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. Constant displaying of still pictures can cause uneven wear of the screen phosphor, which will affect image quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow below recommendations:

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.•

Securing the Installation Space

Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to do so may result in ﬁre or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.

When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

✎

If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.

The appearance may differ depending on the product.

Connecting to an AV Device

Using an HDMI / DVI Cable: HD connection (up to 1080p)

We recommend using the HDMI connection for the best quality HD picture. Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, HD cable box, HD satellite receiver (STB).

HDMI IN 1(DVI), 2, 3, 4 / PC/DVI AUDIO IN

✎

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

If an external device such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting

HDMI versions older than 1.3 is connected, the TV may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display / no sound / annoying ﬂicker abnormal Color).

If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you suspect the

version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to conﬁrm the HDMI version and request an upgrade. It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certiﬁed cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a connection

error may occur.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)

✎

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.

You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a Cat y 5 cable. See the diagram below.

You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to a router which is connected to y an external modem. Use Cat 5 cable for the connection. See the diagram below.

Depending on how your network is conﬁgured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN y port on the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet using a Cat 5 cable. See the diagram below. Note that the wall outlet is attached to a modem or router elsewhere in your house.

If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you don’t have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks. Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a Windows computer, you can also get these values through your computer.

You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a Static IP address. ADSL modems that

✎

support DHCP also let you use Static IP addresses.

Connecting Wireless Network ¦

To connect your TV to your network wirelessly, you need a wireless router or modem and a Samsung Wireless LAN Adaptor (WIS09ABGN), which you connect to your TV’s back or side panel USB jack. See the illustration below.

(AP having DHCP Server)

Samsung Wireless

LAN Adapter

TV Side Panel

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11A/B/G and N communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11N. When you play video over a IEEE 802.11B/G connection, the video may not play smoothly.

NOTE

✎

You must use the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGN) to use a wireless network.

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately. The WIS09ABGN Wireless LAN adapter is offered by select retailers,

Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com. To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP sharer supports DHCP, your

TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network. Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer is

currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure. If you apply a security system other than the systems listed blow, it will not work with the TV.

If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or

TKIPAES(WPS2Mixed) for your AP, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.

If your AP supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network via PBC (Push Button Configuration) or

PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in either mode. Keep the Samsung Wireless LAN Adaptor at a distance from the TV. If you watch the TV with the adaptor connected

nearby, images may appear corrupted for some channels. If your router, modem, or device isn’t, it may not connect to the TV via the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.”

Connection Methods x: You can setup the wireless network connection four ways:

PBC (WPS) –

Auto Setup (Using the Auto Network Search function) – Manual Setup – Ad-Hoc –

All of Samsung Wireless LAN Adaptor shoud be connected directly to the TV's USB port. USB HUB are not supported.

Notice

The picture may appear corrupted for some channels when the TV is connected to the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.

If Your TV Fails to Connect to the Internet

Your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet because your ISP has permanently registered the MAC address (a unique identifying number) of your PC or modem, which it then authenticates each time you connect to the Internet as a way of preventing unauthorized access. As your TV has a different MAC address, your ISP can not authenticate its MAC address, and your TV can not connect.

To resolve this problem, ask your ISP about the procedures required to connect devices other than a PC (such as your TV) to the Internet.

If your Internet service provider requires an ID or password to connect to the Internet, your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet. If this is the case, you must enter your ID or password when connecting to the Internet.

The internet connection may fail because of a ﬁrewall problem. If this is the case, contact your Internet service provider.

If you cannot connect to the Internet even after you have followed the procedures of your Internet service provider, please contact Samsung Electronics.
