Setting up Your PC Software (Windows only)

ENG

The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. But the actual screens on your
PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular
video card. But 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.)

On the windows screen, select in the following
sequence:

Start ➞ Settings ➞ Control Panel.

When the control panel screen appears, click on
Display and a display dialog-box will appear.

Select the

Settings tab in the display dialog-box.

The two key variables that apply the television-PC
interface are “Resolution” and “Colours”.
The correct settings for these two variables are:

◆ Size (sometimes called “Resolution”)
1024 x 768 pixels.

◆ Colour
24-bit colour (might also be expressed as “16
million colours”)
Shown at left is a typical screen for “Display”
dialog box.

If a vertical-frequency option exists on your display
settings dialog box, the correct value is

60 Hz.

Otherwise, just click

OK and exit the dialog box.

ENG

Input Mode (PC/DVI)

Both screen position and size will vary depending on the type of PC monitor and its resolution.
The table below shows all of the display modes that are supported:

(N: Negative / P: Positive)

◆ The interlace mode is not supported.

◆ The television might operate abnormally if a non-standard video format is selected.

◆ The 4:3 mode does not work with input signals from “720 x 400”.

◆ The DVI mode does not support “1024 x 768” (85Hz).

Notes

◆ The text quality of PC screen is optimum in the XGA mode (1024 x 768), the full size displayed PC

mode is optimum in the SVGA mode (800 x 600).

◆ When this television is used as a PC display, 24-bit colour is supported (over 16 million colours).

◆ Your PC display screen might appear different depending on the manufacturer (and your particular version of

Windows). Check your PC instruction book for information about connecting your PC to a television.

◆ If a vertical and horizontal frequency-select mode exists, select 60Hz (vertical) and 31.5kHz (horizontal).
In some cases, abnormal signals (such as stripes) might appear on the screen when the PC power is turned
off (or if the PC is disconnected). If so, press the

Source button to enter the Video mode. Also, make sure that

the PC is connected.

◆ When connecting a notebook PC to the television, make sure that the PC screen is displayed through only the
television (Otherwise, random signals might appear).

◆ When horizontal synchronous signals seem irregular in PC mode, check PC power saving mode or cable
connections.

Wiring the Mains Power Supply Plug (UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the
pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BSI1362 of the same rating must be used. Never use the plug
with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the
pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in
your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead
or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cut off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely
dispose of the plug. Do NOT connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL, WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E OR BY

THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.
