Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

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

Do not display a still image and partially still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen



image retention. This image retention is also known as screen burn. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.



Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.



To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.

WARNINGS:

■

Image retention, commonly known as screen burn-in, can occur on most types of television if the same image is displayed continuously. The most common causes of image retention are logos that remain stationary on the TV screen. These logos are common on many programmes received via a Set-top Box.

To reduce this risk, avoid displaying still images for long durations and lower the brightness or contrast settings to decrease the intensity of the picture. Extended viewing of movies and programs in aspect ratios that are different from the aspect ratio of the TV may cause image retention. Always endeavour to avoid black borders top or bottom by using the zoom function. This will help eliminate the black borders and fit the picture to the entire area of the screen. Using a video game console may cause image retention and is not recommended. When using a PC input, avoid displaying still images for long durations and reduce the brightness or contrast settings to decrease the intensity of the picture.

IMPORTANT:

■

Image retention issues are not covered by your Samsung® warranty.

Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and centre of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen. Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

Securing the TV to the Wall

Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure your children do not hang over or destabilize the TV; doing so may cause the TV to tip over, causing serious injuries or death. Follow all safety precautions provided on the included Safety Flyer. For added stability, install the anti-fall device for safety purposes, as follows.

To avoid the TV from falling:

Put the screws into the clamps and firmly fasten them onto the wall. Confirm that the

screws have been firmly installed onto the wall.

You may need additional material such as an anchor depending on the type of

■

wall. Since the necessary clamps, screws, and string are not supplied, please

■

purchase these additionally.

Remove the screws from the centre back of the TV, put the screws into the clamps,

and then fasten the screws onto the TV again.

Screws may not be supplied with the product. In this case, please purchase the

■

screws of the following specifications. Screw Specifications:

■

For a 32 ~ 40 Inch LCD TV: M6 X 15



Wall

Connect the clamps fixed onto the TV and the clamps fixed onto the wall with a strong

string and then tie the string tightly.

Install the TV near to the wall so that it does not fall backwards.

■

It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps fixed on the wall are equal to or

■

lower than the clamps fixed on the TV. Untie the string before moving the TV.

■

Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check connections for any

sign of fatigue for failure. If you have any doubt about the security of your connections, contact a professional installer.

What is HDMI?

■

‘High Denition Multimedia interface’ allows the transmission of high denition digital video data and multiple channels of

digital audio.

The HDMI / DVI terminal supports DVI connection to an extended device with the appropriate cable (not supplied).

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.

The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal colour when DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable

■

Boxes / Satellite receivers supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable

and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack and the audio cables to the PC/DVI AUDIO

IN jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box /

Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI version, then request a firmware update. HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause

annoying flicker or no screen display.

COMPONENT IN

Connect component video cables (optional) to component connector (PR, PB, Y) on the rear of your set and the other ends

■

to corresponding component video out connectors on the DTV or DVD.

If you wish to connect both the Set-Top Box and DTV (or DVD), you should connect the Set-Top Box to the DTV (or DVD)

■

and connect the DTV (or DVD) to component connector (PR, PB, Y) on your set.

The PR, PB and Y connectors on your component devices (DTV or DVD) are sometimes labelled Y, B-Y and R-Y or Y, Cb

■
