1.Make sure all protective devices are properly installed
including non-metallic handles and compartment covers
when installing or re-installing the chassis or chassis
assemblies.
2.Make sure that no gaps exist between the cabinets for
children to insert their fingers in to prevent children from
receiving electric shocks. Gaps mentioned above include
ventilation holes of a too great magnitude between the
PDP module and the cabinet mask, and the improper
installation of the rear cabinet.
Errors may occur when the resistance is below 1.0 ㏁ or
over 5.2 ㏁.
In these cases, make sure that the device is repaired
before sending it back to the customer.
3.Check for Electricity Leakage (Figure 1-1)
Warning: Do not use an insulated transformer for checking the leakage. Use only those current leakage testers
or mirroring systems that comply with ANSIC 101.1 and
the Underwriter Laboratory's specifications (UL1410,
59.7).
Fig. 1-1 AC Leakage Test
4.Ahigh voltage is maintained within the specified limits
using safety parts, calibration and tolerances. When
voltage exceeds the specified limits, check each special
part.
5.Warning for Engineering Changes:
Never make any changes or additions to the circuit
design or the internal part for this product.
Ex: Do not add any audio or video accessory
connectors. This might cause physical damage.
Furthermore, any changes or additions to the original
design/engineering will invalidate the warranty.
6.Warning - Hot Chassis:
Some TV chassis are directly connected to one end of
the AC power cord for electrical reasons.
Without insulated transformers, the product can only be
repaired safely when the chassis is connected to the
earthed end of the AC power source.
To make sure the AC power cord is properly connected,
follow the instructions below. Use the voltmeter to
measure the voltage between the chassis and the
earthed ground. If the measurement is over 1.0V, unplug
the AC power cord and change the polarity before reinserting it. Measure the voltage between the chassis
and the ground again.
7.Some TV chassis are shipped with an additional
secondary grounding system. The secondary system is
adjacent to the AC power line. These two grounding
systems are separated in the circuit using an
unbreakable/unchangeable insulation material.
8.When any parts, material or wiring appear overheated or
damaged, replace them with new regular ones
immediately. When any damage or overheating is
detected, correct this immediately and make a regular
check of possible errors.
9. Check for the original shape of the lead, especially that
of the antenna wiring, any sharp edges, the AC power
and the high voltage power. Carefully check if the wiring
is too tight, incorrectly placed or loose. Never change the
space between the part and the printed circuit board.
Check the AC power cord for possible damages. Keep
the part or the lead away from any heat-emitting
materials.

10. Safety Indication:
Some electrical circuits or device related materials
require special attention to their safety features, which
cannot be viewed by the naked eye. If an original part is
replaced with another irregular one, the safety or
protective features will be lost even if the new one has a
higher voltage or more watts.
Critical safety parts should be bracketed with ( ).
Use only regular parts for replacements (in particular,
flame resistance and dielectric strength specifications).
Irregular parts or materials may cause electric shock or
fire.

