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

• 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device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade.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.

Important Warranty Information Regarding
Television Format Viewing

✎ See the warranty card for m ore information o n warranty terms.

Wide screen format PDP Displays (with 16:9 aspect ratios, the 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, with the images constantly in motion. Displaying
stationary graphics and images on the screen, such as the dark sidebars on non-expanded
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 crawls, video
game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited
as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images for more than 5% of total
viewing time can cause uneven aging of your PDP display and 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 of television formats you use for viewing and the amount of time you
view them. 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.

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.

• 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.

• Please try Auto Program to add available channels to the channel list.
go to MENU - Channel - Auto program then select Auto and make sure the correct Cable TV signal type is set
in the menu. There are 3 options. (STD, HRC and IRC)

• Verify the antenna is positioned correctly.

No Caption on digital channels. • Check the Caption Setup menu. Try changing Caption Mode Service 1 to CC1.

• Some channels may not have caption data.

The picture is distorted: macroblock,
error, small block, dots, pixelization.

• Compression of video contents may cause picture distortion. Especially on fast moving pictures such as sports
and action movies.

• A weak signal can cause picture distortion. This is not a TV problem.

Others

Purple/green rolling horizontal bars and
buzzing noise from the TV speakers with
Component cable connection.

• Remove the left and right audio connections from the set-top-box. If the buzzing stops, this indicates that the set­top-box has a grounding issue. Replace the Component video cables with an HDMI connection.

Plasma TV is making humming noise. • Plasma TVs typically make a soft humming sound. This is normal. It’s caused by the electrical charges that are

used to create the images on the screen.

• If the humming sound is loud, you may have set the brightness on the TV too high. Try setting the brightness
lower.

• You can also have loud humming if the back of your Plasma TV is too close to a wall or other hard surface. Also,
try rerouting your connection cables.

• An improperly installed of wall mount can also create excessive noise.

The picture will not display in full screen. • HD channels will have black bars on either side of the screen when displaying up scaled SD (4:3) contents.

• Black bars on the Top & Bottom will be shown on movies that have aspect ratios different from your TV.

• Adjust the picture size option on your external device or change the TV to full screen.

Image Retention (Burn In) Issue. • To minimize the possibility of screen burn, this unit is equipped with Pixel Shift screen burn reduction technology.

Pixel Shift lets you set the picture so it moves slightly up and down (Vertical Line) and side to side (Horizontal Dot).
The regular, slight movement of the picture reduces screen burn in.

The remote control does not work. • Replace the remote control batteries with correct polarity (+/–).

• Clean the transmission window located on the top of the remote control.

• Try pointing the remote directly at the TV from 5~6 feet away.

The cable/set top box remote control
does not turn the TV on or off, or adjust
the volume.

• Program the Cable/Set top box remote control to operate the TV. Refer to the Cable/Set top box user manual for
the SAMSUNG TV code.

A “Mode Not Supported” message
appears.

• Check the supported resolution of the TV and adjust the external device’s output resolution accordingly. Refer to
resolution settings in this manual.

Caption on the TV menu is greyed out. • You cannot select Caption in the TV menu when watching content from a device connected via HDMI or

Component.

• Caption must be activated on the external device.

There is a plastic smell from the TV. • This smell is normal and will dissipate over time.

TV Signal Strength is unavailable in the
Self Diagnosis Test menu.

• This function is only available for digital channels from an Antenna / RF/Coax connection.

TV is tilted to the right or left side. • Remove the stand base from the TV and reassemble it.

Problem Possible Solution

Trouble Powering On Before Turn on check red light on the right or left bottom of your TV. Press power on button on TV or remote

and it will blink about 5 times before turning on.

If you find that you are having trouble powering on your Samsung television, there are a number of things to check
before making a call to the service department.

y If you happen to be using the TV as a monitor and the stand-by light only blinks for a few seconds when you

press the power button, your PC is in sleep mode. To take your PC out of sleep mode, press a key on your
keyboard or move the mouse. Then try turning your TV on.

If you’re sure your power cord, remote control, and PC are functioning properly, you may be having a cable issue. If
you have a cable or satellite box, your TV may appear to be off because the cable or satellite box is not outputting a
signal. To test the signal output of your cable or satellite box, press the guide or info button on the cable or satellite
box remote control. If the screen displays the guide or info data, the problem is caused by the box.

Stand Assembly • If you have any trouble to assemble the stand though you refer to “Install the Stand” mentioned at separate guide.

Cannot find channel • Re-run plug and play.

Poor picture First, perform the Picture Test and to see if your TV is properly displaying the test image.

Go to MENU - Support - Self Diagnosis - Picture Test
If the test image is properly displayed, the poor picture may be caused by the source or signal.

The TV image does not look as good as
it did in the store.

