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 15 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 environm ent 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(ARC), 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, Blu-ray

x

player, HD cable box, or 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 / HD cable box / HD STB satellite receiver supporting

x

HDMI version older than 1.4 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

x

suspect the version is older than 1.4, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HDMI version and
request an upgrade.

Samsung TVs support HDMI 1.4 (with 3D and Audio Return Channel). However, the ARC(Audio Return

x

Channel) function is only supported on HDMI IN 2(ARC).

– If 3D Auto View is On, some functions, such as Internet@TV, are disabled. To use these functions,

set 3D Auto View or 3D Mode to Off.

The ARC function enables digital output of sound using the TV's HDMI IN 2(ARC) port and can only be

x

operated when the TV is connected to an audio receiver that supports ARC.

– The ARC mode is only enabled when the TV is connected to a device with an HDMI Standard cable, HDMI

High Speed cable, Hdmi Standard with Ethernet cable or HDMI High Speed with Ethernet cable.

– When the Input Source is the TV, the ARC function allows audio to be heard from a receiver. The audio is sent

to a receiver from the TV via an HDMI cable without the need for a separate optical cable.

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

x

connection error may occur.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ THE
FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR
CHILD USE THE 3D FUNCTION

WARNING



As the TV turns on, the left and right sides of 3D

x

pictures may overlap more than usual. It may take
time until the picture quality is optimized.

The 3D effect may be experienced differently

x

depending on the viewer. You may not notice the 3D
effect at all if you have a prescription for one eye that
is very different from the other eye.

Parents’ careful supervision is required particularly

x

when children or teenagers view 3D images.
Photosensitive Seizure Warning and Other Health

x

Risks

– Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure

or stroke when exposed to certain flashing images
or lights contained in certain television pictures or
video games. If you or any of your relatives has a
history of epilepsy or strokes, please consult with a
medical specialist before using the 3D function.

– Do not watch 3D pictures when you feel

incoherent, sleepy, tired or sick. Avoid watching 3D
pictures for long hours.

– Even those without a personal or family history

of epilepsy or stroke may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic
seizures.”

– If you experience any of the following symptoms

immediately stop watching 3D pictures and
consult a medical specialist: (1) altered vision; (2)

lightheadedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary
movements such as eye or muscle twitching;
(5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of awareness;
(8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/or (10)
disorientation. Parents should monitor and ask

their children about the above symptoms-children
and teenagers may be more likely than adults to
experience these symptoms.

Note that watching TV while sitting too close to the

x

screen for an extended period of time may weaken
your eyesight.

Note that watching TV while wearing 3D Active

x

Glasses for an extended period of time may cause a
headache or fatigue. If you feel headache, fatigue or
dizziness, stop watching TV and rest.

Some 3D pictures may startle viewers. The pregnant,

x

elderly, epileptic and those suffering from serious
physical conditions are advised to avoid utilizing the
unit’s 3D functionality.

We don't recommend watching 3D if you are in bad

x

physicalcondition, need sleep or have been drinking
liquor.



Please take care to be aware of the world around

x

you. This product is designed to be immersive. DO
NOT use this product near open stairwells, cables,
balconies, or other objects that can be tripped over,
run into, knocked down, broken or fallen over. Being
startled or deluding yourself into thinking that the 3D
images are real may cause you to crush a nearby
object or get injured trying to move your body.

Do not use the 3D Active Glasses for any other

x

purpose than for which it was designed. Wearing the
3D Active Glasses for any other purpose (as general
spectacles, sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.)
may physically harm you or weaken your eyesight.

Immersive video can potentially have adverse effects

x

on the user including motion sickness, perceptual
after effects, disorientation, eye strain, and
decreased postural stability. Take frequent breaks to
lessen the potential of these effects, as is commonly
suggested for other items, such as keyboards and
computer monitors, that you may tend to fixate or
concentrate on. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or
dryness or if you have any of the above symptoms,
immediately discontinue use of this device and do
not resume using it for at least thirty minutes after
the symptoms have subsided.

The ideal viewing distance should be three times

x

or more the height of the screen. We recommend
sitting with viewer's eyes on a level with the screen.

Network Connection

You can set up your TV so that it can access the Internet through your local area network (LAN) using a wired or wireless
connection.

 Connecting to a Wired Network

You can attach your TV to your LAN using cable in three ways:

y You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a Cat

5 cable. See the diagram below.

The Modem Port on the Wall

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.
