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 ofthe screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed onthem should primarily be in thewide screen 16:9ratio format, or expanded to fillthe 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 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. Toavoid 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. UnevenLCD 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 Astill 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 knownas "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 on the left,

• 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.

rightand centerof the screen caused bythe 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.

installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Lift the cover at the back of the remote control upward as shown in the figure.

Install two AAA size batteries.

Make sure to match the '+' and '-' ends of the batteries withthe diagram inside the compartment.

Replace the cover.

Remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place if you won't be using the remote control for a long time. (Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries should last for about one year.)

If the remote control doesn't work, check the following:

• Is the TV power on?

• Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?

• Arethe batteries drained?

• Is there a power outage or is the power cord unplugged?

• Is there a special fluorescent light or neon sign nearby?

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 O Flat Twin Leads' below.

If your antenna has one 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'.

Antennaswith300QFlatTwinLeads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or 'rabbit ears') that has 300 O twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 Oadapter (not supplied). Usea screwdriver to tighten the screws.

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

Antennaswith75Q RoundLeads

PlugtheantennaleadintotheANT INterminalonthebackof theTV.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

If you have two separate antennas foryour 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 IN terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

Connecting Cable TV

Toconnect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

CablewithoutaCableBox

Because this TV iscable-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 theANT 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 tothe ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Connect an HDMI Cable between the HDMI IN I(DVI), 2 jack on the TV and the HDMIjack on the DVD / Blu-ray Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box). What is HDMI?

HDMl(High-Definition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.

The difference between HDMI and DVl 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-TopBox) has a different back panel configuration. The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD / Blu-ray player / CableBox

/ Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3are connected. When connecting anolder HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN I(DVl)jack and the audio cables to the PC / DVl AUDIO IN jacks on the back of the TV. Ifthis 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.

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

This connection can only be made if there is a DVI Output connector on the external device.

When a Digital Audio System is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)jack: Decrease the volume of the TV and adjust the volume levelwith 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 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 Amplifier or HomeTheater, not the TV.
