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) 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 25 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 PDP TV

The top side of the product may be hot after long period 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 PDP 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.

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

Connections

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see “Antennas with 300 ΩFlat Twin Leads” below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see “Antennas with 75 ΩRound 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 Ωtwin flat leads, follow the directions below.

1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75Ωadapter (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

2. Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads

1. Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

1. Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

What is HDMI?

• HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the transmission of the digital audio and video signals using a single cable without compression.

• “Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels). The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi-channel digital audio.

Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (air) and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH or CH button to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).

Selecting the Video Signal-source

Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e. an air or a cable system).

Using Your TV as a Computer (PC) Display

Setting Up Your PC Software (Based on Windows XP)

The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. The actual screens on your PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular video card. However, even if your actual screens look different, the same basic set-up information will apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)

1. First, click on “Control Panel” on the Windows start menu.

2. When the control panel window appears, click on “Appearance and Themes” and a

display dialog-box will appear.

3. When the control panel window appears, click on “Display” and a display dialog-box will appear.

4. Navigate to the “Settings” tab on the display dialog-box. The correct size setting (resolution)

Optimum: 1024 x 768 pixels

If a vertical-frequency option exists on your display settings dialog box, the correct value is “60” or “60 Hz”. Otherwise, just click “OK” and exit the dialog box.

Display Modes

If the signal from the system equals the standard signal mode, the screen is adjusted automatically. If the signal from the system doesn’t equal the standard signal mode, adjust the mode by referring to your video card user guide; otherwise there may be no video. For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized during manufacture.

➢

• The PC text quality of PL-42C91HP/PL-42Q91HP is optimum in XGA mode (1024 x 768@60Hz).

• The PC text quality of PL-50C91H/PL-50Q91HP is optimum in WXGA mode (1360 x 768@60Hz). (Three pixels on left, right, top and bottom will be grayed out at the resolution setting of 1360x768@60Hz. This is not a mechanical problem but a result caused

by the pixel difference between the standard resolution and the PDP panel.)

• When this TV is used as a PC display, 32-bit color is supported.

• Depending on the manufacturer, your PC display screen might appear different. (and depending on your particular version of Windows.) Check your PC instruction book for information about connecting your PC to a TV.

• If a vertical and horizontal frequency-select mode exists, select 60Hz (vertical) and 48.4kHz (horizontal).

• In some cases, abnormal signals (such as stripes) might appear on the TV screen when the PC power is turned off (or if the PC is disconnected). If so, press the SOURCE button on the remote control or SOURCE button on the side panel to enter a VIDEO mode. Also, make sure that the PC is connected.

If the receiver is exclusively for a home theater only (supporting audio only), it may not appear in the device list.

➢

In case of a content with copyright problem, listening through the receiver may not properly operate.
