INSTALLATION
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
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 the
300-75 ohm adaptor (not
supplied). Use a screwdriver
to tighten the screws.
2
Plug the adaptor into the “ANT
1 IN” terminal on the rear
panel.
Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
Plug the antenna lead into the
“ANT 1 IN” terminal on the

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 “ANT 1 IN” terminal on the rear
panel.

INSTALLATION
Connecting a Camcorder
The side panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a camcorder to your TV. They allow
you to view the camcorder tapes without using a VCR.
1
Locate the A/V output jacks on the camcorder. They are
usually found on the side or rear of the camcorder.
2
Connect a set of audio cables between the “AV 3 (L, R)”
jacks on the TV and the AUDIO OUT jacks on the camcorder.
If you have mono camcorder, connect L(mono) to
camcorder audio out using only one audio cable.
3
Connect a video cable between the “AV 3 (VIDEO)”
(or “S-VIDEO2 INPUT”) jack on the TV and the VIDEO OUT
jacks on the camcorder.
The audio-video cables shown here are usually included
with a Camcorder. (If not, check your local electronics
store.) If your camcorder is stereo, you need to connect a
set of two cables.
Connecting to the Digital Audio Input
The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a device with digital audio output.
After making a connection, set the audio input by reference to page 51.
Connect a audio (or optical) cable between the
“COAXIAL IN” (or “OPTICAL IN”) jack on the TV
and the AUDIO OUT jack on a device with digital
audio output.

INSTALLATION
Connecting Additional Speakers
The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to take advantage of the surround sound system.
1
Connect speaker audio cables to “SURROUND
SPEAKER OUT” terminals on the TV.
To improve the sound quality, connect the Red wire to
the Red terminal and Black wire to the Black terminal.
2
The factory default of “SURROUND SPEAKER OUT
SELECTION” is set to “INT” (Internal). For sound
output to external speakers, set to “EXT” (External),
then sound to the internal speaker is off.
• The speakers MUST have to a power handling capability of 10 watts minimum (impedance 8 Ω).
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Slide the back cover all the
way out to open the battery
compartment of the remote
control.
œ Make sure to match the “+”

the diagram inside the
compartment.
2
Install two AAA size batteries.
œ 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 last for
about one year.)
3
Replace the cover.
• The remote control can be used up to about 23 feet from the TV.

some television shows. These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or
translations into other languages. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television
programs, so pre-recorded video tapes can also deliver closed-caption information. Check for

the closed caption symbol (

TV OPERATION
Customizing Your Remote Control
Your TV comes equipped with a universal remote control. In addition to controlling the TV, the
universal remote control can also operate a VCR, Cable box, DVD and Set-Top Box made by
Samsung (even if your VCR, Cable box and DVD are made by manufacturers other than Samsung).
• The remote control might not be compatible with all VCRs, DVD players and Cable boxes.
Setting Up Your Remote Control to Operate Your VCR (Cable box or
DVD player)
1
Turn off your VCR (Cable box or DVD player).
œ The remote control has five
modes: TV, STB, VCR, CABLE
and DVD.
2
Press the MODE button to switch the remote control to the VCR (CABLE or
DVD) mode.
3
On your Samsung remote control, press the SET button.
œ Make sure you enter 3 digits of

4
Enter 3 digits of the VCR (Cable box or DVD player) code listed on next
page for your brand of VCR (Cable box or DVD player).
œ If your VCR (Cable box or
DVD player) does not turn on,
repeat steps 2, 3, and 4, but try
one of the other codes listed for
the brand of your particular VCR
(Cable box or DVD player).
5
Press the POWER button on the remote control. Your VCR (Cable box or
DVD player) should turn on. If your VCR (Cable box or DVD player) turns

DVD OPERATION
When playing CD-R/MP3 discs, please follow the recommendations
below:
• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and
with Apple's Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.
• When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place “.mp3” as the file
extension.
General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title, make sure that you use 8
characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including:
(.,/,\,=,+).
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you
choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate (conversion to
MP3 format) of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192
Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below
128 Kbps will not be played properly.
• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.
Certain “securized” files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files
TM
are of the following types: Windows Media (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and
SDMITM (registered trademark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
• Your DVD player only accepts one level of file directory.
Consequently you must choose:
- either to save all your MP3 recording files at the root of the disc;
- and/or create folders in the directory for each artist or music type (e.g.classical, rock, jazz, etc)
• Important
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and
methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD
player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).
• This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 300 folders per disc.
