Precautions When Displaying a Still Image
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.
•
Digital Ready TV: When you
select the regular screen (4:3)
mode to watch an SD-grade
digital broadcast (and the set-top
box output is 480p).
•
Digital Ready TV: When you
select the wide screen (16:9)
mode to watch an SD-grade
digital broadcast (and the set-top
box output is 1080i).
Although digital broadcasting must be in the
wide screen (16:9) HD format, broadcasters
sometimes show programs made originally
in the regular screen format (4:3) by
converting the signals into digital form, in
which case the left and right side edges of
the screen are cropped.
Note : If the borders at the left, right and the
center of the screen remain fixed for
an extended period of time, the
amount of light transmission will also
remain varied and as a result the
borders may leave traces.
Do not leave the screen in pause mode for
extended periods of time as you may
experience temporary or permanent image
burn.

Important Warranty Information
Regarding Television Format
Viewing
Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily
designed to view standard format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily
be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving.
Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars
(wide screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per week.
Wide screen format televisions (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 constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark
side-bars on non-expanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to
no more than 15% 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 any stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can
cause uneven aging of picture tubes (LCDs) that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images
in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full
screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On television models that offer picture
sizing features, use these controls to view the 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 other burned-in images, is not covered by your
Samsung limited warranty.
[Note]
If a still image is displayed for an extended period of time, residual images or blurring may appear.
When you need to leave the monitor unused for an extended period of time, adjust the settings so
that the monitor automatically goes into energy saving mode or activates the screen saver to display
moving images.

INSTALLATION
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that
look like this, see “Antennas with
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads” below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks
like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm
Round Leads” on page 8.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas” on page 8.
Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has
300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
1
Place the wires from
the twin leads under
the screws on a 30075 ohm adaptor (not
supplied). Use a

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 a an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
1
Connect both antenna
leads to the combiner.
2

box.
This terminal might be labeled
“ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT”, or
simply, “OUT”.
2
Connect the other end
of this cable to the TV
ANTENNA terminal on
the back of the TV.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the
instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths
of coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1
Find and disconnect
the cable that is
connected to the
ANTENNA IN terminal
on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled
“ANT IN”, “VHF IN”, or simply,
“IN”.

entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a
broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels
(manual).
Selecting the Video Signal-source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the
type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or a cable system).
1
Press the MENU button to
display the menu.
Press the UP/DOWN
buttons to select “Channel”,
then press the ENTER
button.

Press the UP/DOWN
buttons to select “Air/CATV”,
then press the ENTER
button.
Repeatedly press the
UP/DOWN buttons to

Using Your TV as a Computer (PC) Display
How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)
The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. However, the
actual screens on your PC will probably look different, depending upon your particular
version of Windows and your particular video card. Even if your actual screens look
different, the same, basic set-up information will apply in most cases.
(If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)
First, click on “Settings” on the
Windows start menu.
While “Settings” is highlighted,
move the cursor so that “Control
Panel” is highlighted.
When the control panel screen
appears, click on “Display” and a

Navigate to the “settings” tab on
the display dialog-box.
The two key variables that apply
the TV-PC interface are “resolution”
and “colors.” The correct settings
for these two variables are:
* Size (sometimes called
“resolution”): 1280 x 768 pixels
If a vertical-frequency option exists
on your display settings dialog box,
the correct value is “60” or “60 Hz”.
Otherwise, just click “OK” and exit
the dialog box.
