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 side-bars 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.

INSTALLATION

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see “Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads” below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads”, on page next.

If you have two antennas, see “Separate VHF and UHF Antennas”, on page next.

Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has 300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on the 30075 ohm adaptor (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Plug the adaptor into the VHF/UHF terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

INSTALLATION

Connecting Cable TV

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Cable without a Cable Box

▼

Plug the incoming cable into the VHF/UHF antenna terminal on back of the TV.

Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable channels.

Plug the combiner into the VHF/UHF terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires a an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

Connect both antenna leads to t he combiner.

Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads

Plug the antenna lead into the VHF/UHF terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

INSTALLATION

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

▼

Find the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT” or simply, “OUT”.

Connect the other end of this cable to the VHF/UHF antenna terminal on the back of the TV.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch and four lengths of coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

▼

Find and disconnect the cable t hat is connected to the ANTENNAIN terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled

“ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply, “IN”.

Connect this cable to a two-way split ter.

Connect a coaxial cable between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.

These instructions assume that you have already connected your TV to an antenna or a cable TV system (according to the instructions on pages 9-11). Skip step 1 if you have not yet connected to an antenna or a cable system.

Unplug the cable or antenna from the back of the TV.

Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.

Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.

Connect the last coaxial cable bet ween the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the VHF/UHF terminal on the rear of the TV.

After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B”, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

Memorizing the Channels

Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).

Selecting the Video Signal-source

Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or a cable system).

Press the MENU button to display the menu.

Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select “Channel”, then press the ENTER button

Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select “Air/CATV”, then press the ENTER but ton

Note: STD, HRC and IRC identify various types of cable TV systems. Contact your local cable company to identify the type of cable system that exists in your particular area.

At this point the signal source has been selected. Proceed to “Storing Channels in Memory” (next page).

SPECIAL FEATURES

Extra sound settings (Auto Volume, Turbo Sound or Pseudo Stereo)

The following sound settings can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences

• Auto Volume

Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, which can make it necessary to adjust the volume every time the channel is changed. “Auto volume” lets you automatically adjust the volume of the desired channel by lowering the sound out put when the modulation signal is high or by raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low.

• Turbo Sound

Turbo sound emphasizes the bass and treble frequencies to add fullness to the sound. You can select the turbo sound by simply pressing the “TURBO” button on the remote control.

• Pseudo Stereo

Cleaning and Maintaining Your TV

With proper care, your TV unit will give you many years of service. Please follow these guidelines to get the maximum performance from your TV.

Placement

• Do not place the TV near extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places.

• Do not place the TV near appliances with electric motors that create magnetic fields,

such as vacuum cleaners.

• Keep the ventilation openings clear; do not place the TV on a soft surface, such as cloth or paper.
