have the 20 – 20,000Hz bandwidth - two front channels (left and right), one central
channel, and two rear channels (left and right); and the 0.1 channel, or the subwoofer
channel, that has the 20 – 100Hz (bass effect).

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.

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).

automatically be blocked also.


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.
