Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

✎

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

Wide screen format PDP Displays (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

the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side bars on no 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 reports, 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 PDP Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the PDP picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and

primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars.

On PDP 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 used for viewing. Uneven PDP aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as burned

in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

• SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS NORTH AMERICAN LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

User Instructions

• Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game) on the plasma display panel for more than several minutes as it can cause screen image

retention. This image retention is also known as ‘screen burn’. To avoid such image retention, refer to page 14 of this manual to reduce the degree of

brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

• Heat on the top of the Plasma TV

The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole in the upper part of the

product.

This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product.

However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the product.

• The product is making a ‘cracking’ noise.

A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change in the surrounding environment such as temperature or

humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the unit.

• Cell Defects

The PDP uses a panel consisting of 2,360,000(HD-level) to 6,221,000(FHD-level) pixels which require sophisticated technology to produce. However,

there may be a few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.

• Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41°F (5°C)

• A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.

Watching the Plasma TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of

the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effects to

the screen.

Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

• After-images on the Screen.

Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.

To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images for a long time.

• Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

✎

HDMI IN 1(DVI), 2, 3, PC/DVI AUDIO IN

x

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray

player, HD cable box, or HD STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI

(DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio.

x

If an external device such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver supporting HDMI

versions older than 1.3 is connected, the TV may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display / no sound /

annoying flicker / abnormal color).

x

If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you

suspect the version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HDMI version and

request an upgrade.

x

It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certified cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a

connection error may occur.

Basic Features

✎

The V-Chip will automatically block certain

categories dealing with more sensitive material.

For example, if you block the TV-Y category,

then TV-Y7 will automatically be blocked.

Similarly, if you block the TV-G category, then all

the categories in the young adult group will be

blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The

sub-ratings (D, L, S, V) work similarly. So, if you

block the L sub-rating in TVPG, then the L sub-

ratings in TV-14 and TV-MA will automatically be

blocked.

MPAA Rating: You can block movies depending on

their MPAA rating. The Motion Picture Association of

America(MPAA) has implemented a rating system that

provides parents or guardians with advanced information

on which ﬁlms are appropriate for children.

– G: General audience (no restrictions). / PG: Parental

guidance suggested. / PG-13: Parents strongly

cautioned. / R: Restricted. Children under 17 should

be accompanied by an adult. / NC-17: No children

under age 17. / X: Adults only. / NR: Not rated.

✎

The V-Chip will automatically block any category

that deals with more sensitive material. For

example, if you block the PG-13 category, then R,

NC-17 and X will automatically be blocked.

Canadian English: You can block TV programs

depending on their Anglophone Canadian ratings.

– C: Programming intended for children under age 8. /

C8+: Programming generally considered acceptable

for children 8 years and over to watch on their own.

/ G: General programming, suitable for all audiences.

/ PG: Parental Guidance. / 14+: Programming

contains themes or content which may not be

suitable for viewers under the age of 14. / 18+: Adult

programming.

✎

The V-Chip will automatically block any category

that deals with more sensitive material. For

example, if you block the G category, then PG,

14+ and 18+ will automatically be blocked.

Canadian French: You can block TV programs

depending on their Anglophone Canadian ratings.

– G: General / 8 ans+: Programming generally

considered acceptable for children 8 years and over

to watch on their own. / 13 ans+: Programming may

not be suitable for children under the age of 13. / 16

ans+: Programming is not suitable for children under

the age of 16. / 18 ans+: Programming restricted to

adults.

✎

The V-Chip will automatically block any category

that deals with more sensitive material. For

example, if you block the 8 ans+ category, then

13 ans+, 16 ans+ and 18 ans+ will automatically

be blocked also.

Downloadable U.S. Rating: Parental restriction

information can be used while watching DTV channels.

✎
