Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using your TV receiver. To reduce
the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep
these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the TV
receiver.
• Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Heed all warnings on the TV receiver and in the operating
instructions.
• Follow all operating and use instructions.
• Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a
damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of
the manufacturer. Such additions may result in the risk of fire,
electric shock, or other personal injury.
• Do not use the TV receiver where contact with or immersion in
water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing
machines, swimming pools, etc.
• Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with
slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating.
Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the
TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not
place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver
on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation
and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.

Samsung Electronics America, Inc. has determined that this product or
product model meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
Important Safety Information, continued
• Do not place the TV receiver on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV receiver
may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the appliance. Use only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the TV
receiver. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the TV receiver and its cart
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the unit and cart to overturn.
• Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or
local power company.
• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so
that they are unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
• Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left
unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not
be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely
careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact
with such lines can be fatal.
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can
result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not insert foreign objects through openings in the unit, as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the TV receiver.
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the TV receiver, be sure the antenna or cable system
is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
• Do not attempt to service the
TV receiver yourself. Refer all
servicing to qualified service
personnel. Unplug the unit
from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following
conditions:

Important Safety Information, continued
- when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged
- if liquid has been spilled on or objects have fallen into the unit
- if the TV receiver has been exposed to rain or water
- if the TV receiver does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions
- if the TV receiver has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged
- when the TV receiver exhibits a distinct change in performance
If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions. Adjusting other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the TV receiver to normal.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the
unit.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV receiver, ask
the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that
the TV receiver is in a safe operating condition.

Setting Up Your Remote Control
Your Samsung TV comes equipped with a “universal” remote control.
This remote not only operates your Samsung TV, but it can operate
most VCR’s and cable boxes as well, even if your VCR and cable box
are made by other manufacturers. Before you can do this, however,
you have to “set up” the remote.
Setting Up Your Remote Control to Operate Your VCR
1 Turn off your VCR.
On your Samsung remote control, press SET.
Press the VCR button on the top right of your remote control.
✓ Your remote control has three “modes”: the “TV” mode, the “VCR” mode, and
the “CABLE” mode. Pressing the “VCR” button puts the remote control in the
“VCR” mode.
Enter both digits of the VCR code listed on the next page for your
brand of VCR.
✓ Make sure you enter both digits of the code, even if the first digit is a “0”.
If there is more than one code listed, try the first one.
Aim the remote control at the VCR. Press POWER on the remote
control. Your VCR should turn on. If your VCR turns on, your
remote control is now “Setup” correctly
✓ If your VCR does not turn on, repeat steps 2, 3, and 4, but try one of the other
codes listed for your brand of VCR.
If no other codes are listed, try each VCR code, oo through 72.
Once your remote control is set up, press the VCR button any time
you want to use the remote to operate your VCR.
✓ When your remote control is in the “VCR” mode, the volume buttons still con-
trol your TV’s volume.
When your remote is in the “TV” mode, the VCR control buttons (PLAY, PAUSE,
etc.) will still operate your VCR.
