important Warranty information Regarding Television Format Viewing
See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.
Wide screen format LCD Displays (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 inthe wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to
fill the screen if your model offers this feature and the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images
on screen, such as the dark sidebars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should belimited to no
more than 5% of the total television viewing per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station Iogos, web sites
or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above forall televisions. Displaying stationary images that
exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of LCD Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in
the LCD picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary
patterns or dark bars.
On LCD models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls toview different formats as afull screen picture.
Becareful inthe selection and duration of television formats used forviewing. Uneven LCD aging as a result of format selection
and use, as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limitedwarranty.

Precautions When Displaying a Still image
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen
• 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 onthe left,
• Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial a_r-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the 'brightness' and 'contrast' when displaying still images.

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.

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna hasa set of leads that look like the diagram to the right, see 'Antennas with 300
O Flat Twin Leads' below.
If your antenna hasone lead that looks like the diagram to the right, see 'Antennas with 75 O
Round Leads'.
If you have two antennas, see 'Separate VHF and UHF Antennas'.
Antennaswith 300Q FlatTwinLeads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or 'rabbit ears') that has 3000 twin
flat leads, follow the directions below.
1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 O adapter (not
supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2. Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Antennaswith 75Q RoundLeads
PlugtheantennaleadintotheANTINterminalonthebackof theTV.
Separate VHF and UFIF 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).
1. Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
2. Plug the combiner into the ANT INterminal on the bottom of the rear panel.
Connecting Cable TV
Toconnect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cablewithout aCableBox
Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable
channels.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Deserambles All Channels
1. Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled 'ANT OUT', 'VHF OUT' or simply, 'OUT'.
2. Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT INterminal on the back of the TV.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructionsbelow. You will need atwo-
way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch and four lengths of RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

RF(NB} Switch
i. Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to theANT IN terminal onyour cable box.
This terminal might be labeled 'ANT IN', 'VHF IN'or simply, 'IN'.
2. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3. Connect an RF cable between the OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4. Connect an RF cable between theANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B-IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
6. Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A-IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6. Connect the last RF cable between the OUT terminal onthe RF (A/B) switch and the ANT INterminal on the rear of the TV.
After you have made this connection, set theA/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.)

What is HDMI?
%
o
HDMl(High-Definition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals
using a single cable.
o
The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital
Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
Each DVD/ Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) hasa different back panel configuration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal colorwhen DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box /
Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI
cable and there is no sound, connectthe HDMI cable to the HDMI (DVl) INjack and the audio cables to the DVmAUDIO
mNJR-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD/ Blu-ray player /
Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.

reception quality oryou will not receive them at all. So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. Youcan,
however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.
If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal isweak, physically adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength.
Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position withthe strongest signal.