1.The service instructions are printed on the cabinet, and
should be followed by any service personnel.
2. Make sure to unplug the AC power cord from the power
source before starting any repairs.
(a) Remove or re-install parts or assemblies.
(b) Disconnect the electric plug or connector, if any.
(c) Connect the test part in parallel with the electrolytic
capacitor.
3. Some parts are placed at a higher position than the
printed board. Insulated tubes or tapes are used for this
purpose. The internal wiring is clamped using buckles to
avoid contact with heat emitting parts. These parts are
installed back to their original position.
4. After the repair, make sure to check if the screws, parts
or cables are properly installed. Make sure no damage is
caused to the repaired part and its surroundings.
5. Check for insulation between the blade of the AC plug
and that of any conductive materials (i.e. the metal
panel, input terminal, earphone jack, etc).
6.Insulation Check Process: Unplug the power cord from
the AC source and turn the switch on. Connect the insulating resistance meter (500v) to the AC plug blade.
The insulating resistance between the blade of the AC
plug and that of the conductive material should be more
than 1 ㏁.
7.Any B+ interlock should not be damaged.
If the metal heat sink is not properly installed, no
connection to the AC power should be made.
8.Make sure the grounding lead of the tester is connected
to the chassis ground before connecting to the positive
lead. The ground lead of the tester should be removed
last.
9.Beware of risks of any current leakage coming into
contact with the high-capacity capacitor.
10. The sharp edges of the metal material may cause
physical damage, so ensure wearing protective gloves
during the repair.
11. Due to the nature of plasma display panels, partial afterimages may appear if a still picture is displayed on the
screen for a long period of time.
This is caused by brightness deterioration due to the
storage effect of the panel, and to prevent this from
happening, we recommend that the brightness and contrast are reduced.
(e.g.) Contrast: 25, Brightness: 50
Precaution
Samsung Electronics1-3
Warning 1: First carefully read the "Safety Instruction" in this service manual.
When there is a conflict between the service and the safety instructions, follow the safety instruction at all times.
Warning 2: Any electrolytic capacitor with the wrong polarity will explode.
1-2 Servicing Precautions
Page 57
1-3 Static Electricity Precautions
1.Some semi-conductive ("solid state") devices are
vulnerable to static electricity. These devices are known
as ESD. ESD includes the integrated circuit and the field
effect transistor. To avoid any materials damage from
electrostatic shock, follow the instructions described
below.
2.Remove any static electricity from your body by
connecting the earth ground before handling any
semi-conductive parts or ass'ys. Alternatively, wear a
dischargeable wrist-belt.
(Make sure to remove any static electricity before
connecting the power source - this is a safety instruction
for avoiding electric shock)
3.Remove the ESD ass'y and place it on a conductive
surface such as aluminum foil to prevent accumulating
static electricity.
4.Do not use any Freon-based chemicals.
Such chemicals will generate static electricity that
causes damage to the ESD.
5.Use only grounded-tip irons for soldering purposes.
6.Use only anti-static solder removal devices.
Most solder removal devices do not support an
anti-static feature. Asolder removal device without an
anti-static feature can store enough static electricity to
cause damage to the ESD.
7.Do not remove the ESD from the protective box until the
replacement is ready. Most ESD replacements are
covered with lead, which will cause a short to the entire
unit due to the conductive foam, aluminum foil or other
conductive materials.
8.Remove the protective material from the ESD
replacement lead immediately after connecting it to the
chassis or circuit ass'y.
9.Take extreme caution in handling any uncovered ESD
replacements. Actions such as brushing clothes or lifting
your leg from the carpet floor can generate enough static
electricity to damage the ESD.
Precaution

■ Normal Waveform
When the Operating LED blinks normally (at 0.5 second intervals), which indicates the normal operation of the PDP Set and Logic
Board, and the V-SYNC and data output signals are normal.
If the set is out of order, perform troubleshooting according to the procedures below.
1) Visual Inspection : Check if the Operating LED on the Logic Main blinks at a 0.5 second interval.
▶ If the Operating LED blinks too fast or too slow, you have to reload the data onto the MICOM, as this indicates abnormal
data processing in the MICOM. To load the data, supply power to the module and load the data using GA-WRITER.
2) If no problem has been found through the visual inspection, check if the drive waveforms and the address data output are
normal. (Check Point: Check the DAMPING R-NET output of each data output terminal.)
▶ If no drive waveform or address output signal is detected, load data onto the MICOM according to the procedures described
above, as this indicates a MICOM data error.
▶ If data output is detected but is abnormal, it indicates a hardware short-circuit if measured for the drive waveform, or it
indicates abnormal data output due to the abnormal operation of the DDR memory caused by the abnormal Vref voltage if
measured in the address data. Abnormal data output due to the abnormal operation of the DDR memory or a short circuit on
the board, which may be caused during the ass'y process, causes the screen to be abnormally displayed. Therefore, you
have to conduct a short test for each part.
▶ If the Vref voltage (Voltage Divider Voltage) is lower than 1.25V, check the resistance of the resistance output part and check
if the circuit status is normal. This applies the voltage and the proper Vref voltage and results in the screen being properly
displayed.
▶ If the screen is abnormally displayed, even though the Vref voltage is normal, find any abnormal points by conducting a short
test. If a short circuit is found and it is repairable, repair it. If a short circuit is internal, replace the board.
▶ The following waveform appears when the V-sync and address data are output properly.
< Normal V-SYNC Output Waveform >
< Normal Address Data Output Waveform >

