This document is a user quick guide for an LG OLED TV, emphasizing its "ULTIMATE DISPLAY" capabilities. It covers various aspects of setting up and using the TV, including network connections, remote control functions, wireless display technologies, and software updates.
Function Description:
The LG OLED TV serves as a central entertainment hub, offering advanced display technology and smart features. It supports both wired and wireless network connections, enabling access to online content and services. The TV integrates with LG's Smart HOME menu, providing a user-friendly interface for managing settings and applications. A key feature is the Universal Control function, which allows the Magic Remote Control to operate not only the TV but also external devices like set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, home theater systems, and sound bars. This is achieved through an on-screen remote interface that adapts to the selected device.
The TV also supports various wireless display technologies, enhancing its connectivity and content sharing capabilities. These include WiDi (Wireless Display) for mirroring laptop screens and Miracast™ for securely sending video and sound from portable devices. For content sharing from smartphones, the TV utilizes DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) and a "Tag On" feature, which uses NFC (Near Field Communication) for quick content sharing by tapping a smartphone to a sticker. Software update functionality is built-in, allowing the TV to stay current with the latest features and improvements, either automatically or through manual checks.
Usage Features:
- Network Connection: The TV can be connected to a network wirelessly via a Wireless AP (Router) or through a wired connection using an Ethernet cable to a wired router. The setup process is guided, allowing users to select available networks and enter security keys if required. Troubleshooting steps are provided for common network issues, including checking TV/AP (Router) connections, power cycling devices, and verifying MAC address registration with internet service providers.
- Universal Control with Magic Remote: The Magic Remote Control simplifies the management of multiple devices. After connecting an external device to the TV, users can press the '123 /Q.MENU' button to access a "Change Device" tab. From there, they can select the device to control, and a corresponding on-screen remote appears. This screen remote allows control of external devices using navigation keys, the scroll wheel, or the 'Back' button on the Magic Remote.
- Smart HOME Menu and Settings: Accessing the Smart HOME menu via the SMART button allows users to navigate to "Settings" for various configurations, including network settings.
- WiDi (Wireless Display) Setting: Intel's WiDi technology enables wireless mirroring of laptop screens to the TV. To use this, the laptop runs the Intel WiDi program, detects available LG Smart TVs, and connects after entering a security key displayed on the TV. The TV screen then displays the laptop's content. The guide notes that LG TVs do not require registration for WiDi, and TV sound settings for Digital Sound Out should be set to PCM.
- Miracast™ Setting: Miracast allows portable devices to wirelessly send video and sound to the TV. Users must ensure Miracast is enabled on both their mobile device and the TV (via Network settings). Once detected, the portable device can be selected to display its content on the TV.
- SmartShare PC SW (DLNA) Installation & Setting: To share content from a PC, users need to install the SmartShare PC SW (DLNA) program from the LG website. This enables DLNA service, allowing the TV to access content from the PC, provided both devices are on the same AP (Router).
- DLNA Connection to Smartphone: For smartphone content sharing, Wi-Fi must be enabled on the smartphone, and both devices must be on the same local network. Users install a content sharing app (e.g., SmartShare on LG phones), enable sharing, select the desired file type (movie, audio, photo), choose the file, add it to a playlist, select the TV model, and then play the media.
- Tag On (NFC): This feature allows quick content sharing from Android 4.0 (ICS) or later smartphones by tapping the phone to a Tag On sticker. Both the smartphone and TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network or use Miracast™/Intel's WiDi. The guide provides warnings about sticker placement and condition.
- Updating TV Firmware: The TV can automatically notify users of new software updates. Users can also manually check for updates via the "Software Update" menu within "Settings" and "SUPPORT." Options include "Software Update" (downloads automatically if detected), "Automatic Update Mode" (starts update without prompting if available), and "Check Update Version" (checks for latest version and allows manual download).
Maintenance Features:
- Network Troubleshooting: The guide provides clear steps for diagnosing and resolving common network connection issues, including checking physical connections, power cycling devices, and verifying IP/MAC address settings.
- Software Updates: Regular software updates ensure the TV operates with the latest features, performance enhancements, and security patches, contributing to long-term stability and functionality.
- Wi-Fi Direct Interference Management: To minimize interference between Wi-Fi devices when Wi-Fi Direct is not in use, it is recommended to turn off the Wi-Fi Direct setting.
