To use Bixby, the TV must be set up, tuned, and connected to the network. You can connect the TV to the network during the initial setup or do it later through the settings menu.

There are many commands you can say to control the TV. These can be used together with the Voice Guide to give you voice input and output. You can use the Samsung Smart Remote, but the TV must be connected to the network.

To speak a command, press and hold the mic button (located near the top right of the Samsung Smart Remote, directly right of the quick setting button), say the command, and then release the button. The TV will confirm the command.

For example, you can:

• Turn Voice Guide on

  Press the mic button on the Samsung Smart Remote, and then say "Voice Guide on".

• Turn Audio Description on

Press the mic button on the Samsung Smart Remote, and then say "Audio Description on".

• Turn High Contrast on
