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 sidebars 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.

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads

If you are using an off-air antenna(such as a roof antenna or "rabbit ears") that has 300 Ω twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

1 Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 Ω adapter(not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2 Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN (AIR/CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.

Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads

1 Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN (AIR/CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.

1 ANT IN (AIR/CABLE) 2 75 Ω

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 IN (AIR/CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.

1 2 ANT IN (AIR/CABLE) 75Ω

Connecting Cable TV

Cable without a Cable Box

1 Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN (AIR/CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV. ➢ Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable channels.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

1 Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box. ➢ This terminal might be labeled "ANT OUT", "VHF OUT" or simply, "OUT".
2 Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN (AIR/CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels(such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of Antenna cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

The V-Chip will automatically block certain categories that are "more restrictive". For example, if you block TV-Y category, then TV-Y7 will automatically be blocked. Similarly, if you block the TV-G category, then all the categories in the "young adult" group will be blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V) work together similarly. (See next section.)

9 How to set the FV, V, S, L, and D sub-ratings. First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA (See Step 7), and press the ▶ button.

These categories consist of two separate groups: TV-Y and TV-Y7 (young children through age 7), and TV-G through TV-MA (everybody else). The restrictions for these two groups work independently: If a household includes very young children as well as young adults, the TV guidelines must be set up separately for each age group.

How to Set up Restrictions Using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, X, NR
