important Warranty information Regarding Television Format Viewing

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 in the 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 side-bars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited 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 for all 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 to view different formats as a full screen picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven LCD aging as a result of format selection and use,

as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

Connecting a DigitalAudio System

The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a Digital Audio System (Home theater/Receiver) to your TV.

When a Digital Audio System

is connected to the "DIGITAL

Decrease the volume of the
TV and adjust the volume

level with the system's volume
control.

5.1CH audio is possible when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1CH.
Each Digital Audio System has a different back panel configuration.

When the receiver (home theater) is set to On, you can hear sound output from the TV's
Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a DTV(air) signal, the TV will send out 5.1 chan-

nel sound to the Home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such as

a DVD and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 channel sound will be heard from the

Home Theater receiver. If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO

OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DVD player or Cable/Satellite Box directly to an Amplifier or

Home Theater, not the TV.
