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.

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

INSTALLATION

Chapter Two

Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on the 300-75 ohm adaptor (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Plug the adaptor into the “ANT 1 IN” terminal on the rear panel.

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.

Plug the antenna lead into the “ANT 1 IN” terminal on the rear panel.

Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads

Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

Plug the combiner into the “ANT 1 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 an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

BP68-00342A-00Eng_TV 3/30/04 8:51 PM Page 11

INSTALLATION

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

Connect the other end of this cable to the “ANT 1 IN” terminal on the rear panel.

Cable with a Cable box that Descrambles All Channels

œ This terminal might be labeled

“ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT”,or simply “OUT”.

Plug the incoming cable into the “ANT 1 IN” terminal on the rear panel.

Connecting Cable TV

You can connect different cable systems to your TV, including cable without a cable box, and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels.

Cable without a Cable Box

If you want to connect cable, and you do not need to use a cable box:

BP68-00342A-00Eng_TV 3/30/04 8:51 PM Page 12

INSTALLATION

Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal on your cable box.

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.)

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

œ This terminal might be labeled

“ANT IN”, “VHF IN”,or simply “IN”.

Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal on the cable box and the B-IN terminal on the 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 between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the “ANT 1 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.)

BP68-00342A-00Eng_TV 3/31/04 9:22 AM Page 16

INSTALLATION

Connecting to DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

By inputting a high-bandwidth digital content protection high-definition picture source to the DIGITAL INPUT jack on the TV, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital forms. (This DIGITAL INPUT jack is for use in the future when high-bandwidth digital content protection DTV decoders, DVD players and D-VHS are put on the market.)

Connect a set of audio cables between the “DVI IN (AUDIO-L, R)” jacks on the TV and the AUDIO OUT jacks on the Set-Top Box.

Connect a video cable between the “HDMI/DVI IN” jack on the TV and the VIDEO OUT jack on the Set-Top Box.

• The DIGITAL INPUT jack can only be used with 1080i and 480p picture signals. Set the DTV decoder DIGITAL OUTPUT jack output setting to 1080i or 480p. The DIGITAL INPUT jack is not compatible with the picture signal of a PC.

Connecting to HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

Connect a HDMI cable between the “HDMI/DVI IN” jacks on the TV and the HDMI OUT jacks on the SetTop Box.

Please check that the HDMI source is powered on. If not, you can not select “HDMI” in the “Source List” on-screen menu.

BP68-00342A-00Eng_TV 3/31/04 9:22 AM Page 17

INSTALLATION

Connecting a Camcorder

The side panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a camcorder to your TV. They allow you to view the camcorder tapes without using a VCR.

Locate the A/V output jacks on the camcorder. They are usually found on the side or rear of the camcorder.

Connect a set of audio cables between the “AV 3 (L, R)” jacks on the TV and the AUDIO OUT jacks on the camcorder.

If you have mono camcorder, connect L(mono) to camcorder audio out using only one audio cable.

Connect a video cable between the “AV 3 (VIDEO)” (or “S-VIDEO2 INPUT”) jack on the TV and the VIDEO OUT jacks on the camcorder.

The audio-video cables shown here are usually included with a Camcorder. (If not, check your local electronics store.) If your camcorder is stereo, you need to connect a set of two cables.

Connecting to the Digital Audio Input

The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a device with digital audio output. After making a connection, set the audio input by reference to page 51.

Connect a audio (or optical) cable between the “COAXIAL IN” (or “OPTICAL IN”) jack on the TV and the AUDIO OUT jack on a device with digital audio output.

BP68-00342A-00Eng_TV 3/31/04 9:22 AM Page 18

INSTALLATION

Slide the back cover all the way out to open the battery compartment of the remote control.

Install two AAA size batteries.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

œ Make sure to match the “+” and “

Selecting the Video Signal Source

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).

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.
