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.

Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock or news bars at screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of still pictures can cause ghosting of LCD screen, which will affect image quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow below recommendations:
Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.• Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.• Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout •
process. Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.•
Securing the Installation Space
Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to do so may result in fire or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.
When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the xHDMI (DVI) IN 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

SRS TruSurround HD (Off / On)
SRS TruSurround HD is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats.
Preferred Language
(digital channels only) Digital-TV broadcasts are capable of
simultaneous transmission of many audio tracks (for example, simultaneous translations of the program into foreign languages).
You can only select a language among
the ones being broadcasted.

(analog channels only)
Mono : Choose for channels that are broadcasting in mono or if you are having difficulty receiving a stereo signal.
Stereo : Choose for channels that are broadcasting in stereo.
SAP : Choose to listen to the Separate Audio Program, which is usually a foreign-language translation.
Depending on the particular program being broadcast,
you can listen to Mono, Stereo or SAP.
Auto Volume (Off / Normal)
Because each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, the volume may fluctuate each time channel is changed. This feature lets you automatically adjust the volume of the desired channel by lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or by raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low.
Speaker Select (External Speaker / TV Speaker)
A sound echo may occur due to a difference in decoding speed between the main speaker and the audio receiver. In this case, set the TV to External Speaker.
When Speaker Select is set to External Speaker, the volume and MUTE buttons will not operate and the sound settings will be limited.
When Speaker Select is set to External Speaker, you should use these settings.
