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 screen, such as the dark sidebars on no 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, web sites 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 used 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. SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS NORTH AMERICAN LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock or news bars 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 to display a full screen image. Reducing brightness and contrast will help to avoid the appearance of after-images. Use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn, refer to proper user manual section for details.
Securing the Installation Space
Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to do so may result in fire or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.
When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only. x If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.
The appearance may differ depending on the product.
Be careful when you contact the TV because some parts can be somewhat hot.

HDMI IN 1(DVI), 2(ARC), 3, 4, PC/DVI AUDIO IN
x For better picture and audio quality, connect to a digital device using an HDMI cable.
x An HDMI cable supports digital video and audio signals, and does not require an audio cable. To connect the TV to a digital device that does not support HDMI output, use an HDMI/DVI and audio cables.
x The picture may not display normally (if at all) or the audio may not work if an external device that uses an older version of HDMI mode is connected to the TV. If such a problem occurs, ask the manufacturer of the external device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade.
x Be sure to use an HDMI cable with a thickness of 14 mm or less.
x Be sure to purchase a certified HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may occur.
x A basic high-speed HDMI cable or one with ethernet is recommended. This product does not support the ethernet function via HDMI.
x This product supports the 3D and ARC (Audio Return Channel) functions via an HDMI cable. Note that the ARC function is supported by the HDMI IN 2(ARC) port only. If 3D Auto View is set to On, some functions such as Internet@TV may be disabled. In this case, set 3D
Auto View or 3D Mode to Off.
x The ARC function allows digital audio to output via the HDMI IN 2(ARC) port. It can be enabled only when the TV is connected with an audio receiver that supports the ARC function.
