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 effect to the screen.

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

Afterimage 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.

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see “Antennas with 300 Ω Flat

Twin Leads” below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see “Antennas with 75 Ω Round

Leads”.

If you have two antennas, see “Separate VHF and UHF Antennas”.

Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that

has 300 Ω twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

3 Close the cover as shown in the figure.

➢

Remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place if you won’t be using the

remote control for a long time. The remote control can be used up to about 23 feet

(7m) from the TV. (Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries last for about one year.)

➢

If the remote control doesn’t work, check the following:

1. Is the TV power on?

2. Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?

3. Are the batteries drained?

4. Is there a power cut, or is the power cord unplugged?

5. Is there a special fluorescent light or a neon sign nearby?

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)

terminal:

TV, and adjust the volume

level with the system’s

volume control.

What is OPTICAL?

• Converts the 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 external input source device 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.
