Digital TV notice \h
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\b Please check with your local 
dealer the possibility to receive DVB-T or DVB-C signal\b
2.	 DVB-T is the DVB European consortium standard \for the broadcast transmission o\f digital terrestrial television and DVB-C is that \for the broadcast 
transmission o\f digital TV over cable\b However, some di\f\ferentiated \features like EPG (Electric Programme Guide), VOD (Video On Demand) and so 
on, are not included in this specification\b So, they cannot be workable at this moment\b
3.	 Although this TV set meets the latest DVB-T and DVB-C standards, as o\f [August, 2008], the compatibility with \future DVB-T digital terrestrial and 
DVB-C digital cable broadcasts cannot be guaranteed\b
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 o\f their business\b
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\b
6.	 For more in\formation, please contact your local Samsung customer care centre\b
 
✎The reception quality o\f TV may be a\f\fected due to di\f\ferences in broadcasting method between the countries\b Please check the TV 
per\formance in the local SAMSUNG Authorized Dealer, or the Samsung Call Centre whether it can be improved by reconfiguring TV setting or 
not\b
Still image warning
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\b) on the screen\b Constant displaying o\f still picture can cause ghosting o\f LED screen, which will a\f\fect image quality\b To reduce risk o\f 
this e\f\fect, please \follow below recommendations:
•   Avoid displaying the same TV channel \for long periods\b
•   Always try do display any image on \full screen, use TV set picture \format menu \for best possible match\b
•   Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout process\b
•   Frequently use all TV \features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, re\fer to proper user manual section \for details\b
 
✎WARNINGS : Image retention, commonly known as screen burn-in, can occur on most types o\f television i\f the same image is displayed 
continuously\b The most common causes o\f image retention are logos that remain stationary on the TV screen\b These logos are common on many 
programmes received via a Set-top Box\b To reduce this risk, avoid displaying still images \for long durations and lower the brightness or contrast 
settings to decrease the intensity o\f the picture\b Extended viewing o\f movies and programs in aspect ratios that are di\f\ferent \from the aspect ratio o\f 
the TV may cause image retention\b Always endeavour to avoid black borders top or bottom by using the zoom \function\b This will help eliminate the 
black borders and fit the picture to the entire area o\f the screen\b Using a video game console may cause image retention and is not recommended\b 
When using a PC input, avoid displaying still images \for long durations and reduce the brightness or contrast settings to decrease the intensity o\f the 
picture\b
 
✎IMPORTANT : Image retention issues are not covered by your Samsung® warranty\b
