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

To access Smart Hub, press the ™ button on your remote.
✎
For more information about Smart Hub, see the e-Manual.
After you have run the initial setup, you can configure or reconfigure the network connections through the
TV's menu.
Configuring a Wireless Network Connection
The instructions below are for networks that use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to
configure network connections automatically. Most wireless networks use DHCP. If you have a Static IP
network, see the e-Manual for configuration instructions.
To configure the network connection for a network that uses DHCP, follow these steps:
1. Connect your TV to your network as shown in the illustration on page 16.
2. Turn on your TV, and then go to the Network Settings screen. (Menu → Network → Network
Settings)
3. Select Start. The Network function searches for available wireless networks. When done, it displays a
list of the available networks.
4. In the list of networks, move the highlight to select a network, and then select Next.
If you have a WPS(PBC) compatible router, select WPS(PBC) instead, and then follow the
✎
directions on the screen.
5. Enter your network security key or WPS PIN using your remote.
Enter numbers and letters using your remote.
✎
• Enter numbers by pressing the number buttons on your remote.
• To enter a letter, move the Highlight to the letter, and then select it. You can enter numbers in
the same fashion if you choose.
To display capital letters (or redisplay small letters if capital letters are displayed), select Caps or
✎
Shift.
To display symbols and punctuation, select F. To redisplay letters, select F again.
✎
6. When done, select Next if you have entered a security key or WPS PIN if you have entered a WPS PIN.
7. The TV checks the wireless connection. If the connection is successful, the “You are connected to the
Internet. If you have any problems using online services, please contact your Internet Service
Provider.” message appears. Select Next using your remote.
For more detailed information, see “Setting up the Wireless Network” in the e-Manual.
✎
If you want to configure the connection manually, select IP Settings on the Network Connection
✎
screen. Set IP Mode to Manual, and then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server manually.
Most home networks use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure network
connections. Home networks that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask,
gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you don’t have to enter them manually.
If you have a Static IP network, see your user’s manual for configuration instructions.
To configure the network connection for a wired network that uses DHCP, follow these steps:
1. Connect your TV to your network as shown in one of the illustrations on page 17.
2. Turn on your TV, and then go to the Network Settings screen. (Menu → Network → Network
Settings)
3. Select Start.
4. The Network Connection screen appears, and verifies the network connection. When the connection has been verified, the “You are connected to the Internet. If you have any problems using online
services, please contact your Internet Service Provider.” message appears. Network set up is
completed.
If your TV cannot acquire network the connection values automatically or if you want to set the
✎
connection manually, select IP Settings on the network connection screen. Set IP Mode to Manual,
and then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server manually.
For more detailed information, refer to “Setting up the Wired Network” in the e-Manual.
If the TV seems to have a problem, first review this list of possible problems and solution. Also review the
Troubleshooting Section in the e-Manual. If none of the troubleshooting tips apply, visit www.samsung.

bottom of your TV. Press the Power on button on the TV or remote.
The light should blink about 5 times before the TV turns 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.
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.
