    Is Samsung UE40d5520 a smart TV?
    lucius
    over 1 year ago
    The UE40d5520 is the first 40 inch TV in Samsung's new line-up to feature Smart Hub. This brings all the control and search options together in one central hub.

    How do I do an electrical reset on my Samsung TV?
    ira
    over 1 year ago
    Discharging or cold booting your TV drains the charge and resets the main board. If something really weird is happening, try this: with the TV on, press and hold the power button on your Samsung TV remote until the TV turns off and back on. When the TV comes back on, everything should be back to normal.

    What does it mean if my TV keeps turning on and off?
    rosendo_mertz
    over 1 year ago
    If your TV turns on or off at regular intervals, such as 30 minutes to an hour, it's likely caused by power saving functions such as Idle TV Standby, On Timer, and Sleep Timer. If the TV turns on or off when an HDMI-connected device is powered on or off, check the Bravia Sync settings.
