
1- PS4 Pro
2- Sony Blu Ray Player
3- Astro PVR
4- AVR & Speaker

Wanna add in 2 more... Android box and additional speaker.
Can split the hdmi port out? Will the quality degrade or something?

Yeah I realized that too.

And I'm just realize my Sony Blue Ray player doesn't play 4K content. Only played up to FHD Blue Ray only. Planning to change it. UHD/HDR Blu Ray Disc cannot be read. Any suggestion any good blu ray player can read UHD content?

btw, my tv = samsung ks7000
In fact it does.
My AVR = Yamaha RX - A860 got few HDMI ports at the back too ...
Support my 5.1 home theater.

Coz thinking, if the port doesn't worth the split. Then might as well no need, and place my PS4 Pro in my second room. I m preferred to placed it on my main one as many people can enjoy.

guys, can the samsung tv stream data from a pc HDD to playback movie?

thanks guys, i tried plex, i dont want the encoding do be done on the pc, my pc not powderful enough

im using the ku5500
i cant seem anywhere to connect to the network thingy

anybody has any ideas? or i need to setup dlna on my pc 1st in order for my tv to be able to "see" the folder?

I have asked this question as well. Can a Samsung TV join the home network and browse files in the NAS and play a movie, without any other software involved. Straight and clean. So far no clear answer.

But I have read that Tizen has a SMB client software written for it recently. If that is a reality, then any Tizen OS should soon be able to join a SMB network and browse files. That should include Samsung TVs.

Yeah 😅 Cos has been thinking to get mu6100 all these while. Then yesterday saw this deal. It's even cheaper than mu6100 comparatively.

samsung tv got upscaler or not wor? got 6300 but cant tell difference 4k liao cuz everyday stare at 4k monitor

  my monitor juga lowest end 4k one

not very good at this thing, hopefully can find a tutorial

any of you guys using this method to watch video files? or mostly just plug in pc/pendrive/android box

I have setup file sharing in Windows 10, but how do I access it from my TV? Do I need any app from Samsung TV to access the shared folder in my pc?

no prob, ku5500 shud be tizen? im running windows 8 i think hahahah
my tv is located right above the router, if it lags i may try wired connection directly to the router
how good is samsung built in file player? i have issues playing from my pc, using kodi
the pc seems to be unable to output to HD audio, im stuck with legacy audio even though my soundbar is able to decode HD audio

does the samsung video player able to stream HD audio as well?

ya, i guess its my audio cards issue, cant output hd audio

so in ur setup, basically the same as mine, tv to soundbar with ARC, all the audio is decoded by the HTS then
HD audio ok?

My PC is connected to my Samsung TV thru HDMI, I believe the output using direct HDMI is better than Samsung Smart View app right? The only drawback is my PC can only output 1080p instead of 4K, I have some movies are in 4K so when I play in my PC it will downscale to 1080p to my TV.

ok, got it up and running, was trying ard with the file sharing options, end up too troublesome and no idea ard it, end up downloaded samsung smart view
HECK, works like a breeze so far, maybe some subtitle issues, where its suppose to be in a same folder or what not

got the words light up for HD audio i guess, LPCM 48 i think, audio file was process by the tv and send out as lpcm?

Dunno is it just placebo, did some comparison on kodi processing n samsung smart view, seems sharper on the images on the smart view processing

thanks for the 4k heads up, time to try some of those samples file to see the tv can process the file or not

Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally represent sampled analog signals. It is the standard form of digital audio in computers, compact discs, digital telephony and other digital audio applications. In a PCM stream, the amplitude of the analog signal is sampled regularly at uniform intervals, and each sample is quantized to the nearest value within a range of digital steps.
Linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) is a specific type of PCM where the quantization levels are linearly uniform. This is in contrast to PCM encodings where quantization levels vary as a function of amplitude (as with the A-law algorithm or the μ-law algorithm). Though PCM is a more general term, it is often used to describe data encoded as LPCM.
A PCM stream has two basic properties that determine the stream's fidelity to the original analog signal: the sampling rate, which is the number of times per second that samples are taken; and the bit depth, which determines the number of possible digital values that can be used to represent each sample.
