Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing ❑

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms. N

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 ll 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 logos, 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.

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

Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may ● produce partial after-images. To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.

of borders displayed on the left, right and 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.

inside the compartment.

Remove the batteries and store 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 or is the power cord unplugged? ● Is there a special uorescent light or neon sign nearby? ●

CONNECTIONS

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 Ω

Flat Twin Leads’ below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like the diagram to the

right, see ‘Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads’.

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

Antennaswith300ΩFlatTwinLeads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or

‘rabbit ears’) that has 300Ω twin at leads, follow the directions

below.

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

75 Ω 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ΩRoundLeads

Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

ANT IN

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.

2. Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of

the rear panel.

Connecting Cable TV ¦

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

ANT IN

Cable without a Cable Box

Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box

to view unscrambled cable channels.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

1. Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on

your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled ‘ANT OUT’, ‘VHF OUT’ or

simply, ‘OUT’.

2. Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on

the back of the TV.

ANT IN ANT OUT

ANT IN

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 RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

1. Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled ‘ANT IN’, ‘VHF IN’ or simply, ‘IN’.

2. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

3. Connect an RF cable between the OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on

the cable box.

4. Connect an RF cable between the ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal

on the RF(A/B) switch.

5. Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN terminal

on the RF (A/B) switch.

6. Connect the last RF cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT IN

terminal on the rear of the TV. After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the ‘A’ position for normal viewing. Set

the A/B switch to the ‘B’ position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to ‘B’, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

What is HDMI? N

HDMI(High-Denition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the transmission of

● digital audio and video signals using a single cable. The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the ● HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.

Each DVD / Blu-Ray player / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel N

conguration.

The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD /

Blu-Ray player / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) 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 jack and the audio cables to the DVI-D IN jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-Ray player / Satellite receiver

(Set-Top Box) to conrm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade. HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying icker or no screen display.

When prompted by the operating system for the monitor driver, insert the CD included in this N product. For details, please refer to User’s Guide in CD.

Setting Up Your PC Software (Based on Windows XP)

The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. The actual screens on your PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular video card. However, even if your actual screens look different, the same basic set-up information will apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)

1. First, click on ‘Control Panel’ on the Windows start menu.

2. When the control panel window appears, click on ‘Appearance and Themes’ and a display dialog-

box will appear.

3. When the control panel window appears, click on ‘Display’ and a display dialog-box will appear.

4. Navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab on the display dialog-box.

The correct size setting (resolution): Optimum: 1920 X 1080 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.

Display Modes

If the signal from the system equals the standard signal mode, the screen is adjusted automatically. If the signal from the system doesn’t equal the standard signal mode, adjust the mode by referring to your videocard user guide; otherwise there may be no video. For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized during manufacturing.
