If your antenna has one lead that looks
like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm
Round Leads” on page 7.

If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas” on page 7.

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.

Memorizing the Channels

Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna)
and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH
buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by
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.

2

Repeatedly press the
ENTER button to
cycle through these
choices:
Air, STD, HRC or IRC
(all cable TV).

Press the

UP/DOWN

buttons to select the
Video signal source,
then press the
ENTER button.

Press the EXIT button
to exit.

Note : STD, HRC and IRC identify various types of cable

TV systems. Contact your local cable company to identify
the type of cable system that exists in your particular area.

At this point, the signal source has been selected.
Proceed to “Storing Channels in Memory” (next page).

A highlighted letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is
highlighted, press the

ENTER

()buttons to change the sub-rating.

(Or proceed to the next section, and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAAcodes).

OPERATION

See the next step to change any of the following sub-ratings:

FV: Fantasy Violence
D: Sexual suggestive Dialog
L: Adult Language
S: Sexual situation
V: Violence

Note 2: The V-Chip will automatically block certain categories that are “more restrictive.” For example,

if you block “TV-Y” category, then TV-Y7 will automatically be blocked. Similarly, if you block
the TV-G category, then all the categories in the “young adult” group will be blocked
(TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V) work together similarly.

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
display dialog-box will appear.

Navigate to the “settings” tab on
the display dialog-box.

The two key variables that apply to
the TV-PC interface are “resolution”
and “colors.” The correct settings
for these two variables are:

* Size (

sometimes called “resolution”

):
15" 1024 x 768 pixels
17" 1280 x 1024 pixels
20" 640 x 480 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.

Adjusting the Screen Quality

The purpose of the picture quality adjustment is to remove or reduce picture noise.
If the noise is not removed by fine tuning alone, then do the frequency adjustments to
the utmost and fine tune again. After the noise has been reduced, re-adjust the picture
so that it is aligned to the center of the screen.
