Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.

•Digital Ready TV: When you select the regular screen (4:3) mode to watch an SD-grade digital broadcast (and the set-top box output is 480p).

•Digital Ready TV: When you select the wide screen (16:9) mode to watch an SD-grade digital broadcast (and the set-top box output is 1080i).

•Digital Ready TV: When the TV receives HD-grade signals

(and the set-top box output is 1080i).

Although digital broadcasting must be in the wide screen (16:9) HD format, broadcasters sometimes show programs made originally in the regular screen format (4:3) by converting the signals into digital form, in which case the left and right side edges of the screen are cropped.

Note : If the borders at the left, right and the center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

When you watch a digital HD-grade broadcast on a regular (4:3) TV with the screen size "16:9" or "Panorama" selected, you will be able to watch the program but the top and bottom edges of the screen will be cropped.

Note : If the borders at the top, bottom and the center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

•Integrated Digital TV (Wide-screen): When the TV receives SD-grade (regular) broadcasting signals (receives 480p regular signals).

•Digital Ready TV (wide-screen): digital TV: When the TV receives SD-grade (regular) broadcasting signals (with a set-top box).

•When you watch an analog (regular) broadcast on a wide-screen TV (with the 4:3 screen mode selected).

•When you watch a DVD, CD or a video in wide-screen (21:9) format on a wide-screen (16:9) TV.

•When you connect a computer or a game console to the TV and select the 4:3 screen mode.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

If you connect a DVD player, computer or a game console to the wide-screen TV and watch a movie or play a game in regular (4:3) or wide (21:9) screen mode, the left and right side edges, or the top and bottom edges of the screen will be cropped.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

Viewing the Connection Panel

Connecting HDMI/DVI

-Supports connections between HDMI-connection-enabled AV devices (set top boxes, DVD players, AV receivers and digital TVs).

-No sound connection is needed for an HDMI to HDMI connection.

What is HDMI?

-HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable without compression.

-“Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels).The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi - channel digital audio.

-Use the HDMI/DVI terminal for DVI connection to an extended device.

You should use the DVI-to-HDMI cable or DVI-HDMI Adapter for the connection, and the “R - AUDIO - L” terminal on DVI for sound output.

Connecting Computer

-Connect the D- Sub cable to “PC (PC IN)” on the rear of your set and the other end to the Video Card of your computer.

-Connect the stereo audio cable to “AUDIO (PC IN)” on the rear of your set and the other end to “Audio Out” of the sound card on your computer.

Connecting AUDIO

-Connect RCA audio cables to “R - AUDIO - L” on the rear of your set and the other ends to corresponding audio in connectors on the Amplifier or DVD Home Theater.
