Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

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.

Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture ﬁles) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock

or news bars at screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of still pictures can cause ghosting of LCD screen, which will affect image

quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow below recommendations:

•

Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.

Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout

process.

•

Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.

hDMI In 1(DVI), 2, 3, 4 / PC/DVI AUDIO In

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the hDMI In 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray

player, HD cable box, HD STB satellite receiver, cable box, or STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI

to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO In jack is required for audio.

The picture may not display normally (if at all) or the audio may not work if an external device that uses an older

version of HDMI mode is connected to the TV. If such a problem occurs, ask the manufacturer of the external

device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade.

Be sure to purchase a certiﬁed HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may

occur.

DIgITAl AUDIO OUT (OPTICAl)

When a Digital Audio System is connected to the DIgITAl AUDIO OUT (OPTICAl) jack, decrease the volume

of both the TV and the system.

5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

When the receiver (home theater) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s optical jack. When the

TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theater receiver. When the source is

a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is

connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the home theater receiver. If you want to

hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite

receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.

✎

AUDIO OUT: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier/home theater.

When connecting, use the appropriate connector (sold separately).

When an audio amplifier is connected to the AUDIO OUT jacks: Decrease the volume of the TV and adjust the

volume level with the amplifier’s volume control.

Securing the TV to the Wall

Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure your children do

not hang over or destabilize the TV. Doing so may cause the TV to tip over, causing serious injuries or death.

Follow all safety precautions provided in the Safety Flyer included with your TV. For added stability and safety,

you can purchase and install the anti-fall device as described below.

The TV-holder Kit (sold separately)

The parts below are included in the TV Holder kit. In addition, you need to provide a wood screw, screw and molly, or other screw

appropriate for the wall or cabinet you intend to secure the TV-Holder string to. We recommend a size M4xL20 wood screw.

Screw 1

Screw 2

Installing the TV-holder

1. Remove the screw attached to the back of your TV, and then connect the TV-Holder to the TV with the screw included in

the TV Holder Kit that is designated for your TV.

✎

Make sure to use only the appropriate supplied screw. If you use a different screw, you can damage your TV.

2. Firmly fasten the screw you provided (size M4xL20 or similar) to the wall or cabinet where the TV is to be installed.

✎

If you fasten the screw to the wall, we recommend you drive the screw into a stud. If that is not possible, use a

molly to anchor the screw.

3. Tie the TV-Holder cord to the screw fastened to the wall or cabinet so that the TV is ﬁxed. See the illustrations below.

✎

Install the TV close to the wall so that it does not fall.

When attaching the TV Holder cord to the wall, tie the cord level with the ground or slanted downwards for safety purposes.

Check the cord occasionally to make sure it is secure.

Before moving the TV, separate the connected cord first.

4. Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check the connections for any sign of fatigue or failure. If you have

any doubt about the security of your connections, contact a professional installer.