2. X, Y Control Block
■ Drive Circuit Definition
The Drive Circuit is a circuit that generates a waveform (high-voltage pulse) for the X and Y electrode group of the panel's external
port so as to control the panel. The high-voltage switching pulse is generated through the combination of the IC HYBRID (Drive
block + IGBT) and FET.
■ Drive Circuit Mechanism
Apicture is displayed on the PDPby applying voltage to the X, Y and ADDRESS electrodes of each pixel according to the appropriate condition. The drive waveform applied to 42HD V4 is of the ISSS (ISSS: Interweaving Scan and Selective Sustain with Scan
IC) type and has IDS (InDependent Sustain) in the Scan section unlike the existing ADS. Discharges within a PDPpixel can be
classified into 3 types:
① Address Discharge: To form a wall voltage within the pixel by giving information (applying DATA voltage) to the pixel to be lit.
② Sustain Discharge: Sustain Discharge is a display section that voluntarily maintains the discharge of the pixels whose wall
voltage has been formed by the Address Discharge. (Optical output for displaying a picture is generated).
③ Erase Discharge: To selectively perform Address Discharge for each pixel, all pixels on the panel should be in the same status
(the wall electric charge status and space electric charge status must be the same). Therefore, the Erase
Discharge section is an important component for guaranteeing the drive margin, and is implemented by
various methods such as applying a log waveform. However, the current 42HD V4 has adopted a wall voltage
control through an RA(Repeated Auto-quenching) reset that separates the discharge area and performs
switching to perform an efficient erase operation, while the gradient was the same in the RAMP section in the
existing approach.
1) Address Discharge
Adischarge that is caused by the difference between the plus electric potential (Va apply voltage of 65~70V + Positive Wall
Charge) of the electrode and the negative electric potential (Applied GND Level + Negative Wall Charge) of the Yelectrode. The
Address discharge forms a wall voltage within the pixel to display color (to be discharged) before the Sustain Discharge period.
That is, the pixel whose wall charge has been formed by the Address Discharge forms a Sustain Discharge vis the following
Sustain pulse.
2) Sustain Discharge
ASustain Discharge is a Self-Sustaining Discharge formed by the accumulation of the electric potential of the Sustain pulse (generally 200 ~ 210 Volt) alternating over the X and Yelectrodes during the sustain period, and the wall charge depending on whether
the pixel has previously been discharged or not. That is, it is controlled by the memory characteristics, one of the basic characteristics of the AC PDP(in that the past operating conditions determine the current status). That is, if a wall voltage exists on the pixel
(if the pixel is on), a discharge is formed again because the applied voltage, which is the sum of the following applied Sustain voltage and the wall voltage, is higher than the discharge threshold voltage. If no wall voltage exists on the pixel (if the pixel is off), a
discharge will not occur because the Sustain voltage is not higher than the discharge threshold voltage. The Sustain Discharge
period is the period for generating actual optical output so as to display a picture on the PDP screen.
3) Erase Discharge
The purpose of a Reset (Erase) Discharge is to create uniformity of the wall voltage within all panel pixels. It evens the wall voltages regardless of the Sustain Discharge in the previous stage. The Erase Discharge has to remove the wall voltage introduced by
the Sustain Discharge by supplying ions or electrons by a discharge. When the wall voltage is removed through a discharge, the
time when the reverse polarity is applied to the wall voltage (fine width erasing) is to be limited or ions or electrons are to be supplied by a weak discharge (low voltage erasing) so as to prevent a wall charge in reverse polarity.
There are 2 known weak discharge (low-voltage) erase methods. 1) Alog waveform adopted by F company and 2) a weak erase
discharge via a ramp waveform adopted by Matsushita and other companies. Both methods control the externally applied voltage
by the difference of the wall voltage of the pixel by applying the rising gradient of the erasing waveform slowly, because the discharge begins when the sum of the existing remaining wall voltage and the rising waveform voltage exceeds the drive threshold
voltage. In addition, a weak discharge is introduced, because the applied voltage is low.

