i ImportantWarrantyinformationRegardingTelevisionFormatViewing i

Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9, the aspect ratio d the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be inthe wide screen 16:9ratio 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 Iogos, 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.

O Screen Image retention

Do notdisplay 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 23 of this manual to reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

Altitude The PDP can only operate normally at heights under 6500ft.

Heat on the top of the Plasma TV The top side of the product may be hot after long periodsof 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 theproduct.

However,children should be preventedfrom touching the upper partof the product.

The product is making a 'cracking' noise. A 'cracking' noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change of surrounding environment such as

temperature or humidity. This is normal and not adefect of the unit.

Cell Defects The PDP uses a panel consisting of 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixels which require sophisticated

technology to produce. However, there may be a few bright or dark pixelson the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.

Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 5°0 (41°F)

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 leavetracesof borders displayed on the left, right and center ofthe 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.

Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longerthan acertain period of time may produce partial after-images. Toprevent 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 bythewarranty.

Digital Audio System

What is OPTICAL?

• Converts the electric signal into an optical light signal,and transmits it through glass fibers. S/PDIF is a transmission system of digital audio in the form of a light wave that uses a glass conductor.

5.1CH audio is possiblewhen the TV isconnected to an external device
