Making Connections
Connect your TV to an antenna or cable connection, and then connect your peripherals. When done, connect the power cord to the TV, and then connect the power cord to an AC wall outlet. If you are connecting your TV to a cable or satellite box using HDMI, Component, or Composite connections, you do not need to connect the ANT IN jack to an antenna or a cable connection.

For the best picture and audio quality, connect digital devices using an HDMI cable.
If you connect an external device to the TV that uses an older version of HDMI, the video and audio may not work. If this
occurs, ask the manufacturer of the device about the HDMI version and, if it is out of date, request an upgrade.
Be sure to purchase a certified HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may occur.
PC/DVI AUDIO IN input is not supported.
For an HDMI to DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 2(DVI) jack.
Connecting through the HDMI cable may not be supported depending on the PC.
If an HDMI to DVI cable is connected to the HDMI IN 2 (DVI) port, the audio does not work
For Set-top box connection using HDMI cable, we highly recommend you to connect the HDMI IN 1 (STB) port.

IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION REGARDING TELEVISION FORMAT VIEWING

Standard screen format televisions with aspect ratios of 4:3 (the ratio of the screen width to screen height) are primarily designed to display standard format full-motion video.

The images displayed on them should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and be constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphicsand 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 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 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 crawls, 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 LED Display Panels 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 aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.
