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 42 of this manual to reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when
displaying a still image.
Altitude
The PDP will not operate normally at altitudes above 6500 ft.
Heat the top side of the PDP TV
PDP TV displays picture by Plasma discharge. For this reason, using the PDP TV for a long period
of time results in dissipation of heat by the panel.
Please note that the top side of the product may be hot after use for long periods of time as the
heat dissipation from the panel through the vent hole in the upper part of the product.
You don't have to worry since PDP TV’s heat dissipation does not necessarily indicate any defect
or operation failure of the product.
Particularly when watching TV with children, adults should prevent children from touching the
upper part of the product.
The product is making a ‘clacking’ noise.
The ‘clacking’ noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to change of
surrounding environment such as temperature or humidity.
You don't have to worry since the noise doesn't mean the product is out of order.
There are black or red spots on the screen.
PDP is using the panel consisted of 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixels which
requires sophisticated technology to produce.
There might be bright or dark spots on the screen but those spots will have no impact on the
perfomance of the product.
Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 5°C(41°F)
The still image 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.
By PDP’s nature, after displaying still images from Video games and PC for over a certain period
of time may produce partial afterimage. It is because the PDP Panel’s accumulation effect may
produce the intensity degradation of the panel. To prevent from 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.

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

1
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.
2
Use the Antenna Cable, an accessory included
in the product package.
19
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
1
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
2
IN terminal of the cable box.
Connect a coaxial cable between the
ANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box
3
and the B-IN terminal of the A/B switch.
20
Connect a coaxial cable between the
ANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box
4
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
5
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.)
