Introduction

Thank You for Choosing Samsung

• 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.

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

• 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 from 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.

Always be careful when using your TV. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and maintaining your unit.

• 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 and in the operating instructions.

• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

• 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.

• 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 where contact with water is possible, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.

• 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 when:

- The power-supply cord or plug is damaged

- Liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit

- The TV has been exposed to rain or water

- The TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions

- The TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged

- The TV exhibits a distinct degradation in performance

- When the LAMP(BULB ONLY) replacement is needed

• 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 more likely to overturn.

• 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.

• The TV 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 put the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not put the TV near a radiator or heat register. If you do put the TV on a rack or bookcase, make sure that there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.

• Operate your TV 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 an electrician to replace your outlet.

• 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.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.

This television receiver provides display of television closed captioning in accordance with §15.119 of the FCC rules.

Changing Channels

You can change channels on your TV by using the CH and CH buttons, or by direct selection using the number buttons. You can use the number buttons to tune to any channel (even one that has been erased or has not been memorized).

Using the Channel Buttons

Press the CH or CH buttons to change channels.

The TV changes each channel in order, up or down, depending on which button you press. You will see all the channels that the TV has memorized. (The TV must have memorized at least three channels.) You will not see channels that were not memorized or have been erased.

Using the Number Buttons

To change to single-digit channels (0–9) faster, press

“0” before the single digit.

Example: For channel 4, press “0,” then “4.”

To select a channel over 100, press the +100 button first.

Example: For channel 122, press “+100,” then “2,” then “2.”

Using the Previous Channel

Press the Pre-ch button on the remote control. The TV changes to the last channel you were watching.

Scanning channels

You can automatically scan all of the channels in memory at the touch of just one button. Press the Scan button on the remote control. The TV will change the channels automatically, one by one. To stop channel scan, press the Scan button again.

Note: When the ANT B mode is selected, the chan-nels scan function doesn’t work.

Selecting Your Favorite Channels

You can store up to ten of your favorite channels for each available input source (such as TV and

CATV). Then, when you press the Fav.CH button on the remote control, the TV displays only the favorite channels you previously stored, allowing you to quickly and easily find frequently watched channels.
