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.

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".
Antennas with 300 _ Flat Twin Leads
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 _ adapter (not
supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2, Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Antennas with 75 _ Round Leads
1, Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
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. -"l_i':_"_,

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.
