Important Warranty Information
Regarding Television Format
Viewing
Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily
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 stationary 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 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 constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark
side-bars on non-expanded standard format television video and programming, 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 guidelines can
cause uneven aging of picture tubes (LCDs) that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images
in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display 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 LCD aging
as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered by your
Samsung limited warranty.
[Note]
If a still image is displayed for an extended period of time, residual images or blurring may appear.
When you need to leave the monitor unused for an extended period of time, adjust the settings so
that the monitor automatically goes into energy saving mode or activates the screen saver to display
moving images.

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 page 8.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas”, on page 8.
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.

4
The “TV guidelines”
screen will appear.
Press the the UP/DOWN

categories:
TV-Y Young children
TV-Y7 Children 7 and over
TV-G
TV-PG
TV-14
TV-MA

General audience
Parental guidance
Viewers 14 and over
Mature audience
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 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.)
At 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/DOWN buttons to block or unblock the category.
Press the MENU button once to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be highlighted, and no letters
will blink. To exit this screen, press the MENU again. To select a different TV-Rating, press the
UP/DOWN buttons 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: Sexual suggestive 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.)

How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
First, highlight 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/DOWN
buttons to change the sub-rating.
Press MENU once to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected, and no letters will
blink. To exit this screen, press the MENU button again. To select a different TV-Rating, press
the UP/DOWN
buttons 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.
7
Press the MENU button three times to clear all the screens.
(Or proceed to the next section, and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).
How to Set up Restrictions using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG,
PG-13, R, NC-17, X
The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system,
and its main application is for movies. (Eventually, movie videocassettes will be encoded
with MPAA ratings.) When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any
programs that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).

How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip
Blocks a Channel (“Emergency Escape”)
If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go blank and
the following message will appear: “Excessive rating”.
To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons. Under certain
conditions (depending on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might lock out all the
channels.
In this case, use the Menu button for an “emergency escape”:
Select the V-Chip on the Menu. Enter your Pin number, and press the ENTER
button to
temporarily disable the V-Chip Lock.

Using Your TV as a Computer (PC) Display
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 look different, depending upon your particular
version of Windows and your particular video card. Even if your actual screens look
different, the same, basic set-up information will apply in most cases.
(If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)
First, click on “Settings” on the
Windows start menu.
While “Settings” is highlighted,
move the cursor so that “Control
Panel” is highlighted.
When the control panel screen
appears, click on “Display” and a
display dialog-box will appear.
Navigate to the “settings” tab on
the display dialog-box.
The two key variables that apply
the TV-PC interface are “resolution”
and “colors.” The correct settings
for these two variables are:
* Size (sometimes called
“resolution”): 1280 x 768 pixels
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.
* See “Display Mode” on page 74.
