INSTALLATION
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 next page.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas” on next page.
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
“VHF/UHF” terminal on
the bottom of the back
panel.

INSTALLATION
Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
1
Plug the antenna lead into
the “VHF/UHF”
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
“VHF/UHF” terminal on
the bottom of the rear
panel.
Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

1
you do not need a cable box to
view unscrambled cable channels.
Plug the incoming cable
into the “VHF/UHF”
antenna terminal on back
of the TV.

coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
This terminal might be labeled

OPERATION
Memorizing the Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “air” (antenna)
and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH
and
CH
buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change
channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels:
selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and delet-
ing channels (manual).
Selecting the Video Signal Source
Before your television 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
Extra Sound Settings
• Auto Volume
Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, and so it is not easy for you to
adjust the volume every time the channel is changed. “Auto Volume” lets you
automatically adjust 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.
• Melody
You can set a melody to sound when the TV is powered On or Off.
• Surround
“Surround” converts a mono or stereo signal into simulated surround sound.
Once the “Surround” is set to “On”, the setting applies to sound effects such as
Standard, Music, Movie and Speech.
• Turbo Sound
Turbo sound suitably emphasizes both higher and lower bands of sound (and includes
other effects).

SPECIAL FEATURES
Viewing Closed Captions
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows.
These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign-language translations.
All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-recorded video
tapes also provide closed captions. Most pre-recorded commercial video tapes provide closed
captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television schedule and on the
tape’s packaging:

Appendix
Cleaning and Maintaining Your TV
With proper care, your TV unit will give you many years of service. Please follow these
guidelines to get the maximum performance from your TV.
Placement
•
•
Do not place the TV near extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places.
Do not place the TV near appliances with electric motors that create magnetic fields,
such as vacuum cleaners.
•
Keep the ventilation openings clear; do not place the TV on a soft surface, such as
cloth or paper.
•
Place the TV in a vertical position only.
Liquids
•
Do not handle liquids near or on the TV. Liquids that spill into it can cause serious
damage.
Cabinet

and allow at least two hours for moisture that may have formed inside the unit to dry
completely.
Using Your TV in Another Country
If you plan to take your TV with you to a foreign country, please be aware of the different
television systems that are in use around the world. A TV designed for one system may
not work properly with another system due to differences in the TV channel frequencies.

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.
