6766How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. However, the actual screenson your PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and yourparticular video card. But even if your actual screens look different, the same, basic set-up informationwill apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)On the windows screen, select in the followingsequence : 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 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.

9190How 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. Move the joystick up ordown to select “Function”, then press the joystick to enter. 2Move the joystick up or down to select “V-Chip”,then press the joystick to enter. 3 The message "Enter Pin" will appear.

Move thejoystick up or down to select one of the six age-based categories:TV-Y Young childrenTV-Y7 Children 7 and overTV-G General audienceTV-PG Parental guidanceTV-14 Viewers 14 and overTV-MA Mature audienceFunctionLanguageTimeCaptionNRAuto Power OffV-ChipMove Select ExitEnglishOffOffFunctionLanguageTimeCaptionNRAuto Power OffV-ChipMove Enter ExitEnglishOffOnV-ChipEnter PinEnter Pin : ----V-ChipV-Chip LockTV GuideLinesMPAA Rating Change PinNoMove Enter Exit6At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected. Move the joystick to the right: Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will startblinking.(U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)While the “U” or ”B” is blinking, move the joystick up or down to block or unblock the category.Move the joystick to the right to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected, and no letters will blink. To select a different TV-Rating, move the joystick up or down 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 violenceD: DialogL: LS: Sexual situationV: ViolenceNote 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 move the joystick to the right. 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, move the joystick up or down to change the sub-rating.Move the joystick to the right to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected and no letters will select. To select a different TV-Rating, move the joystick up or down 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 upadditional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).Note• Note: These categories consist of two separate groups: TV-Y and TV-Y7 (young childrenthrough 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 youngchildren as well as young adults, the TV guidelines must be set up separately for each agegroup.
