A:AnswerAlthough this model does not have direct access to Samsung Apps (like Netflix, Pandora or YouTube), it can display App content from a 2010-12 Samsung BD player or other internet capable device (the blu-ray player/internet capable device will handle the Internet content processing, while the TV displays the content. Similar to how a monitor will display the PC’s video signal).

A:AnswerIn order to access Captioning, you will want to head into the TV's menu, then into the setup or system sub-menu to access the CC options or to just activate it, press the CC button on the remote control. However, CC is only available via the coax cable since the CC signal has to be sent by your service provider. The CC information cannot be sent via HDMI or other secondary connections from 3rd party devices. That said, most service provider set top boxes and DVD/BD players will handle CC on board, which will then be displayed on the TV as part of the video signal. If your TV is displaying captions, but the caption system is turned off at the TV, then most likely the captions are coming from the 3rd party device that is connected to the TV. Captions are subject to your service provider’s availability. Additionally, the CC option cannot be set to come on automatically when MUTE is activated.

A:AnswerThere are two ways to connect your PC or Mac to your Samsung TV for monitor functionality: HDMI to HDMI or HDMI to VGA/DVI/Displayport.
That said, the Samsung TVs do not offer wireless or networked monitor capabilities.
Please note, in the PC's operating system, you will need to set the display settings to either clone or extended view and set the PC’s resolution to match that of the maximum resolution of the TV in order to view your PC's desktop on the TV.
If your PC offer HDMI out, I would highly suggest using this connection, since it is a basic plug-n-play connection (meaning almost no adjustment is needed on the TV or PC).
HDMI to VGA/DVI/Displayport is almost the same as straight HDMI, but in this case, you will want to connect the DVI end of the cable to the PC (if available) and the HDMI into the TV. This is also considered a plug-n-play connection.

A:AnswerThis is actually a built-in feature of the Samsung TVs. Since it is sometimes hard to tell whether an LED/LCD TV is on or off, we have included this feature that basically tells you, when the red light is on, the panel is turned off. However, at this time, this feature cannot be deactivated or reversed.
-MrSamsung
A:AnswerThis is a little trickier since I'm not familiar with all of the devices you listed and their inputs and outputs. I can, however, I can suggest how you could connect everything up:
Since the UN32EH5000 offers 2 HDMI inputs, I would suggest using those for your HD devices (the Tivo and the Sound System). You can then connect the VHS/DVD via composite/component connection and then connect the TV's optical audio output to the Sound system. This will allow you to listen to all of the content that is being sent into your TV, out from your sound system.
If this did not help you, might I suggest you contact a Geek Squad associate for more information on connecting your components and even purchasing A/V Switches for all of your devices.
-MrSamsung
A:AnswerYes. Use composite cables (rca) to input to the tv. These are the cables you are probable using now with the vcr. Use the source button on the remote to select the correct input. The video quality will be much lower than HD.
A:AnswerAs a matter of fact, the UN32EH5000 will be able to play back AVI, MKV and MPEG video files (just to name a few) from a USB thumb drive.
-MrSamsung
A:AnswerAlthough I cannot say if any one specific mount will be compatible (unless it is a Samsung Mount), I can say that the UN32EH5000 should be compatible with any universal wall mount that offers a VESA bracket size of 200mm x 200mm.
-MrSamsung
A:AnswerAny video game system will be compatible and can safely be played on any Samsung TV. Not only are video games safe to be played on all Samsung TVs, but we offer a Game Mode that bypasses some of the TVs processors to give you an almost direct feed from your game system. In order to connect the game system to the TV, please follow the instructions within the game system’s/TV’s user manuals.
-MrSamsung
A:AnswerDue to the nature of the cross compatible connectors (HDMI, Composite(RCA yellow/red/white), Component(red/green/blue), Optical), almost all devices will work with the Samsung TV (including this TV since it offers both optical and analog audio outputs), regardless of manufacturer. There are no special converters required. Aforementioned Cables will be required for normal operation.

A:AnswerI'm not sure what the 46" Samsung sounds like, but I would suspect the 32" model may have less speaker capacity because of its size. The best two ways to find out for sure are to compare the specifications (including range and output) and dimensions of the speakers of both models and, also, to go to a physical Best Buy store and have a sales associate demonstrate and describe the different models for you. Also, either model should have a number of sound adjustment programs within the TV (Equalizer, etc.) for you to be able to fine tune the sound to your preference.
A:AnswerNot silly at all! All current generation Samsung TVs are digital cable and Antenna ready. All of our TVs include a coax ATSC/QAM tuner that handles digital and analogue broadcast signals as well. No external boxes or equipment needed (besides the coax cable itself) to view your basic cable. However, an antenna is required for over the air broadcasts. Premium service may require additional equipment and fees. Please contact your service provider for details.
