Important Warranty Information Regarding

Television Format Viewing
✎ Wide-screen format LED Displays with aspect ratios of 16:9 (the ratio of the screen width to screen height) are primarily designed to display 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 screens, such as the dark sidebars on non- expanded 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 crawls, video game displays, station logos, websites 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 LED Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full-screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LED 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 you use for viewing. Uneven LED aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

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 clamps, screws, and string are not supplied, please purchase these additionally.

1. Drive the screws into the clamps and firmly fasten them onto the wall. Make sure the screws are firmly fixed into the wall.
2. Remove the screws from the back center of the TV, put the screws into the clamps, and then fasten the screws onto the TV again.
3. Connect the clamps fixed onto the TV and the clamps fixed onto the wall with a strong cable and then tie the string tightly.

✎ 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.
✎ It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps fixed on the wall are equal to or lower than the clamps fixed on the TV. Untie the string before moving the TV.

Troubleshooting

If the TV seems to have a problem, first review this list of possible problems and solutions. If none of these troubleshooting tips apply, visit Samsung. com, then click on Support or call Samsung customer service at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

Problem|

Possible Solution

---|---
Flickering and Dimming| If your Samsung Television is flickering or dimming sporadically, you may need to disable some of its energy-efficient features like the Energy Saving feature. If you follow the below step with your remote, you can turn these features off or on.
Energy Saving: MENU → Setup → Eco Solution → Energy Saving → Select Settings
Component Connections / Screen Color| If you find that the color on your Samsung television’s screen is not correct or black and White, first run a Self Diagnosis on the TV to make sure there are no device issues.
Self Diagnosis: MENU → Support → Self Diagnosis → Picture Test
If the test is ok, try making sure:
Your connections are all consistent. 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.
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.
Screen Brightness| If you find that the colors on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright, there are some settings you should check before calling for a repair.
Backlight, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, Tint (G/R), and so on. Go into “Picture” on the user Menu then try adjusting the options mentioned above.
Unwanted Powering off| If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, there may be an issue with either your Timer settings or your Eco-friendly No Signal Power Off feature.
First, make sure your Sleep Timer is not accidentally set. The sleep timer allows you the comfort of falling asleep with the TV still on but, turns it off after a certain period of time so as not to waste energy.
Sleep Timer: MENU → Setup → Time → Sleep Timer
If the Sleep Timer is not activated, you may have engaged the No Signal Power Off or Auto Power Off feature.
No Signal Power Off: MENU → Setup → Eco Solution → No Signal Power Off
Auto Power Off: MENU → Setup → Eco Solution → Auto Power Off
Trouble Powering On| Before Turning on check the red light on the right or left bottom of your TV. Press the power on button on the TV or remote and it will blink about 5 times before turning on.

If you find that you are having trouble powering on your Samsung television, there are a number of things to check before making a call to the service department.
If you happen to be using the TV as a monitor and the standby light only blinks for a few seconds when you press the power button, your PC is in sleep mode. To take your PC out of sleep mode, press a key on your keyboard or move the mouse. Then try turning your TV on.
If you’re sure your power cord, remote control, and PC are functioning properly, you may be having a cable issue. If you have a cable or satellite box, your TV may appear to be off because the cable or satellite box is not outputting a signal. To test the signal output of your cable or satellite box, press the guide or info button on the cable or satellite box remote control.
