Important Warranty Information
Regarding Television Format
Viewing
Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are pri-
marily designed to view standard format full-motion video. The images displayed on them
should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving. Displaying station-
ary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars (wide
screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per
week.
Wide screen format televisions (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primar-
ily 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 constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on
screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-expanded standard format television video and pro-
gramming, should be limited to no more than 15% 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 any stationary images that exceed the above guide-
lines can cause uneven aging of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost
images in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily dis-
play full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On television models that offer
picture sizing features, use these controls to view the different formats as a full screen picture.
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT
aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered
by your Samsung limited warranty.

INSTALLATION
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that
look like this, see “Antennas with
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads” below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks
like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm
Round Leads” on next page.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas” on next page.
Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has
300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
1
Place the wires from the
twin leads under the
screws on the 300-75 ohm
adaptor (not supplied).
Use a screwdriver to
tighten the screws.
2
Plug the adaptor into the
VHF/UHF terminal on the
bottom of the back panel.
INSTALLATION
12
Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cable without a Cable Box
▼
1
Plug the incoming cable
into the VHF/UHF antenna
terminal on back of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready,
you do not need a cable box to view
unscrambled cable channels.
2
Plug the combiner into the
VHF/UHF terminal on the
bottom of the rear panel.
Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must
combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This
procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
1
Connect both antenna
leads to the combiner.
Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
1
Plug the antenna lead into
the VHF/UHF terminal on
the bottom of the back
panel.
INSTALLATION
13
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
▼
1
Find the cable that is con-
nected to the ANTENNA
OUT terminal on your
cable box.
This terminal might be labeled
“ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT” or simply,
“OUT”.
2
Connect the other end of
this cable to the VHF/UHF
antenna terminal on the
back of the TV.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the
instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of
coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
▼
1
Find and disconnect the
cable that is connected to
the ANTENNA IN
terminal on your cable
box.
This terminal might be labeled
“ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply,
“IN”.
2
Connect this cable to a
two-way splitter.

between an OUTPUT ter-
minal on the splitter and
the IN terminal on the
cable box.

Connect the last coaxial
cable between the OUT
terminal on the RF (A/B)
switch and the VHF/UHF
terminal on the rear of the
TV.
After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal view-
ing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the
A/B switch to “B”, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is
usually channel 3 or 4.)

Memorizing the Channels
Your TV 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 chan-
nels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels:
selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and delet-
ing channels (manual).
Selecting the Video Signal-source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the
type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or a cable system).
1
Press the MENU button to
display the menu.
Press the ▲ or ▼button to
select “Channel”, then press the
ENTER button
2
Press the ▲ or ▼button to
select “Air/CATV”.
Note: STD, HRC and IRC identify various types of cable
TV systems. Contact your local cable company to identify
the type of cable system that exists in your particular area.
At this point the signal source has been selected. Proceed
to “Storing Channels in Memory” (next page).
3
Repeatedly press the ˇ
or ˆ
button to cycle through these
choices: “Air” (antenna) “STD”,
“HRC” or “IRC” (all cable TV).

4
Enter 3 digits of the VCR (Cable box or DVD player) code listed on next page

is a “0”. (If more than one code
listed, try the first one.)
5
Press the POWER button on the remote control. Your VCR (Cable box or
DVD player) should turn on. If your VCR (Cable box or DVD player) turns on,
your remote control is now set correctly.

(Cable box or DVD player).
