Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference only and may differ from actual product

appearance. Product design and specifications may be changed without notice.

Functionalities related to Digital TV (DVB) are only available in countries/areas where DVB-T (MPEG2 and MPEG4 AVC) digital terrestrial signals are

broadcasted or where you are able to access to a compatible DVB-C (MPEG2 and MPEG4 AAC) cable-TV service. Please check with your local

dealer the possibility to receive DVB-T or DVB-C signal.

DVB-T is the DVB European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television and DVB-C is that for the broadcast

transmission of digital TV over cable. However, some differentiated features like EPG (Electric Programme Guide), VOD (Video On Demand) and so

on, are not included in this specification. So, they cannot be workable at this moment.

Although this TV set meets the latest DVB-T and DVB-C standards, as of [August, 2008], the compatibility with future DVB-T digital terrestrial and

DVB-C digital cable broadcasts cannot be guaranteed.

Depending on the countries/areas where this TV set is used some cable-TV providers may charge an additional fee for such a service and you may

be required to agree to terms and conditions of their business.

Some Digital TV functions might be unavailable in some countries or regions and DVB-C might not work correctly with some cable service providers.

For more information, please contact your local Samsung customer care centre.

✎

The reception quality of TV may be affected due to differences in broadcasting method between the countries. Please check the TV

performance in the local SAMSUNG Authorized Dealer, or the Samsung Call Centre whether it can be improved by reconfiguring TV setting or

not.

Avoid displaying still images (like jpeg picture files) or still image element (like TV programme logo, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock or news bar at

screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of still picture can cause ghosting of LED screen, which will affect image quality. To reduce risk of

this effect, please follow below recommendations:

• Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

• Always try do display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.

• Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout process.

• Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to e-Manual for details.

✎

WARNINGS: Image retention, commonly known as screen burn-in, can occur on most types of television if the same image is displayed

continuously. The most common causes of image retention are logos that remain stationary on the TV screen. These logos are common on many

programmes received via a Set-top Box. To reduce this risk, avoid displaying still images for long durations and lower the brightness or contrast

settings to decrease the intensity of the picture. Extended viewing of movies and programs in aspect ratios that are different from the aspect ratio of

the TV may cause image retention. Always endeavour to avoid black borders top or bottom by using the zoom function. This will help eliminate the

black borders and fit the picture to the entire area of the screen. Using a video game console may cause image retention and is not recommended.

When using a PC input, avoid displaying still images for long durations and reduce the brightness or contrast settings to decrease the intensity of the

picture.

✎
