Precautions When Displaying a Still Image
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.
• Digital Ready TV: When you select the regular screen (4:3) mode to watch an SD-grade digital broadcast (and the set-top box output is 480p).
• Digital Ready TV: When you select the wide screen (16:9) mode to watch an SD-grade digital broadcast (and the set-top box output is 1080i).
Although digital broadcasting must be in the wide screen (16:9) HD format, broadcasters sometimes show programs made originally in the regular screen format (4:3) by converting the signals into digital form, in which case the left and right side edges of the screen are cropped.
Note : If the borders at the left, right and the center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.
Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.
• Digital Ready TV: When the
TV receives HD-grade signals
(and the set-top box output is 1080i).
When you watch a digital HD-grade broadcast on a regular (4:3) TV with the screen size
"16:9" or "Panorama" selected, you will be able to watch the program but the top and bottom edges of the screen will be cropped.
Note : If the borders at the top, bottom and the center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.
Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

• Integrated Digital TV
(Wide-screen): When the TV receives SD-grade (regular) broadcasting signals (receives
480p regular signals).
• Digital Ready TV (wide-screen): digital TV: When the TV receives
SD-grade (regular) broadcasting signals (with a set-top box).
• When you watch an analog
(regular) broadcast on a wide-screen TV (with the 4:3 screen mode selected).
• When you watch a DVD, CD or a video in wide screen (21:9) format on a wide-screen (16:9) TV.
• When you connect a computer or a game console to the TV and select the 4:3 screen mode.
Although digital broadcasting must be in the wide screen (16:9) HD format, broadcasters sometimes show programs made originally in the regular screen format (4:3) by converting the signals into digital form, in which case the left and right side edges of the screen are cropped.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.
If you connect a DVD player, computer or a game console to the wide-screen TV and watch a movie or play a game in regular
(4:3) or wide (21:9) screen mode, the left and right side edges, or the top and bottom edges of the screen will be cropped.
Note : If the borders at the left, right and the center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.
Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see “Antennas with
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads” below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm
Round Leads” on page 7.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas” on page 7.
Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has
300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
1
Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-
75 ohm adaptor (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2
Plug the adaptor into the TV ANTENNA terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
1
Plug the antenna lead into the TV
ANTENNA terminal on the bottom of the back panel.
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 TV
ANTENNA terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.
Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cable without a Cable Box
1
Plug the incoming cable into the TV
ANTENNA terminal on the back of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable channels.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
1
Find the cable that is connected to the
ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled
“ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT”, or simply, “OUT”.
2
Connect the other end of this cable to the TV
ANTENNA terminal on the back of the TV.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1
Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the
ANTENNA IN terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled
“ANT IN”, “VHF IN”, or simply,
“IN”.
2
Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3
Connect a coaxial cable between an
OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.

TV.
After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels.
(When you set the A/B switch to “B,” you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

Using Your TV as a Computer (PC) Display
How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)
The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below.
However, the actual screens on your PC will probably look different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular video card. Even if your actual screens look different, the same, basic set-up information will apply in most cases.
(If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)
First, click on “Settings” on the
Windows start menu.
While “Settings” is highlighted, move the cursor so that “Control
Panel” is highlighted.
When the control panel screen appears, click on “Display” and a display dialog-box will appear.
Navigate to the “settings” tab on the display dialog-box.
English44
The two key variables that apply to the TV-PC interface are “resolution” and “colors.” The correct settings for these two variables are:
* Size (sometimes called “resolution”)
- See page 54, 62
If a vertical-frequency option exists on your display settings dialog box, the correct value is “60” or “60 Hz”.
Otherwise, just click “OK” and exit the dialog box.
