❑ 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:

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.

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:
y Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.
y Always try to display any image in full screen mode. Use the TV's
Picture Options menu to select the optimal screen size.
y 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.
y Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and
screen burn-in. Refer to proper user manual section for details.
