Important Safety Information


Always be careful when using your TV receiver. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and maintaining your machine. Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your TV. Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference. Heed all warnings on the TV receiver and in the operating instructions. Follow all operating and use instructions. Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury. Do not use the TV receiver where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc. Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table where it can fall. A falling TV can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the TV. Follow the manufacturers instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the TV and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn. Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that youve followed the manufacturers instructions for mounting. Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
SAFETY

Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they wont be walked on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit. Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges. Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal. Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock. Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV. Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Extra sound settings (Turbo Sound, Surround, Auto Volume, Melody, BBE or Virtual surround)

The following sound settings can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences. Turbo Sound Turbo sound emphasizes the bass and treble frequencies to add fullness to the sound. Surround Your Samsung TV can create a "surround" effect such that the sound seems to come from all directions. Once the Surround is set to On, the setting applies to sound effects such as Standard, Music, Movie and Speech. Auto Volume Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, which can make it necessary to adjust the volume every time the channel is changed. Auto volume lets you automat-ically adjust the volume of the desired channel by lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or by raising the sound output when the modulation sig-nal is low. Melody You can hear clear a melody sound when the TV is powered on or Off. BBE(TXM3297HF / TXM3097WHF / TXM2797HF) A Sound related function that operates the treble, bass, and boost the function based to 650dB standards and reverses the phase to produce replicated sound that is close to the original sound. Virtual surround( TXM3298HF / TXM3098WHF / TXM2798HF) This function allows the TV L/R speakers to provide a home-like Dolby effect. The center and surround sounds are mixed up into the L/R speakers.
