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.
10
2
Plug the adapter into the “ANT
IN” terminal on the rear panel.
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.
11
INSTALLATION
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:
Plug the incoming cable into
the “ANT IN” terminal on the
rear panel.
Cable with a Cable box that Descrambles All Channels
œ This terminal might be

2
Connect the other end of this
cable to the “ANT IN” terminal
on the rear panel.
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

5
Connect the last coaxial cable
between the OUT terminal on
the RF (A/B) switch and the
“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.)
13
INSTALLATION
Connecting a VCR
These instructions assume that you have already connected your TV to an antenna or a cable
TV system (according to the instructions on pages 10-13). Skip step 1 if you have not yet
connected to an antenna or a cable system.
1
Connect a coaxial cable between the “ANT IN”
terminal on the TV and the ANTENNA OUT terminal on
the VCR.
A coaxial cable is usually included with a VCR. (If
not, check your local electronics store).
2
Connect a set of audio cables between the “AV IN 1

(L, R)” jacks on the TV and the AUDIO IN jacks on the
VCR.
(The VCR input jacks might be either on the front or
rear of the VCR.)
2
Connect a video cable between the “AV OUT (VIDEO)”
jack on the TV and the VIDEO IN jack on the VCR.
Refer to your VCR’s instructions for more information
about how to record using this kind of connection.

TV Side Panel (HC-P4241W)
2
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.
3
Connect a video cable between the “AV 3 (VIDEO)” (or “SVIDEO”) 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.
• This figure shows the Standard connector-jack panel. The actual configuration for your TV may be
different.
INSTALLATION
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
1
Slide the back cover all the
way out to open the battery
compartment of the remote
control.
