Frequently Asked Questions - LN40B540 SAMSUNG

How to connect an antenna or cable?
Connect the antenna cable (75 Ω) or the cable TV cable directly to the ANT IN jack on the back of the TV. For a two-wire cable (300 Ω), use a 300-75 Ω adapter (not supplied). You can also use a cable selector with connection to the ANT IN jack.
How to connect a DVD player or set-top box via HDMI?
Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI output of your device to one of the HDMI IN 1 to 4 jacks on the TV. Audio connection is integrated. For DVI devices, use the HDMI IN 1 (DVI) jack and connect audio cables to DVI AUDIO IN.
How to connect my computer to the TV?
You can use a D-Sub (VGA) cable by connecting the PC output to the PC IN jack and audio to PC AUDIO IN. Or use an HDMI/DVI cable: connect it to HDMI IN 1 (DVI) and audio to DVI AUDIO IN. Set your PC resolution to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz for optimal quality.
How to use the Media Play (USB) function?
Insert a USB drive containing JPEG or MP3 files into the side USB port. Press the MEDIA.P button on the remote to access the Media Play menu. Select the file type (Photo or Music) and navigate through folders. DRM files are not played.
How to adjust picture settings for better quality?
Press MENU, select Picture. You can choose a preset mode (Dynamic, Standard, Movie) or manually adjust contrast, brightness, sharpness, color, and tint. Use Advanced Settings for gamma, white balance, etc. For a PC, only contrast and brightness are adjustable.
How to activate parental control (V-Chip)?
Go to Setup > V-Chip. Enter your PIN code (default 0000). Enable blocking and select the classifications to block (TV Parental Guide or MPAA Rating). Blocked programs will be invisible without the code. To reset the code, follow the procedure described in the manual (power off then key sequence).
How to connect an external audio system?
Use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) output for a digital audio receiver with optical cable. Or use the AUDIO OUT (RCA) jacks for an amplifier. In the Sound menu, set Select Speaker to External Speaker to mute the TV speakers. Volume is then adjusted on the external device.
What to do if the picture is poor or missing?
First check antenna or cable connections. Try another channel. Use the Picture Test in the Support menu (Self Diagnostic). If the test pattern displays correctly, the problem is from the source device. Otherwise, contact Samsung service. Make sure the input source is correct via the SOURCE button.
How to use the Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) function?
Connect an Anynet+ compatible device (e.g., Samsung Blu-ray player) via HDMI. Enable Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) in the Setup menu. Use the TOOLS button on the remote to access the connected device's commands (play, stop, etc.). You can also switch between devices.
How to clean the TV screen?
Turn off and unplug the TV. Use a soft dry cloth (the supplied cloth is ideal). For stubborn stains, slightly dampen the cloth with distilled water. Never use products containing alcohol, ammonia, or solvents. Wipe gently without pressing.

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.

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.

  • 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.

  1. Connect an HDMI Cable between the HDMI IN 1 (DVI), 2, 3 or 4 jack on the TV and the HDMI jack on the DVD / Blu-ray Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box).

What is HDMI?
- HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.
- The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.

Each DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 1 (DVI) jack and the audio cables to the DVI AUDIO IN [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.

This connection can only be made if there is a DVI Output connector on the external device.

SAMSUNG LN40B540 - Connecting a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) via HDMI - 2

When the Home Theater receiver is set to On, you can hear sound output from the TV's Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a DTV(air) signal, the TV will send out 5.1 channel sound to the Home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 channel sound will be heard from the Home Theater receiver.

Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from 'snowy' to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.

If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength. Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the strongest signal.
