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 next page.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate VHF and UHF Antennas,” on
next page.
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.
1
Place the wires from the twin
leads under the screws on the
300-75 ohm adapter (not
supplied). Use a screwdriver
to tighten the screws.
2
Plug the adapter into the “ANT
IN” terminal on the rear panel.
English - 10
INSTALLATION
Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
Plug the antenna lead into the
“ANT IN” terminal on 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-adapter (available at most electronics shops).
1
Connect both antenna leads to
the combiner.
2
Plug the combiner into the
“ANT IN” terminal on the rear
panel.

2
Connect the other end of this
cable to the “ANT IN” terminal
on the rear panel.
English - 12
INSTALLATION
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.)
œ This terminal might be

“ANT IN” terminal on the rear
panel.
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.)
English - 13
INSTALLATION

Before your TV 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).

Viewing Closed Caption Information
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions information that is broadcast along with
some television shows. These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or
translations into other languages. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television
programs, so pre-recorded video tapes can also deliver closed-caption information. Check for
the closed caption symbol ( ) on the tape’s package or your TV program-schedule.
