Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

✎ See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.
Wide screen format LED 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 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 reports, 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.

Still, the image warning
Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still 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. The constant display of still pictures can cause ghosting or image burn-in (image retention) on the LED screen, which will affect image quality.

• Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.
• Always try to display any image in full-screen mode. Use the TV’sPicture Options menu to select the optimal screen size.
• Reduce brightness and contrast values to the minimum required to achieve the desired picture quality. Values that exceed the minimum may speed up the burn-in process.
• Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn-in. Refer to the proper user manual section for details.

The On Screen Menus

Your TV has two kinds of menus, the Main menu, and the various Tools menus. The Main menu gives you access to most or all of the menu options available on your TV. The Tools menus display a selected number of frequently used menu options that change depending on the screen you are viewing. A Tools menu symbol (T) in the lower right side of the screen indicates that a Tools menu is available.
The Main menu has seven primary categories:

• Picture
• Input
• Sound
• Application
• Channel
• Support
• Setup

To view the Main menu, press the MENU button on your remote. To view a Tools menu, press the TOOLS button on your remote.
✎ The menu options that appear in the Main menu depend on the Source you have selected. For example, if you have selected the HDMI source, the Channel category will not
appear. To see the Channel category, you must first select TV in the Source List.
The Menu options are presented below, arranged by Main menu categories. A Tools button symbol ( ) next to an option name indicates the option is also available in one of the Tools menus.

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.

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.

sporadically, you may need to disable some of its energy-efficient features like the Energy Saving feature. Follow the steps below with your remote to 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 Test on the TV to make sure there are no device issues.
• Self Diagnosis: User 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, and so on. Go to “Picture” in the Menu, and then try adjusting these options.
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 the Sleep Timer is not accidentally set. The Sleep Timer lets you fall asleep with the TV still on knowing that it will turn off after a certain period of time and not waste energy.
• Sleep Timer: User 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: User Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → No Signal Power
• Auto Power Off: User Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → Auto Power Off
Trouble Powering On| Before you turn the TV on, find the red light on the right or left bottom of your TV. Press the power on button on the TV or remote and the light should blink about 5 times before the TV turns on.
If you find that you are having trouble powering on your Samsung television, there are a number of things to check it before making a call to the service department.
• If you happen to be using the TV as a monitor and the stand-by 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. If the screen displays the guide or info data, the problem is caused by the box.
