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, 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.

Securing the Installation Space

Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to do so may result in ﬁre or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.

✎

When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

• If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.

✎

The appearance may differ depending on the product.

✎

Be careful when you contact the TV because some parts can be somewhat hot.

Connecting to an AV Device

Using an HDMI or an HDMI to DVI Cable: HD connection (up to 1080p)

Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, HD cable box, HD STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver

✎

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

For better picture and audio quality, connect to a digital device using an HDMI cable.

An HDMI cable supports digital video and audio signals, and does not require an audio cable.

– To connect the TV to a digital device that does not support HDMI output, use an HDMI/DVI and audio cables.

The picture may not display normally (if at all) or the audio may not work if an external device that uses an older version of HDMI mode is connected to the TV. If such a problem occurs, ask the manufacturer of the external device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade.

Be sure to purchase a certified HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may occur.

A basic high-speed HDMI cable or one with ethernet is recommended. This product does not support the ethernet function via HDMI.

Using a Component (up to 1080p) or an Audio/Video (480i only) Cable

Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, cable box, STB satellite receiver, VCR

✎

When connecting to AV IN, the color of the AV IN [Y/VIDEO] jack (green) will not match the video cable (yellow).

✎

For better picture quality, the Component connection is recommended over the A/V connection.

Connecting to an Audio Device

Using an Optical (Digital) or an Audio (Analog) Cable Connection

Available devices: Digital Audio System, Ampliﬁer, DVD home theater

✎

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 (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 home theater receiver. 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 2 CH audio will be heard from the home theater receiver. 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/DVD 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.

Connecting to a PC

Using an HDMI cable or an HDMI to DVI cable or a D-sub cable

✎

Connecting through the HDMI cable may not be supported depending on the PC.

Wired/Wireless Network Connection

Network Connection - Wireless

You can connect your TV to your LAN through a standard wireless router or modem. To connect wirelessly, you must ﬁrst attach a “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN - sold separately) to either the USB port on the back of your TV. See the illustration below.

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts. com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g and n communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. When you play the video over a IEEE 802.11b/g connection, the video may not play smoothly.

Most wireless network systems incorporate a security system that requires devices that access the network through an access point or AP (typically a wireless IP Sharer) to transmit an encrypted security code called an access key. 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.

Conﬁguring the Network Connection - Wireless

The instructions below are for networks that use the Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHCP) to conﬁgure network connections automatically. If your have a Static IP network, see your user’s manual for conﬁguration instructions. To conﬁgure your network connection for a network that uses DHCP, follow these steps:

1. Connect your TV to your network as shown in the illustrations above.

2. Turn on your TV, press the MENU button on your remote, and the select Network → Network Settings.

3. Select the Wireless(General).

4. The Network function searches for available wireless network. When done, it displays a list of the available networks.

5. In the list of network, press the ▲ or ▼ button to select a network, and then select Next.

6. If the AP has security, enter the Security key (Security or PIN), and then select Next.

✎

When you enter the Security Key (Security or PIN), use ▲/▼/◄/► buttons on your remote to select number/ characters.

7. The network test screen appears, and network setting is done.

✎

For more detailed information, refer to “Wireless Network Connection” in the e-Manual.
