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 in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to

ll 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.

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.

●

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.

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.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

If your antenna has a set of leads that look like the diagram to the right, see ‘Antennas with

300 Ω Flat Twin Leads’ below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like the diagram to the right, see ‘Antennas with 75 Ω

Round Leads’. If you have two antennas, see ‘Separate VHF and UHF Antennas’.

Antennaswith300ΩFlatTwinLeads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or ‘rabbit ears’) that has 300 Ω twin at leads, follow the directions below.

1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 Ω adapter

(not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Antennaswith75ΩRoundLeads

Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

ANT IN

Separate VHF and UHF 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.

Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

Connecting Cable TV

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Cable without a Cable Box

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 Descrambles 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’.

Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal 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 instructions below. You will need a twoway splitter, an RF (A/B) switch and four lengths of RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

RF (A/B) Switch

1. Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled ‘ANT IN’, ‘VHF IN’ or simply, ‘IN’.

Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

. Connect an RF cable between the OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.

Connect an RF cable between the ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.

. Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.

Connect the last RF cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT IN terminal on the rear of the TV.

After you have made this connection, set the A/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.)

Connecting a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) via HDMI

If you have a ‘mono’ (non-stereo) VCR, use a Y-connector (not supplied) to connect to the right and left audio input jacks

of the TV. Alternatively, connect the cable to the ‘R’ jack. If your VCR is stereo, you must connect two cables.

Each VCR has a different back panel conguration.

When connecting a VCR, match the color of the connection terminal to the cable.

Connecting a Digital Audio System

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

Digital Audio System

Optical Cable (Not supplied)

1. Connect an Optical Cable between the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jacks on the TV and the Digital Audio Input jacks

on the Digital Audio System.

When a Digital Audio System is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack:

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 conguration.

When the Home Theater receiver 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 channel sound to the Home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) 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 jack on DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) directly to an

Amplier or Home Theater, not the TV.
