Important User Information

• Screen Image retention Do not display a still image (such as that from a video game) on the plasma display panel for

more than a few minutes. Still images can cause screen image retention (burn in). 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 TV may become hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole in the upper part of the TV. This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operational failure of unit.

However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the TV.

• The TV is making a ‘cracking’ noise.

• 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 the borders on the left, right, top, or bottom of the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may have a similar effect. Damage caused by the above effect is not covered by the warranty.

• After-images on the Screen. 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.

• Warranty Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

4inches

• Caution

The glass screen of your PDP TV can break if you accidently drop the TV. Handle the TV with care. When moving the TV, always have two or more people pick it up and carry it as a safety precaution. Do not lay the TV ﬂat on its face or back.

(Your) Samsung Plasma TV is a high quality television that has been carefully packaged to protect the integrity of its glass panel and component parts during shipment. It is, nonetheless, a fragile piece of electronics that requires careful handling. Refrain from putting undue stress on any part of the packaging when shipping or unpacking the TV. Use care when installing the TV. Avoid placing the TV in a location where it may be struck, exposed to sharp impacts, or fall. Panel breakage caused by a fall or impact strike is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

■

SAP: Choose to listen to the Separate Audio Program, which is usually a foreign-language translation.

✎ Depending on the program being broadcast, you can listen to Mon o,

Stere o or SAP.

Auto Volume

Because each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, the volume may ﬂuctuate each time channel is changed. This feature lets you automatically adjust the volume of the desired channel by lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or by raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low.

SPDIF Output

The SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital InterFace) outputs an uncompressed digital audio signal when you connect the digital audio jack on the back of the TV to a digital audio in jack on a receiver or home theater.

3. Connect the clamps ﬁxed onto the TV and the clamps ﬁxed onto the wall with a strong cable and then tie the string tightly.

✎ Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check the

connections for any sign of fatigue or failure. If you have any doubt about the security of your connections, contact a professional installer.

✎ Install the TV close to the wall so that it does not fall. ✎ It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps fixed on the wall

are equal to or lower than the clamps fixed on the T V. Untie the string before moving the T V.
