Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

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

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 Setop 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 t 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.

• Do not display a 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.

• 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 center 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.

• 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.

- Supports connections between HDMI-connection-enabled AV devices (Set-Top Boxes, DVD players)

- No additional Audio connection is needed for an HDMI to HDMI connection.

- When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN2 jack. What is HDMI?

- “High Definition Multimedia interface” allows the transmission of high definition digital video data and multiple channels of digital audio (5. 1 channels).

- 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

players/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 2 jack

and the audio cables to the DVI IN (HDMI2) "R-AUDIO-L" jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens,

contact the company that provided the DVD player/Cable Box/Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade. HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.

DVI IN (HDMI 2) (R-AUDIO-L)

- DVI audio outputs for external devices.
