Important Warranty Information Regarding
Television Format Viewing
Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are
primarily designed to view standard format full-motion video. The images displayed on them
should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving. Displaying
stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars
(wide screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing
per week.
Wide screen format televisions (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 constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and
images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-expanded standard format television video
and programming, should be limited to no more than 15% 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 any stationary images that exceed the above
guidelines can cause uneven aging of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle, but permanent
burned-in ghost images in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and
images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark
bars. On television models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view the
different formats as a full screen picture.
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT
aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered
by your Samsung limited warranty.

OPERATION
Memorizing the Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and

to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the
channel digits.
Selecting the Video Signal Source
Before your TV can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of
signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or a cable system).

SPECIAL FEATURES
Auto Volume
Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, and it is inconvenient to adjust the
volume every time the channel is changed. “Auto Volume” automatically adjusts the volume of
the desired channel by lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or by
raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Viewing Closed Caption Information
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions information that is broadcast along with
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
CC
the closed caption symbol (
) on the tape’s package or your TV program-schedule.

page for your brand of VCR (Cable box or DVD player).
œ If your VCR (Cable box or

but try one of the other codes
listed for the brand of your
particular VCR (Cable box or
DVD player).
5

The visual qualities of digital channels may vary
depending on the original production method (analog
or digital).
➜ Classification by the information displayed when
switching channels.
➜ If the original production method is digital: High
visual quality program.
➜ If the original production method is analog: The
digital program displayed on the screen is originally
an analog program which has been converted. The
visual quality is of an SD grade visual quality.
Although the TV caption
shows HD,the visual quality is
not satisfactory.
The HD caption that appears when switching channels
or when pressing the Information button on the remote
control means the selected channel is simply a digital
channel. If the broadcasting station converts an analog
signal into digital and transmits the signal, the visual
quality may not be perfect. (Applied to Set Top Box
built-in model only.)
