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.

User Instructions

Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP) 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 44 of this manual to reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.

Cell Defect

The plasma display panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than 99.9 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.

Altitude

The PDP will not operate normally at altitudes above 6500 ft.

Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention. Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads

If your antenna looks like this: it has 75-ohm round leads.

Plug the antenna lead into the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.

Use the Antenna Cable, an accessory included in the product package.

Connecting Cable TV

You can connect different cable systems to your PDP, including cable without a cable box, and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels.

Cable without a Cable Box

Plug the incoming cable into the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.

Use the Antenna Cable, an accessory included in the product package.

Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

Find the cable connected to the ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box. This terminal might be

labeled "ANT OUT", "VHF OUT" or simply "OUT".

Connect the cable to the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.

Use the Antenna Cable, an accessory included in the product package.

Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles Some (But Not All) Channels

To complete this connection you will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four coaxial cables (which you can buy from your Samsung dealer or any electronics store).

Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal of

your cable box. This terminal might be labeled "ANT IN", "VHF IN" or simply, "IN". Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

Connect a coaxial cable between an OUTPUT terminal of the splitter and the

IN terminal of the cable box.

Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box

and the B-IN terminal of the A/B switch.

Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box

and the B-IN terminal of the A/B switch.

Connect the last coaxial cable between the OUT terminal of the RF (A/B) switch and

the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.

After you've made this connection, set the A/B switch to the "A" position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the "B" position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to "B", you will need to tune your Set-Top Box to the cable box's output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
