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 no expanded 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.

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI (DVI) IN jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray player, HD cable box, or HD STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. The DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio. x 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 If such a problem occurs, ask the manufacturer of the external device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade. x Be sure to purchase a certified HDMI cable.

When the receiver (amplifier or DVD 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 amplifier or DVD

home theater. 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

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 included Safety Flyer 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.

TV-Holder (BN96-15753A) Screw (M6xL16)

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 on 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

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.
