Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing
Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view standard format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars (wide screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per week.
Wide screen format televisions (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion 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 constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side­bars on non-expanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 15% 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 any stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On television models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view the different formats as a full screen picture. Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

Equalizer
The television has several settings which allow you to control the sound quality.
If you make any changes to these settings, the
sound mode is automatically switched to Custom.
Auto Volume
Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, and so it is not easy to adjust the volume every time the 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.
Pseudo Stereo
This feature converts a monaural sound signal into two identical left and right channels. Once the Pseudo Stereo is set to On or Off, these settings apply to the sound effects such as Standard, Music, Movie, and Speech.
Turbo Plus
This feature suitably emphasizes both higher and lower bands of sound (and includes other effects). You can enjoy more magnificent and dynamic sound when watching music, movie, or other channels.
You can change the options simply by pressing the
TURBO button on the remote control.
Teletext Feature
Most television stations provide written information services via teletext. The index page of the teletext service gives you information on how to use the service. In addition, you can select various options to suit your requirements by using the remote control buttons.
For teletext information to be displayed correctly,
channel reception must be stable. Otherwise, information may be missing or some pages may not be displayed.
