ImportantWarrantyInformation
RegardingTelevisionFormatViewing

Wide screen format PDPDisplays (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 Iogos, 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 PDPmodels 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 PDPaging as a

result of format selection and use, as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung

limited warranty.

UserInstrucfions

@

ScreenImageretention

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 53 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 normal]y at heights under 65OOft.

@

HeatonthetopofthePDPTV

The top side of the product may be hot after Iongperiods 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.

@

Theproductismakinga '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.

CellDefects

@

The PDP uses a panel consisting of 1,230,O00(SD-level) to 3,150,OO0(HD-leve]) 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.

@

Avoidoperatingthe TV at temperaturesbelow5°C (41°F)

@

AstillimagedisplayedtoolongmaycausepermanentdamagetothePDPPanel.

Watching the PDPTV 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.

@

AfterimageontheScreen.

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.
