Thank You for Choosing Samsung
Thank you for choosing Samsung! Your new Samsung Projection TV represents the latest in
television technology. We designed it with easy-to-use on-screen menus and closed captioning
capabilities, making it one of the best products in its class. We are proud to offer you a product
that will provide convenient, dependable service and enjoyment for years to come.
Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using your TV receiver. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your TV.
• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Heed all warnings on the TV receiver and in the operating instructions.
• Follow all operating and use instructions.
• Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such
additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
• Do not use the TV receiver where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as
near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
• Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table where it can fall. A falling TV can cause serious injury to a
child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the TV. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the TV and cart with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the
unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn.
• Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for
ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and
do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near
a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack or bookcase, ensure that
there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for
mounting.
• Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer
or local power company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked on
or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep
from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric
shock.
• Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
• Do not attempt to service the TV yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
- when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged
- if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit
- if the TV has been exposed to rain or water
- if the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
- if the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
- when the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance
• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to normal.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in a safe operating condition.

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 (CRTs) 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
CRT aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is
not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

2.1 CHAPTER TWO: 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 2.2.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas,” on page 2.2.
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 300ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
Chapter Two
INSTALLATION
1
Place the wires from the
twin leads under the
screws on the 300-75
ohm adaptor (not supplied). Use a screwdriver
to tighten the screws.
2
Plug the adaptor into the
ANT-A or ANT-B terminal
on the rear panel.

CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION 2.2
Connecting Cable TV
You can connect different cable systems to your TV, including cable without a cable box,
and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels.
Cable without a Cable Box
If you want to connect cable, and you do not need to use a cable box:
Plug the incoming cable
into the ANT-A or ANT-B
antenna terminal on the
rear of the TV.
2
Plug the combiner into
the ANT-A or ANT-B terminal on the rear panel.
INSTALLATION
Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
Plug the antenna lead
into the ANT-A or ANT-B
terminal on the rear
panel.
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.
2.3 CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Cable with a Cable box that Descrambles All Channels
1
Find the cable that is
connected to the
ANTENNA 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-A
or ANT-B terminal on the
rear of the TV.
▼
This terminal might be labeled
“ANT IN,” “VHF IN,” or simply,
“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
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.
2
Connect this cable to a
two-way splitter.
3
Connect a coaxial cable
between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and
the IN terminal on the
cable box.
CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION 2.4
INSTALLATION
4
Connect a coaxial cable
between the ANTENNA
OUT terminal on the
cable box and the B–IN
terminal on the 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 coaxial
cable between the OUT
terminal on the RF (A/B)
switch and the VHF/UHF
terminal on the rear of
the TV.
After you’ve 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.)
2.5 CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Connecting a VCR
These instructions assume that you have already connected your TV to an antenna or a
cable TV system (according to the instructions on pages 2.1-2.3). Skip step 1 if you have
not yet connected to an antenna or a cable system.
1
Connect a coaxial cable between the
ANTENNA OUT terminal on the VCR and the
antenna terminal on the TV.
A coaxial cable is usually included with a
VCR. (If not, check your local electronics
store).
2
Connect a set of audio cables between the
AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR and the
AUDIO jacks on the TV.
If you have a mono VCR, connect L(mono)
to VCR audio out using only one audio
cable.
3
Connect a video cable between the VIDEO
OUT jack on the VCR and the VIDEO jack on
the TV.
If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-Video
connections and remove the video cable.
Do not connect the video cable and the SVideo cable to video 1 simultaneously.
Follow the instructions in “Viewing a VCR
or Camcorder Tape” to view your VCR tape.
Note: This figure shows the Standard Connector-jack panel. The actual configuration on your TV may
be different, depending on the model.
CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION 2.6
INSTALLATION
Connecting a Camcorder
The side panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a camcorder to your TV. They allow
you to view the camcorder tapes without using a VCR.
1
Locate the A/V output jacks on the
camcorder. They are usually found on
the side or rear of the camcorder.
2
Connect an audio cable between the
AUDIO OUTPUT jack on the camcorder
and the AUDIO terminals on the side of
the TV.
If you have mono camcorder, connect
L(mono) to camcorder audio out using
only one audio cable.
3
Connect a video cable between the
VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the camcorder
and the VIDEO terminal on the sidet of
the TV.
The audio-video cables shown here are
usually included with a Camcorder. (If
not, check your local electronics store.)
If your camcorder is stereo, you need to
connect a set of two cables.
Connecting a Second VCR to Record from the TV
Your TV can send out signals of its picture and sound to be recorded by a second VCR. To do
this, connect your second VCR as follows:
1
Connect a set of audio cables between
the AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV and the
AUDIO IN jacks on the VCR.
(The VCR input jacks might be either
on the front or rear of the VCR.)
2
Connect a video cable between the
VIDEO OUT jack on the TV and the
VIDEO IN jack on the VCR.
Refer to your VCR’s instructions for
more information about how to record
using this kind of connection.
Note: This figure shows the Standard Connector-jack panel. The actual configuration on your TV may
be different, depending on the model.
