We do not have this model's operating system on record. Most sets of this brand run the manufacturer's own system rather than Android TV, so check the box or the settings menu before following any install steps.

Downloads

The catalogue does not record which system this set runs. The download page shows how to find out in a minute, and what to do either way.

What this set runs

The catalogue does not record which system Samsung Q9F Q9 QLED 2017 runs, and this page will not guess. Android TV steps are wrong for a Tizen or webOS set, and a wrong step costs more of the reader's afternoon than no step at all.

A minute in the set's own menu settles it: Settings → About, Support or System information names the platform.

Finding out before installing

Identify the system first; the install route follows from it.

  1. Open Settings on the television and go to About, Support or System information.
  2. Look for Android TV, Google TV, Fire OS, Tizen, webOS or SmartCast on that screen.
  3. If it is Android-based, follow the Android TV install guide; the launcher also runs on Google TV and Fire OS with the menu names those systems use.
  4. If it is any of the others, the app cannot run on the set — an HDMI device is the route, as on the Tizen and webOS pages.

Problems and error messages

If the About screen names no platform, the manual shipped with the television usually does, and the manufacturer's support page lists it by model number.

Do not enable developer options on a guess. The setting exists on Android-based sets and does nothing useful on the others, which makes a missing menu a useful clue rather than a fault.

Once the system is known, this catalogue entry can be updated: the platform is recorded per model, not per brand.

Using the remote

The remote navigates the system the set runs, whichever that is: ring or arrows to move, the centre button to select, Back to return.

A Home button that opens a row of inputs rather than apps is typical of manufacturer systems, and is itself a hint about which system this set runs.
