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 fullmotion 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 sidebars 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 logos, 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.

Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture ﬁles) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock or news bars at screen bottom etc.) on the screen.

Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.•

Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.•

Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout • process.

Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.•

HDMI IN 1(DVI)

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the

, 2, 3, 4 / PC/DVI AUDIO IN

HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray

player, HD cable box, HD STB satellite receiver, cable box, or STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio. The picture may not display normally (if at all) or the audio may not work if an external device that uses an older

version of HDMI mode is connected to the TV. If such a problem occurs, ask the manufacturer of the external device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade.

Be sure to purchase a certiﬁed HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may

occur.

✎

When a Digital Audio System is connected to the xDIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume of both the TV and the system.

5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

When the receiver (home theater) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s optical jack. When the

TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the home theater receiver. If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.

AUDIO OUT ✎: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier/home theater.

When connecting, use the appropriate connector (sold separately).

When an audio amplifier is connected to the xAUDIO OUT jacks: Decrease the volume of the TV and adjust the volume level with the amplifier’s volume control.
