Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.

- Do not display a still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention.

This image retention is also known as "screen burn".

To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

SAMSUNG LN-S1952W - Precautions When Displaying a Still Image - 1

Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen.

Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen.

Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

- Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.

To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.

UHF VHF

  1. Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

UHF VHF ANT IN

  1. Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Cable without a Cable Box

ANT IN

How to Set up Restrictions Using the ‘TV guidelines’:

First, set up a personal identification number (PIN), and enable the V-Chip. (See previous section.) Parental restrictions can be set up using either of two methods: The TV guidelines or the MPAA rating.

  1. Press the MENU button to display the menu. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select "Setup", then press the ENTER Ⓗ button.
  2. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select "V-Chip", then press the ENTER ↩ button.
  3. The "Enter PIN" screen will appear. Enter your 4-digit PIN.
  4. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select "TV Parental Guidelines", then press the ENTER ↩ button.
  5. The "TV Parental Guidelines" screen will appear. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select one of the six age-based categories:
• TV-Y: Young children• TV-Y7: Children 7 and over• TV-G: General audience• TV-PG: Parental guidance• TV-14: Viewers 14 and over• TV-MA: Mature audience
  1. At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected. Press the ENTER button: Depending on your existing setup, the color of the letter "U" or "B" will be highlighted. (U= Unblocked, B= Blocked) When the color of the "U" or "B" is highlighted, press the ENTER button to block or unblock the category. A TV-Rating will be highlighted. To exit this screen, press the MENU button again. To select a different TV-Rating, press the ▲ or ▼ button and then repeat the process.

The TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA have additional options. See the next step to change any of the following sub-ratings: FV: Fantasy Violence / D: Sexual suggestive Dialog L: Adult Language / S: Sexual situation / V: Violence
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.

  1. How to set the FV, D, L, S, and V sub-ratings.

First, highlight one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA

(See Step 4, on previous page). Next, while the TV-Rating is selected, repeatedly

press the ENTER button. This will cycle through the available sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D, or V).

A highlighted letter ("U" or "B") will be displayed for each sub-rating.

While the "U" or "B" is highlighted, press the ENTER button to change the sub-rating.

Press the MENU button once to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected, and no letters "U" or "B" will be changed to yellow. To exit this screen, press the MENU button again.

To select a different TV-Rating, press the ▲ or ▼ button and then repeat the process.

The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are "More restrictive".

For example, if you block the “L” sub-rating in TV-PG, then the “L” sub-ratings in TV-14 and TV-MA will automatically be blocked.

  1. Press the EXIT button to clear all the screens.

(Or proceed to the next section, and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).

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

The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and its main application is for movies. When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any programs that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).

  1. Press the MENU button to display the menu.

Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select "Setup", then press the ENTER ↩ button.

• PG: Parental guidance suggested.

• PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned.

• R: Restricted. Children under 17 should be accompanied by an adult.

• NC-17: No children under age 17.

• X: Adults only.

- NR: Not rated.

  1. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select a category.

Press the ENTER ↩ button to select "U" or "B".

Press the EXIT button to save the settings and to clear all screens.

The V-Chip will automatically block any category that is “more restrictive”. For example, if you block the “PG-13” category, then “R”, “NC-17”, and “X” will automatically be blocked also.

How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip Blocks a Channel ('Emergency Escape')

If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go blank and the following message will appear: "Excessive rating". To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons. Under certain conditions (depending on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might lock out all the channels. In this case, use the Menu button for an "emergency escape": Select the V-Chip on the Menu. Enter your PIN number, and press the ENTER button to temporarily disable the V-Chip Lock.

Viewing Closed Captions

Setup Plug & Play Language : English Time V-Chip Caption Blue Screen : Off PC Move Enter Return

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: cc.
