Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing  
Standard screen format televisions(4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view standard format  
full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving. Displaying  
stationary graphics and 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(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 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 reports, 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 picture tubes(CRTs) 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 CRT aging as a result of format selection and  
use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B  
switch to “B”, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s  
output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

Checking the Digital-Signal Strength - Digital  
Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from “snowy” to clear,  
digital(HDTV) channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at  
all. So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however,  
adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.

How to set the FV, V, S, L, and D sub-ratings. First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA  
(See Step 7), and press the ► button. The B will be displayed for each sub-rating. While B is selected, press the ► button to go to  
a sub rating. Press the ▲ or ▼ to block the sub rating. Press the MENU button to save. To select a different TV-Rating, press the  
▲ or ▼ button and then repeat the process.  
The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are “more restrictive”.  
For example, if you block L sub-rating in TV-PG, then the L sub-ratings in TV-14 and TV-MA will automatically be blocked.  
These categories consist of two separate groups: TV-Y and TV-Y7 (young children through age 7), and TV-G through TV-MA  
(everybody else). The restrictions for these two groups work independently: If a household includes very young children as well as  
young adults, the TV guidelines must be set up separately for each age group.  
How to Set up Restrictions Using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, X, NR  
The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and its main application is for  
movies. When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any programs that are coded with objectionable ratings  
(either MPAA or TV-Ratings).

originally an analog program which has been converted to digital. The visual quality is of an
