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. W atching 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. 2009 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

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

ANT IN

Antennas with 75 Round Leads
Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

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 ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

UHF VHF

Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cable without a Cable Box

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.

So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels. N If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength. Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the strongest signal.
