Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference only and may differ from actual product appearance. Product design and speciﬁcations may be changed without notice.

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

• 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 in the 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 2,360,000(HD-level) to 6,221,000(FHD-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 41°F (5°C)

• 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.

✎

HDMI IN 1(DVI), 2, 3, 4, PC/DVI AUDIO IN

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blue-ray

player, HD cable box, HD STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio.

If an external device such as a DVD, Blu-ray player, cable box, STB satellite receiver supporting HDMI

versions older than 1.3 is connected, the TV may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display / no sound / annoying flicker / abnormal color).

If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you

suspect the version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HDMI version and request an upgrade.

It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certified cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a

connection error may occur.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)

When a digital audio system is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume

of both the TV and the system.

5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

When the receiver (amplifier or DVD home theater) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s

optical jack. When the TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the amplifier or DVD home theater. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2CH audio will be heard from the amplifier or DVD home theater. If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.

✎

AUDIO OUT: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier/home theater.

When connecting, use the appropriate connector.

When an audio amplifier is connected to the AUDIO OUT jacks: Decrease the volume of the TV and adjust the

volume level with the Amplifier’s volume control.

If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you don’t have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.

Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a Windows computer, you can also get these values through your computer.

✎

You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a Static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use Static IP addresses.

NOTE

You must use the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGN) to use a wireless network.

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately. The WIS09ABGN Wireless LAN adapter is offered by select

retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com. To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP sharer supports

DHCP, your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network. Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports IEEE 802.11A, IEEE 802.11B, IEEE 802.11G, IEEE 802.11N. When you play

the video over IEEE 802.11B/G connection, the video may not be played smoothly. Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer

is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure. If you apply a security system other than the systems listed blow, it will not work with the TV.

If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP-

AES (WPS2Mixed) for your AP, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.

If your AP supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network via PBC (Push Button

Configuration) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in either mode.

If your router, modem, or device isn’t certified, it may not connect to the TV via the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.”

Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection four ways.

– PBC (WPS) – Auto Setup (Using the Auto Network Search function) – Manual Setup – Ad-Hoc

All of Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter shoud be connected directly to the TV’s USB port. USB HUB are not

supported.

If Your TV Fails to Connect to the Internet

Your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet because your ISP has permanently registered the MAC address (a unique identifying number) of your PC or modem, which it then authenticates each time you connect to the Internet as a way of preventing unauthorized access. As your TV has a different MAC address, your ISP can not authenticate its MAC address, and your TV can not connect.

To resolve this problem, ask your ISP about the procedures required to connect devices other than a PC (such as your TV) to the Internet.

If your Internet service provider requires an ID or password to connect to the Internet, your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet. If this is the case, you must enter your ID or password when connecting to the Internet.

The internet connection may fail because of a ﬁrewall problem. If this is the case, contact your Internet service provider.

If you cannot connect to the Internet even after you have followed the procedures of your Internet service provider, please contact Samsung Electronics at 1-800-SAMSUNG.
