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.

Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture ﬁles) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock

or news bars at screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of still pictures can cause ghosting of LCD screen, which will affect image

quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow below recommendations:

Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.•

Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.•

Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout •

process.

Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.•

Securing the Installation Space

Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation.

Failing to do so may result in ﬁre or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.

When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

✎

If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.

The appearance may differ depending on the product.

Connecting to an AV Device

Using an HDMI / DVI Cable: HD connection (up to 1080p)

We recommend using the HDMI connection for the best quality HD picture.

Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, HD cable box, HD satellite receiver (STB).

HDMI IN 1(DVI)

✎

, 2, 3, 4 / PC/DVI AUDIO IN

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the

HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray

player, HD cable box, HD STB satellite receiver, cable box, or STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI

to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio.

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.

Be sure to purchase a certiﬁed HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may

occur.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)

✎

When a Digital Audio System is connected to the

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume

of both the TV and the system.

5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

When the receiver (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 home theater receiver. 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 home theater receiver. If you want to

hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite

receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.

AUDIO OUT

✎

: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier/home theater.

When connecting, use the appropriate connector (sold separately).

04 Advanced Features

Network Connection

You can set up your TV so that it can access the Internet through your local area network (LAN) using a wired or wireless

connection.

Connecting to a Wired Network ¦

You can attach your TV to your LAN using cable in three ways:

You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a Cat y

5 cable. See the diagram below.

You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to a IP Sharer which is connected y

to an external modem. Use Cat 5 cable for the connection. See the diagram below.

Depending on how your network is conﬁgured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN y

port on the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet using a Cat 5 cable. See the diagram below. Note that the wall

outlet is attached to a modem or router elsewhere in your house.

If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway,

and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you do not have to enter them manually. Most home networks

are Dynamic Networks.

Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address,

subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network

connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

If you have a Windows computer, you can also get these values through your computer.

You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a Static IP address. ADSL modems that

✎

support DHCP also let you use Static IP addresses.

Connecting to a Wireless Network ¦

To connect your TV to your network wireless, you need a wireless router or modem and a Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter

(WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN) , which you connect to your TV’s back or side panel USB jack. See the illustration below.

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.

com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11A/B/G and N communication protocols. Samsung

recommends using IEEE 802.11N. When you play video over a IEEE 802.11B/G connection, the video may not play smoothly.

NOTE

✎

You must use the

“Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN) to use a wireless

network.

Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter and The USB extension Cable are sold separately and are offered by select retailers,

Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com.

To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer (either a router or a modem). If the

wireless IP sharer supports DHCP, your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer

is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.

If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.

If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or

TKIPAES (WPS2Mixed) for your AP, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi

certification specifications.

If your AP supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network via PBC (Push Button

Configuration) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in

either mode.

Keep the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter at a distance from the TV. If you watch the TV with the Adapter connected

nearby, images may appear corrupted for some channels.

If your router, modem, or device is not certified, it may not connect to the TV via the “Samsung Wireless LAN

Adapter.”

Connection Methods

: You can setup the wireless network connecti

on on four ways.

If Your TV Fails to Connect to the Internet

Your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet

because your ISP has permanently registered the

MAC address (a unique identifying number) of your

PC or modem, which it then authenticates each time

you connect to the Internet as a way of preventing

unauthorized access. As your TV has a different MAC

address, your ISP can not authenticate its MAC address,

and your TV can not connect.

To resolve this problem, ask your ISP about the procedures

required to connect devices other than a PC (such as your

TV) to the Internet.

If your Internet service provider requires an ID or password

to connect to the Internet, your TV may not be able to

connect to the Internet. If this is the case, you must enter

your ID or password when connecting to the Internet.

The internet connection may fail because of a ﬁrewall

problem. If this is the case, contact your Internet service

provider.

If you cannot connect to the Internet even after you have

followed the procedures of your Internet service provider,

please contact Samsung Electronics at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

Anynet+

What is Anynet+?

Anynet+ is a function that enables you to control all connected Samsung devices that support Anynet+ with your Samsung

TV’s remote. The Anynet+ system can be used only with Samsung devices that have the Anynet+ feature. To be sure your

Samsung device has this feature, check if there is an Anynet+ logo on it.

To connect to a Samsung Home Theater

1. Connect the HDMI IN (1(DVI), 2, 3 or 4) jack on the TV and the HDMI OUT jack of the corresponding Anynet+ device

using an HDMI cable.

2. Connect the HDMI IN jack of the home theater and the HDMI OUT jack of the corresponding Anynet+ device using an

HDMI cable.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on your TV and the Digital Audio Input

on the Home Theater.

When following the connection above, the Optical jack only outputs 2 channel audio. You will only hear sound from

the Home Theater’s Front Left and Right speakers and the subwoofer. If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect

the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DVD / Satellite Box (i.e. Anynet Device 1 or 2) directly to the

Amplifier or Home Theater, not the TV.

Only one Home Theater can be connected.

You can connect an Anynet+ device using the HDMI 1.3 cable. Some HDMI cables may not support Anynet+

functions.

Anynet+ works when the AV device supporting Anynet+ is in the standby or on status.

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 Safety Flyer included 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.

molly to anchor the screw.

3. Tie the TV-Holder cord to the screw fastened to 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.

✎
