1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Some Digital TV functions might be unavailable in some countries or regions and DVB-C might not work
correctly with some cable service providers.
6. 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 programmes 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.
IMPORTANT: Image retention issues are not covered by your Samsung® warranty.
