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) 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 24 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 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.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You
will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of Antenna cable. (These items are available at most
electronics stores.)

1. Find and disconnect the cable that is

connected to the ANT IN terminal on your
cable box.

This terminal might be labeled “ANT IN”,
“VHF IN” or simply, “IN”.

2. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

3. Connect an Antenna cable between the

OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN
terminal on the cable box.

4. Connect an Antenna cable between the ANT

OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN
terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.

5. Connect another cable between the other

OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN
terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.

6. Connect the last Antenna cable between the

OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the
ANT IN terminal on the rear of the TV.

After you have 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 TV to the cable box’s output channel,
which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD / Blu-Ray Player or Cable Box /
Satellite receiver supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no
sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2(DVI) jack and the audio cables to the DVI AUDIO IN [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the
back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-Ray Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver to Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver to receiver to

conrm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying icker or no screen display.

Connecting a DVD /Blu-Ray Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver
(Set-Top Box) via DVI

This connection can only be made if there is a DVI Output jack on the external device.

Connecting a Digital Audio System

The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a Digital Audio System(Home theater/Receiver) to your TV.

1. Connect an Optical Cable between the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jacks on the TV and the Digital Audio Input (OPTICAL)

jacks on the Digital Audio System.
When a Digital Audio System is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack : Decrease the volume of the TV, and

adjust the volume level with the system’s volume control.

5.1CH audio is possible when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1CH.

Each Digital Audio System has a different back panel conguration.

When the receiver (home theater) is set to On, you can hear sound output from the TV’s Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a
DTV(air) signal, the TV will send out 5.1 channel sound to the Home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such
as a DVD and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 channel sound will be heard from the Home Theater receiver.
If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DVD / Blu-Ray player or Cable/

Satellite Box directly to an Amplier or Home Theater, not the TV.

Connecting an Amplifier / DVD Home Theater

1. Connect Audio Cables between the AUDIO OUT [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the TV and AUDIO IN [L-AUDIO-R] jacks on the Amplier/

DVD Home Theater.

When an audio amplier is connected to the AUDIO OUT [R-AUDIO-L] jacks terminals : Decrease the volume of the TV, and adjust
the volume level with the Amplier’s volume control.

Each Amplier / DVD Home Theater has a different back panel conguration.
When connecting an Amplier / DVD Home Theater, match the color of the connection terminal to the cable.
