Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

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 nonexpanded 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.

➢

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

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 23 of this manual to reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

Altitude

The PDP can only operate normally at heights under 6500ft.

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 of 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 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-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 5°C (41°F)

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.

This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT” or simply, “OUT”.

2 Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below.

You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of Antenna cable. (These items are available

at most electronics stores.)

1

Find and disconnect the cable that is

connected to the ANT IN terminal on your

cable box.

➢

This terminal might be labeled “ANT

IN”, “VHF IN” or simply, “IN”.

2 Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

3 Connect an Antenna cable between an

OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN

terminal on the cable box.

4

Connect an Antenna cable between the

ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the

Connecting a Digital Audio System

The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a Digital Audio System(Home theater/Receiver) to your

TV.

1 Connect an Optical Cable

between the DIGITAL AUDIO

OUT (OPTICAL) jacks on

the TV and the Digital Audio

Input (OPTICAL) jacks on the

Digital Audio System.

When a Digital Audio System

is connected to the “DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)”

jack:

Decrease the volume of the

TV, and adjust the volume

level with the system’s

volume control.

What is OPTICAL?

• An optical cable converts an electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits

it through glass fibers. S/PDIF is a transmission system of digital audio in the form of

a light wave that uses a glass conductor.

➢

5.1CH audio is possible when the TV is connected to an external device

supporting 5.1CH.

➢

Each Digital Audio System has a different back panel configuration.

➢

When the receiver (home theater) is set to On, you can hear sound output from

the TV’s Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a DTV(air) signal, the TV will send

out 5.1 channel sound to the Home theater receiver. When the source is a digital

component such as a DVD and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 channel

sound will be heard from the Home Theater receiver.

If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

(OPTICAL) jack on the DVD player or Cable/Satellite Box directly to an Amplifier or

Home Theater, not the TV.
