Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

✎

Wide screen format LCD Displays (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format fullmotion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to ﬁll the screen if your model offers this feature and the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark sidebars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing per week. Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of LCD Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LCD picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LCD models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view different formats as a full screen picture. Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven LCD aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the xHDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray player, HD cable box, HD STB satellite receiver, cable box, or STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio.

The picture may not display normally (if at all) or the audio may not work if an external device that uses an older

version of HDMI mode is connected to the TV. If such a problem occurs, ask the manufacturer of the external device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade.

Be sure to purchase a certiﬁed HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may

occur.

✎

When a Digital Audio System is connected to the xDIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume of both the TV and the system.

5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

When the receiver (home theater) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s optical jack. When the

TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the home theater receiver. If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.

AUDIO OUT ✎: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier/home theater.

When connecting, use the appropriate connector (sold separately).

Similarly, if you block the TV-G category, then all the categories in the young adult group will be blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V) work similarly. So, if you block the L sub-rating in TV-PG, then the L sub-ratings in T V-14 and TV-MA will automatically be blocked.

Certain types of USB Digital camera and audio devices may not be compatible with this TV.

Media Play only supports USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) devices. MSC is a Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only

Transport device. Examples of MSC are Thumb drives, Flash Card Readers and USB HDD (USB HUB are not supported). Devices should be connected directly to the TV’s USB port.

Before connecting your device to the TV, please back up your files to prevent them from damage or loss of data.

SAMSUNG is not responsible for any data file damage or data loss. Connect a USB HDD to the dedicated port, xUSB (HDD) port. Do not disconnect the USB device while it is loading.

The higher the resolution of the image, the longer it takes to display on the screen.

The maximum supported JPEG resolution is 15360X8640 pixels.

For unsupported or corrupted files, the “Not Supported File Format” message is displayed.

If the files are sorted by Basic View, up to 1000 files can be displayed in each folder.

MP3 files with DRM that have been downloaded from a non-free site cannot be played. Digital Rights Management

If more than two MSC devices are connected, some of them may not be recognized. A USB device that requires high

power (more than 500mA or 5V) may not be supported. If an over-power warning message is displayed while you are connecting or using a USB device, the device may not

be recognized or may malfunction. If the TV has been no input during time set in xAuto Protection Time, the Screensaver will run. The power-saving mode of some external hard disk drives may be released automatically when connected to the TV.

If a USB extension cable is used, the USB device may not be recognized or the files on the device may not be read.

If a USB device connected to the TV is not recognized, the list of files on the device is corrupted or a file in the list is

not played, connect the USB device to the PC, format the device and check the connection. If a file deleted from the PC is still found when Media Play is run, use the “Empty the Recycle Bin” function on the PC
