Switching Inputs On Your Samsung Monitor: Easy Steps To Follow

If you want to switch inputs on your Samsung monitor, you can do so by pressing the SOURCE button to switch between external devices connected to the monitor.

Using the SOURCE button to switch between external devices

To switch between external devices on your Samsung monitor, you can use the SOURCE button on your remote control. This will allow you to select from the external devices connected to your monitor.

• Press the SOURCE button on your remote control.
• Depending on the input connection being used, select your preferred source by navigating the menu. You can do this by using the down directional button on your remote.
• The options menu will display the connector names, which may vary depending on the product. For example, you may see "PC" for a PC connected to an HDMI connection or "Blu-ray" for a Blu-ray player connected to another HDMI connection.
• Select your desired input source by highlighting and confirming your choice.

By following these steps, you will be able to easily switch between external devices connected to your Samsung monitor using the SOURCE button on your remote control. This will allow you to access and use different devices with your monitor seamlessly.

Using the JOG button to change input settings

The JOG button is located on the back of your Samsung monitor, on the right side (when facing the front of the monitor). It is a quick and easy way to access certain functions and features on your monitor without a remote control.

To change the input settings using the JOG button, follow these steps:

• Locate the JOG button on the back of your monitor.
• Press and hold the JOG button for 20 seconds in each direction (up, down, left, and right) to "un-stick" it if it is not responding.
• Once the button is responsive, press the JOG button to open the on-screen menu.
• Use the JOG button to navigate the on-screen menu. For example, pressing the JOG button to the left or right may show the source menu, while pressing it up may display the image menu (brightness, contrast, etc.).
• To switch inputs, select the desired input source from the on-screen menu using the JOG button. For example, you can switch between external devices connected to your monitor, such as a PC or a Blu-ray player, by selecting the corresponding input source.
• Make sure that the connector names match the external device you are using. For instance, if you are using a PC connected via HDMI, ensure that the selected input source is labelled as "PC" or "HDMI".
• If you cannot locate the desired input source, you may need to edit the device type. Press the appropriate button on the JOG controller to access the "Edit Device Type" option and change the type of external device accordingly.
• Once you have selected the correct input source, press the central part of the JOG controller to confirm your selection and return to viewing.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the JOG button to change the input settings on your Samsung monitor.

Renaming connected devices for easier identification

To switch inputs on a Samsung monitor, press the SOURCE button to toggle between external devices. You can also press the down directional button to view the options menu, where you can edit device names and types.

Renaming connected devices on your Samsung monitor can be done through the Source menu. This feature is especially useful if you have multiple devices of the same type connected to your monitor, such as smartphones or storage devices. Here's a step-by-step guide to renaming your connected devices:

• From the Home screen of your Samsung monitor, select "Source".
• Choose the device you want to rename.
• Press the Up button to access the available functions.
• Select "Edit" or "Rename" to change the name of the device. You may also be able to choose a new icon for the device.
• Enter the new name for the device.
• Repeat these steps for any other devices you want to rename.

By following these steps, you can easily identify and differentiate between your connected devices, making it more convenient to select the correct device when you want to watch a movie or play a game.

Additionally, if you're using a Samsung Android device, you can change the Bluetooth name that appears when connecting to other devices. To do this, go into your Settings, choose "About Device", "About Tablet", or "About Phone", and then select "Device Name". From there, you can enter a new name for your device.

Using Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) to display a list of connected devices

Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) is a feature that allows devices connected to your Samsung monitor through HDMI to communicate and control each other. This means you can manage multiple connected devices using just your monitor's remote control.

To use Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) to display a list of connected devices, first ensure that Anynet+ is enabled on your monitor. To do this, press the Home button on your remote, then navigate to and select Settings, followed by All Settings. From there, select Connection, then External Device Manager, and finally Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) to turn it on.

Once Anynet+ is enabled, connect your desired device to your monitor using an HDMI cable. Turn on the device, and it will automatically connect to your monitor. After the connection is established, you can access the connected device's menu using your monitor's remote control.

To view a list of connected devices, press the SOURCE button on your remote control. This will allow you to switch between external devices connected to your monitor.

It is important to note that Anynet+ is only compatible with HDMI-CEC enabled devices, and some HDMI cables may not support Anynet+. Additionally, make sure that your devices are turned on and properly connected to your monitor with a high-speed HDMI cable.
