important Warranty information Regarding Television Format Viewing

See the warranty card for more information onwarranty 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 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 belimited 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 toview different formats as afull screen picture.

Becareful 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.

• 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 a_r-images. To prevent this effect, reduce the 'brightness' and 'contrast' when displaying still images.

rightand 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.

Install two AAA size batteries.

Make sure to match the '+' and '-' ends of the batteries with the diagram insidethe compartment.

Replace the cover.

Remove the batteries andstore 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?

• Are the batteries drained?

• Is there a power outage oris 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 diagramto the right, see 'Antennas with 75 O Round Leads'.

If you have two antennas, see 'Separate VHF and UHF Antennas'.

Antennaswith 300Q FlatTwinLeads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such asa roof antenna or 'rabbit ears') that has 3000 twin

flat leads, follow the directions below.

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

Antennaswith 75Q RoundLeads

PlugtheantennaleadintotheANTINterminalonthebackoftheTV.

Separate VHF and UFIF 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.

2. Plug the combiner into the ANT INterminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

Connecting Cable TV

Toconnect to a cableTV system,follow the instructions below.

Cablewithout aCableBox

Signal Strength (digital channels only) Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from =snowy'to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect

reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however, adjustyour antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.

If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength. Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the strongest signal.
