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 sidebars 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.

Connecting 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 IN (AIR/CABLE) 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).
1 Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
2 Plug the combiner into the ANT IN (AIR/CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.