• If you have an analog cable/satellite box, upgrade to a digital set top box. Use HDMI or Component cables to
deliver HD (high definition) picture quality.

• Cable/Satellite subscribers: Try HD channels from the channel line up.

• Air/Cable Antenna connection: Try HD channels after performing Auto program.

✎ Many HD channels are u p scaled from SD(S tandard Defini tion) contents.

• Adjust the Cable/Set top box video output resolution to 1080i or 720p.

The picture is distorted: macroblock
error, small block, dots, pixelization.

• Compression of video contents may cause picture distortion, especially on fast moving pictures such as sports
and action movies.

• A weak signal can cause picture distortion. This is not a TV problem.

• Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 3.3ft) may cause noise in the picture on analog and digital channels.

Color is wrong or missing. • If you’re using a Component connection, make sure the component cables are connected to the correct jacks.

Incorrect or loose connections may cause color problems or a blank screen.

There is poor color or brightness. • Adjust the Picture options in the TV menu. (go to Picture Mode / Color / Brightness / Sharpness)

• Adjust Energy Saving option in the TV menu. (go to MENU - Setup - Eco Solution - Energy Saving )

• Try resetting the picture to view the default picture setting. (go to MENU - Picture - Picture Reset)

There is a dotted line on the edge of
the screen.

• If the picture size is set to Screen Fit, change it to 16:9.

• Change cable/satellite box resolution.

The picture is black and white. • If you are using an AV composite input, connect the video cable (yellow) to the Green jack of component input 1

on the TV.

When changing channels, the picture
freezes or is distorted or delayed.

• If connected to a cable box, please try to reset it. (reconnect the AC cord and wait until the cable box reboots. It
may take up to 20 minutes)

• Set output resolution of the cable box to 1080i or 720p.

Sound Problem First of all, please perform the Sound Test to confirm that your TV audio is properly operating.

(go to MENU - Support - Self Diagnosis - Sound Test)
If the audio is OK, the sound problem may caused by the source or signal.

There is no sound or the sound is too
low at maximum volume.

• Please check the volume of the device (Cable/Sat Box, DVD, Blu-ray, etc.) connected to your TV.

The picture is good but there is no
sound.

• If you are using an external device, check the device’s audio output option (ex. you may need to change your
cable box’s audio option to HDMI when you have a HDMI connected to your TV).

• Reboot the connected device by reconnecting the device’s power cable.

The speakers are making an
inappropriate noise.

• Check the cable connections. Make sure a video cable is not connected to an audio input.

• For Antenna or Cable connections, check the signal information. A weak signal may cause sound distortion.

• Perform the Sound Test as explained above.

No Picture, No Video

The TV will not turn on. • Make sure the AC power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet and the TV.

Troubleshooting

If the TV seems to have a problem, first review this list of possible problems and solution. If none of these troubleshooting tips apply, visit samsung.
com, then click on Support, or call Samsung customer service at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

Problem Possible Solution

Flickering and Dimming If your Samsung Television is flickering or dimming sporadically, you may need to disable some of its energy efficient

features like the Eco Sensor or the Energy Saving feature. If you follow below step with your remote, you can turn
these features off or on.

y Energy saving : User Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → Energy Saving

y Eco Sensor : User Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → Eco Sensor

Component Connections /
Screen Color

If you find that the color on your Samsung television’s screen is not correct or black and White, first run a Self
Diagnosis on the TV to make sure there are no device issues.

y Self Diagnosis : User Menu → Support → Self Diagnosis → Picture Test

y If the test is ok, try making sure ;

y Your connections are all consistent. For example, if you’ve used the AV In jack on your TV, make sure you have

used the AV Out jack on your video source.

y Try making sure you have connected to the correct jacks. For example, if you use the Component jacks, labeled

Pb, Pr, and Y, to connect your TV and video source, make sure you have connected the blue Pb jack on the
video source to the blue Pb jack on the TV, the red Pr jack on the source to the red Pr jack on the TV.

Screen Brightness If you find that the colors on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright, there are some settings

you should check before calling for a repair.

y Cell light, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, Tint and so on. Go in to “Picture” on user Menu then try

adjusting options mentioned above.

Unwanted Powering off If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, there may be an issue with either your Timer settings or your Eco

friendly No Signal Power Off feature.

First make sure you Sleep Timer is not accidentally set. The sleep timer allows you the comfort of falling asleep with
the TV still on but, turns it off after a certain period of time so as not to waste energy.

y Sleep Timer : User Menu → Setup → Time → Sleep Timer

If the Sleep Timer is not activated, you may have engaged the No Signal Power Off or Auto Power Off feature.

y No Signal Power Off : User Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → No Signal Power

y Auto Power Off : User Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → Auto Power Off
