Setting the Clock on your Samsung TV

Set the clock on your Samsung TV to ensure you don't miss the latest TV shows and movies. When connected to the internet, your TV can automatically set the time and adjust itself during Daylight Savings. When Clock Mode is set to Manual, you can directly enter the current date and time.

Note:

The Auto function works only when the TV is connected to the network or is receiving digital broadcasts through a connected antennae.
The accuracy of the time information received may differ with the channel and signal.
If you get your TV signal from a cable broadcast receiver/set-top box or a satellite receiver/satellite set-top box connected to an HDMI or Component port, you must set the current time manually.
Time Offset is available only when Clock Mode is set to Auto, the TV fails to receive time information through normal broadcast signals, and the TV is connected to a network.
