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.

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.

Displaying any stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of

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.

Connections

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see “Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads”
below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, 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 300 Ω twin flat 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 1 IN (AIR) terminal on the back of the TV.

Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads

1.

Plug the antenna lead into the ANT 1 IN (AIR) terminal on the back of the TV.

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).

What is HDMI?

• HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables
the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable without
compression.

• “Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows
multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels).
The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has
the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and
supports multi-channel digital audio.

➢

Each external input source device has a different back panel configuration.

➢

When connecting an external device, match the color of the connection terminal to the cable.

➢

When connecting via HDMI, you do not need to connect Audio Cables. You only need to connect Audio
cables when connecting via HDMI/DVI.
