Memorizing Channels

If you are not using a cable box or satellite box, when you first set up

your TV using Plug & Play, the TV memorized the channels that were

available over the air or through your cable system and added them to

the Channel List. The Antenna and Auto program functions described

below let you re-run the channel memorization function without having to

re-run the Plug & Play procedure.

Antenna (Switch to Cable / Switch to Air t)

Before your television can memorize the available channels, you must

select your TV's signal source, Air (using an antenna) or Cable. Select

Menu > Channel > Antenna > Air or Cable. After you have selected the

signal source, go on to the Auto Program function.

✎

Selecting the signal source using the Antenna function also

determines the signal source the TV is tuned to. For example, if you

receive your TV signal over the air, and you select Cable, you will

see only snow. You must select Air to see a picture.

Auto Program

The Auto Program function memorizes all channels that are available

over the air or through your cable system and adds them to the Channel

List.

✎

If your TV is connected to a cable box or satellite box, you do not

need to run Auto Program. You will use the tuner in the box, not the

tuner in the TV, to select channels.

To start Auto Program, follow these steps:
1. Push

m → Channel → Auto Program →

ENTER

E on your

remote. The Antenna Source screen appears.

2. On the Antenna Source screen, select the source of your TV signal.

Air

If your TV is connected to an antenna choose Air, and then press

ENTER

E. The TV will automatically start memorizing channels.

Cable

If your TV is connected to a cable outlet, choose Cable, and then

press

ENTER

E. Go to Step 3.

Auto

If you choose Auto, and then press

ENTER

E, the TV will

automatically select the correct Antenna source. Go to Step 3.

3. On the Cable Type screen, use the

◄/►/▲/▼ buttons to select the

type of digital and analog cable systems you have: STD, HRC, or

IRC. Most systems are STD (Standard). When done, select Start,

and then press

ENTER

E. The TV will start memorizing channels.

✎

Channel memorization can take up to 45 minutes, depending on

your cable system.

✎

Memorized channels are added to the Added Channels list. These

are the channels you will see when you use the Channel buttons on

your remote.

Clear Scrambled Channel

This function filters out scrambled channels after Auto Program is

completed. This process may take 20~30 minutes.

✎

Press the

ENTER

E button to stop Clear Scrambled Channel.

Before connecting your device to the TV, please back up your files

responsible for any data file damage or data loss.

A USB device that requires high power (more than 0.5A) may not

be supported.

Do not disconnect the USB device while it is loading.

The higher the resolution of the image, the longer it takes to

display on the screen.

If a file is corrupted or the TV does not support the file type, the

“Not Supported File Format” message appears.

The TV cannot play MP3 files with DRM that have been

downloaded from a for-pay site. Digital Rights Management

(DRM) is a technology that supports the creation, distribution,

and management of digital content in an integrated and

comprehensive way, including protecting the rights and interests

of content providers, preventing illegal copying of contents, and

managing billing and settlements.

Important Warranty Information Regarding

Television Format Viewing

✎

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

Wide screen format LED Displays 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 the images are constantly

moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, 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 crawls, 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 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 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. To

reduce the risk of this effect, please follow the recommendations below:

Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

Always try to display any image in full screen mode. Use the TV's

Picture 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 proper user manual section for details.
