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.

2

Connect the other end
of this cable to the
ANT IN 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

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,

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.
