Memorizing the Channels
Your PDP can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna)
and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH
buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering
the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast
source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).

Setting up Your PDP (Plug and Play)
Our adoption of the new VESAPlug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time consuming
setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system, without the usual
setup hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure itself for use with your
display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended Display Identification data (EDID)
using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols.

How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)
The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. However, the actual screens
on your PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your
particular video card. But even if your actual screens look different, the same, basic set-up information
will apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)
On the windows screen, select in the following
sequence : Start Settings Control Panel.
When the control panel screen appears, click on
“Display” and a display dialog-box will appear.
Select the “Settings” tab in the display dialog-
box.
The two key variables that apply to the PDP-PC
interface are “resolution” and “colors”.
The correct settings for these two variables are:
Size (sometimes called “resolution”)
:640 x 480 pixels.
• Color: “24-bit” color (might also be expre-
ssed as “16 million colors”)Shown at left is
a typical screen for “Display” dialog box.
If a vertical-frequency option exists on your
display settings dialog box, the correct value is
“60” or “60 Hz.” Otherwise, just click “OK”
and exit the dialog box.
Continued...
Notes:
Both screen position and size will vary, depending on the type of PC monitor and its resolution.
The table below shows all of the display modes that are supported:
The interlace mode is not supported.
The PDP operates abnormally if a non-standard video format is selected.
Notes:
When this PDP is used as a PC display, 32-bit color is supported.
Depending on the manufacturer, your PC display screen might appear different.
(and depending on your particular version of Windows).
Check your PC instruction book for information about connecting your PC to a PDP.
If a vertical and horizontal frequency-select mode exists, select 60Hz (vertical) and 31.5kHZ
(horizontal).
In some cases, abnormal signals (such as stripes) might appear on the screen when the PC power
is turned off (or if the PC is disconnected). If so, press the Source button to enter the VIDEO mode.
Also, make sure that the PC is connected.
Connect only a PC monitor to the monitor output port while viewing the PC screen. (Otherwise,
random signals might appear).

Viewing Closed Captions
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: .
Note: The Caption feature does not work with DVD or DTV signals.

6At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.
Press the RIGHT button : Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will start
blinking.
(U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)
While the “U” or ”B” is blinking, press the UP or DOWN button to block or unblock the
category.
Press the RIGHT button to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected,
and no letters will blink.
To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP or DOWN button and then repeat the process.
Note 1: 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: Sexually Sugessive Dialog
L: Adult Language
S: Sexual situation
V: Violence
Note 2: 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.)
7How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
First, select 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 RIGHT button.
This will cycle through the available sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).
A blinking letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is
blinking, press the UP or DOWN button to change the sub-rating.
Press the RIGHT button to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected and no
letters will select. To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP or DOWN button and then
repeat the process.
Note: The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are “More restrictive”.
For example, if you block “L” sub-rating in TV-PG, then the “L” sub-ratings in TV-14 and
TV-MA will automatically be blocked.
8Press the MENU button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, and set up
additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).
Note
Note: 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 TV-Y and TV-Y7 categories
are colored blue.
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. (See next step.)
