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

❑ Precautions When Displaying a Still Image
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen
● Do not display a still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image
retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the
screen when displaying a still image.
●
Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left,
right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen.
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
● Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.

2. Install two AAA size batteries.
N Make sure to match the ‘+’ and ‘–’ ends of the batteries with the diagram inside the
compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
N Remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place if you won’t be using the
remote control for a long time. (Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries should last for about one year.)
N If the remote control doesn’t work, check the following:
● Is the TV power on?
● Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?
● Are the batteries drained?
● Is there a power outage or is the power cord unplugged?
● Is there a special fluorescent light or neon sign nearby?

Connections
¦ Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that look like the diagram to the right, see ‘Antennas with 300
Ω Flat Twin Leads’ below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like the diagram to the right, see ‘Antennas with 75 Ω
Round Leads’.
If you have two antennas, see ‘Separate 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 300Ω 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.
ANT IN
2. Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads
Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
ANT IN
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.

Cable without a Cable Box
Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
N 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 ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.
N This terminal might be labeled ‘ANT OUT’, ‘VHF OUT’ or simply, ‘OUT’.
2. Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

1. Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box.
N This terminal might be labeled ‘ANT IN’, ‘VHF IN’ or simply, ‘IN’.
2. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3. Connect an RF cable between the OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4. Connect an RF cable between the ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
5. Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6. Connect the last RF cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT IN terminal on the rear of the TV.
After you have 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.)

N What is HDMI?
● HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals
using a single cable.
● The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital
Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
N Each DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration.
N The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box /
Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI
cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack and the audio cables to the DVI AUDIO
IN [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-ray player /
Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
N HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.

digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) and is connected to the
TV via HDMI, only 2 channel sound will be heard from the Home Theater receiver. If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio,
connect the digital audio out jack on DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) directly to an
Amplifier or Home Theater, not the TV.
