How to Reset your Samsung TV

When you perform a Factory Reset, all settings will revert to factory default. These settings include picture and sound settings, channel menu settings (including memorised channels), clock and timer settings and other settings that you may have changed. You may also lose any changes to calibration settings if the calibration was not done through the service menu. Factory Reset however, will not affect your Network Settings. Network Settings can only be changed manually. 

If you simply want to reset one of the settings on your TV (i.e. picture or sound), please refer to your User Manual for steps on how to reset the individual settings on your TV.
