UN50J5000 Smart LED TV

Product Information: LED TV

Specifications:

Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Screen Sizes: 37 inches or smaller
Product Design: Wide screen format LED Display

Product Usage Instructions:

1. Television Format Viewing:

The LED TV is primarily designed to view wide screen format
full-motion videos in the 16:9 aspect ratio. To achieve the best
viewing experience, make sure that the images displayed on the
screen are in the wide screen format or expanded to fill the screen
if your model offers this feature.

2. Avoiding Still Images:

Avoid displaying still images or image elements (such as TV
channel logos, TV shows or movies in panorama or 4:3 format, stock
or news scroll bars, etc.) on the screen for extended periods of
time. This can cause ghosting or image burn-in on the LED screen,
affecting image quality. Limit the display of still images to no
more than 5% of the total television viewing time per week.

3. Vary Programming and Images:

To prevent uneven aging of the LED display and permanent
burned-in ghost images, vary the programming and images displayed
on your LED TV. Primarily display full-screen moving images instead
of stationary patterns or dark bars. If your model offers picture
sizing features, use these controls to view different formats as a
full-screen picture.

4. Careful Format Selection:

Be careful about the television formats you select and the
length of time you view them. Uneven LED aging can occur as a
result of format selection and use, leading to screen burn-in.
Refer to the proper user manual section for more details on format
selection and usage.

FAQ:

Q: What aspect ratio does the LED TV support?

A: The LED TV supports a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is ideal for
wide screen format full-motion videos.

Q: Can I display still images on the screen?

A: Yes, you can display still images on the screen, but it is
recommended to limit the display of still images to no more than 5%
of the total television viewing time per week to avoid ghosting or
image burn-in.

Q: How can I prevent image burn-in?

A: To prevent image burn-in, vary the programming and images
displayed on your LED TV. Avoid displaying stationary patterns or
dark bars for extended periods of time. Primarily display
full-screen moving images.

Q: What should I do if I have questions or comments about

Samsung products?

A: Please contact the SAMSUNG customer care center for any
questions or comments relating to Samsung products.

Do not install your Wall Mount Kit while your TV is turned on. It may result in personal injury due to electric shock.

Securing the TV to the Wall
Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing onto the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure that your children do not hang over or destabilize the TV; doing so may cause the TV to tip over, resulting in serious injuries or death. Follow all safety precautions provided on the included Safety Flyer. For added stability, install the anti-fall device for safety purposes, as follows.
To prevent the TV from falling
Since the necessary brackets, screws, and string or cable are
not supplied, please purchase these separately.
1. Insert the screws into the wall brackets and firmly fasten them to the wall. Make sure the screws are firmly fixed to the wall.
We strongly recommend you drive the screws into a stud.
2. Using screws, insert the screws through the TV brackets, and then fasten the screws to the top VESA screw holes on the back of the TV.
3. Connect the brackets on the TV and the brackets on the wall with a strong string or cable, and then tie the string or cable tightly to the brackets.
Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check
the connections for any sign of fatigue or failure. If you have any doubt about the security of your connections, contact a professional installer.
Install the TV close to the wall so that it does not fall. Connect the string or cable so that the brackets on the wall
are at the same height or lower than the brackets on the TV. Untie the string or cable before moving the TV.
To purchase a TV Holder kit, contact Samsung customer care.

For example, if you’ve used the AV In jack on your TV, make sure you have
used the AV Out jack on your video source. y Try making sure you have connected to the correct jacks. For example, if you use the Component jacks, labeled
Pb, Pr, and Y, to connect your TV and video source, make sure you have connected the blue Pb jack on the video source to the blue Pb jack on the TV, the red Pr jack on the source to the red Pr jack on the TV.

adjusting these options.
