Important Warranty Information Regarding

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 fullmotion 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 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 about the television formats you select and the length 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.

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 e-Manual to 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 TV.

• 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

Your plasma TV has a panel containing 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 or a 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.

• Caution

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.

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.

Device Device

HDMI IN 1 (DVI), HDMI IN 2 (ARC), HDMI IN 3 (MHL)

✎

HDMI Cable (Not Supplied)

HDMI OUT

• For the best picture and audio quality, connect digital devices to the TV using HDMI cables.

• 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 to DVI cable and audio cables.

• If you connect an external device to the TV that uses an older version of HDMI, the video and audio may not work. If this occurs, ask the manufacturer of the device about the HDMI version and, if it is 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.

• We recommend using a basic high-speed HDMI cable or an HDMI cable that is Ethernet compatible. Note that this product does not support the Ethernet function via HDMI.

• This product supports the 3D and ARC (Audio Return Channel) functions via an HDMI cable. Note that the ARC function is supported by the HDMI IN 2 (ARC) port only.

• The ARC function allows digital audio to output via the HDMI IN 2 (ARC) port on the TV. It can be enabled only when the TV is connected with an audio receiver that supports the ARC function.

• This product supports the Mobile High-Deﬁnition Link (MHL) function via an HDMI-MHL cable. Note that the MHL function is supported by the HDMI IN 3 (MHL) port only.

• The MHL function lets you display a mobile device's screen via the HDMI IN 3 (MHL) port on the TV. It can be enabled only when the TV is connected with a mobile device that supports the MHL function. For more detailed information, see "Using the MHL function" in e-Manual.

• When you use MHL devices via a MHL cable, Picture Size is set to Screen Fit automatically. But if you use MHL devices via an HDMI cable, Picture Size is not set to Screen Fit automatically. To view an original size, select Screen Fit in the Picture Size menu (Menu → Picture → Picture Size).

• If you use MHL devices via an HDMI cable, The TV will be recognized as the HDMI input. In this case, the TV may work differently than when you use MHL devices via a MHL cable.
