I 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 inthe 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 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.

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 Player or Cable Box/Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back

panel configuration.

The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when

DVD players/Cable Boxes/Satellite receivers supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3

are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2 jack and the audio cables to the DVl IN (HDMI2)

[R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD player/Cable Box/Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.

"_ HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.

Digital Audio System

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 channel 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 DIGITALAUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)jack on the DVD player or Cable/Satellite Box directly to an Amplifier or Home Theater, not the TV.
