Memorizing Channels

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

your TV using

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

the 

Channel List

. The 

Antenna

 and

 functions described 

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

re-run the

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.
