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.

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 “ANT  
1 IN” terminal on the rear  
panel.

Plug the antenna lead into the  
“ANT 1 IN” terminal on the  
rear 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  
“ANT 1 IN” terminal on the

INSTALLATION  
Connecting to DVI (Digital Visual Interface)  
By inputting a high-bandwidth digital content protection high-definition picture source to the  
DIGITAL INPUT jack on the TV, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in  
their digital forms. (This DIGITAL INPUT jack is for use in the future when high-bandwidth  
digital content protection DTV decoders, DVD players and D-VHS are put on the market.)  
1

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 tapes package or your TV program-schedule.

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

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

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

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  
• Never open the cabinet or touch the parts inside.  
• Wipe your TV with a clean, dry cloth. Never use water, cleaning fluids, wax, or chemicals.  
• Do not put heavy objects on top of the cabinet.  
Temperature  
• If your TV is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm place, unplug the power cord, 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.
