Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing
See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.
Wide screen format LED 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 fill 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 LED Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LED 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 you use for viewing. Uneven LED aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, TV shows or movies in panorama or 4:3 format, stock or news scroll bars, etc.) on the screen. The constant display of still pictures can cause ghosting or
image burn-in (image retention) on the LED screen, which will affect image quality. To reduce the risk of this effect, please follow the recommendations below:
•Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.
•Always try to display any image in full screen mode. Use the TV's Picture Options menu to select the optimal screen size.
•Reduce brightness and contrast values to the minimum required to achieve the desired picture quality. Values that exceed the minimum may speed up the burn-in process.
•Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn-in. Refer to proper user manual section for details.

The Main menu has seven primary categories:

The SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital InterFace) outputs an uncompressed digital audio signal when you connect the digital audio jack on the back of the TV to a digital audio in jack on a receiver or home theater.

Speaker Settings
■■Speaker Select (External Speaker / TV Speaker)
If you are listening to the sound track of a broadcast or movie through an external receiver, you may hear a sound echo caused by the difference in decoding speed between the TV’s speakers and the speakers attached to your audio receiver. If this occurs, set the TV to External Speaker.
When you set Speaker Select to External Speaker, the TV’s speakers are turned off. You will hear sound through the external speakers only. When you set Speaker Select to TV Speaker both the TV’s speakers and the external speakers are on. You will hear sound through both.
When Speaker Select is set to External Speaker, the
VOLUME and MUTE buttons will not operate and the sound settings will be limited.
If there is no video signal, both the TV’s speakers and the external speakers will be mute.
Sound Reset
■■Reset All: Resets all sound settings to the factory defaults.

Memorizing Channels
When you first set up your TV using Plug & Play, the TV memorized the channels that were available over the air or through your cable system and added them to the Channel List. The Antenna and Auto program functions described below let you re-run the channel memorization function without having to re-run the Plug & Play procedure.

Selecting the signal source using the Antenna function also determines the signal source the TV is tuned to. For example, if you receive your TV signal over the air, and you select Cable, you will see only snow. You must select Air to see a picture.
