A detailed User’s Manual is built into your TV. For more information about how to view this e-Manual, see page 11.

Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference only and may differ from actual product
appearances. Product design and specifications may be changed without notice.

Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, the panorama
or 4:3 image format, stock or news bars at the screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Displaying still images for long
periods of time can cause image burn-in, which will affect image quality. To reduce risk of this effect, follow the
recommendations below:

• Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

• Try to display images in full screen mode. Use the TV's picture format menu or the remote's P.Size button to adjust
the size of the picture so that images fill the screen.

• Reduce brightness and contrast values to the minimum required to achieve desired picture quality. Exceeding these
values may speed up the burn-in process.

• Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn-in. Refer to the proper section of
the e-manual for details.

Providing Proper Ventilation for Your TV

When you install your TV, maintain a distance of at least 4 inches between the TV and other objects (walls, cabinet sides,
etc.) to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to maintain proper ventilation may result in a fire or a problem with the product
caused by an increase in its internal temperature.

✎

Whether you install your TV using a stand or a wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

• If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may cause difficulties with the product or result in injury
caused by the product falling.

Making Connections

Connect your TV to an antenna or cable connection, and then connect your peripherals. When done, connect the
power cord to the TV, and then connect the power cord to an AC wall outlet. If you are connecting your TV to a cable
or satellite box using HDMI, Component, or Composite connections, you do not need to connect the ANT IN jack to an
antenna or a cable connection.

• For the best picture and audio quality, connect digital devices using an HDMI cable.

• If you connect an external device to the TV that uses an older version of HDMI, the video and audio may not work. If this occurs,
ask the manufacturer of the device about the HDMI version and, if it is out of date, request an upgrade.

• Be sure to purchase a certified HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may occur.

• PC/DVI AUDIO IN input is not supported.

• For a set-top box connection using an HDMI cable, we highly recommend you connect the cable to the HDMI IN 1(STB) port.

• For an HDMI to DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 2(DVI) jack.

• If you connect a device to the HDMI IN 2(DVI) port using an HDMI to DVI cable, the audio will not work. DVI does not transmit
audio. You must add a separate audio connection.

• For PCs with DVI video out jacks, use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect the DVI out on the PC to the HDMI IN 2(DVI) jack on the
TV. Use the PC's speakers for audio.