■ Drive Waveform Specifications
- Drive Waveform
- Description of the function of each pulse
1) Y Preset RAPulse
This is supplied to the first sub-field and erases the discharge status of the previous subfield.
2) Y Main RAPulse
During the Y Rising Ramp section, approximately 300V~350V (Vscan-h + Vset) of external voltage is supplied to the Yelectrode,
and a weak discharge is started when each gap voltage is equal to the discharge start voltage. While maintaining the weak discharge, as a whole, negative wall charges are accumulated on the Y electrode and positive wall charges on the X electrode and
the address electrode.
During the Y Falling Ramp section, the negative wall charges accumulated on the Yelectrode by the approximately 105V of X bias
are used to erase the positive wall charges on the X electrode, and the address electrode maintains most of the positive wall
charges accumulated during the (0V) Rising Ramp section preparing for the next address discharge.
3) Y Scan Pulse (Odd/Even)
Ascan pulse classifies the Yelectrode into Odd and Even lines and selects FPC output electrodes sequentially (one line-at-atime). At this time, Vscan is called the Scan Bias Voltage.
AVscan voltage of approximately -175 Volt (Vsc_1) is supplied to the electrode lines. For the other lines, -56 volt (Vsc_h is higher
than Vscan-l by 120V) is supplied. However, negative wall charges are accumulated on the Yelectrode by the Ramp pulse, and
positive wall charges are accumulated on the address electrode, and the voltage applied to the cells, to which the Address pulse
(70V~75V) has been applied, becomes higher than the discharge voltage. An address Discharge occurs as a result. Since the
Scan and Data pulse is applied one line at a time as above, the address time of PDP is very long.
4) IDS Pulse (InDependent Sustain Pulse)
Since an Odd Scan is performed first, the Odd line output sustains optical twice during the IDS section. At this time, a Sustain
Discharge does not occur for the Even line because the Even line is not scanned.
5) CPS Pulse (ComPare Sustain Pulse)
By floating the Odd line that caused the Sustain Discharge in the IDS section to the Vscan-h level, and introducing the Sustain
Discharge only for Even lines, it compensates for the optical output difference between the Even and Odd lines.
6) CMS Pulse (ComMon Sustain Pulse)
Actual optical is output during the common Sustain Discharge section.

■ Mechanism of the FET Operation and High-Voltage Switching
Mechanism of the FET Operation
1) When the signal is output to the gate, (positive electric
potential) FET short circuits
(i.e. Conductor of resistance 0)
2) When no signal is output to the gate (GND), FET changes
to an open circuit (i.e. an insulator of resistance ∞).
High-Voltage Switching of the FET Operation
1) When no signal is applied to G1, FET1 is
opened and when the signal is applied to G2,
FET2 short circuits, GND is output via the output
terminal.
2) When a signal is applied to G1, FET1 short cir
cuits and when no signal is applied to G2, FET2
is opened, and 180V is output via the output
terminal.

ProblemDescriptions
Afixed screen can cause
permanent damage to the TV
Braun tube.
Braun, PDP and LCD TVs can all be damaged. When a still image is displayed in a sequence,
this can leave stains or after-images due to the characteristics of the panel.
However, the DLPTV has the advantage that no stains or after-images are left on the screen.
The DLP TV has mirror pixels on the DMD panel that project the beam onto the screen, in
which the mirror is a digital representation of 0s and 1s, leaving no trace of light.
The mirror returns to a blank state so that no stains or after-images are left.
Length of DVI Cable / PC RGB
Cable
- Atoo long DVI cable may cause a malfunction or degradation of the visual quality due to an
attenuation of the signal. There is no recommendation for the cable length at present.
In general, although a cable length of up to 5 meters should work, please check if video is
properly displayed on the screen after connecting. If you think the length of the cable is longer
than for normal use, check the visual quality of the video on the screen and shorten the
length, if necessary.
- This also applies to the PC RGB (D-Sub) cable. When the length of the cable is longer than
for normal use, video may not be displayed on the screen. In this case, shorten the cable
length.
When a digitally distributed TV
user receives HD-rated
broadcasts:
The digital distributed TV (Ready Technique) can render HD sources as HD-rated.
However, you need to install a set-top box for this purpose. The digital TV alone cannot render
HD broadcasting as HD-rated. Install the formal set-top box for HD broadcasts.
When a digital distributed TV
user selects normal size (4:3) to
receive SD-rated digita
broadcasts:
The digitally distributed TV (Ready Technique) renders any broadcasting service as SD-rated.
However, when connected to a set-top box, the digital TV renders HD broadcasts as HD-rated
and renders SD as SD-rated. The screen size is scaled to 4:3.
When a digitally built-in TV user
receives SD (air) broadcasting:
The digitally integrated TV ("built-in" type) renders SD broadcasting as SD-rated.
This can be understood easily.
Even a high-resolution TV cannot improve a low resolution picture into high quality.
In contrast, an SD-rated TV cannot represent HD broadcasting as HD because the resolution of
the TV is lower than the original.
When selecting a picture size of
4:3 in connection with a
computer or a multimedia
device:
The representation capability of SD or HD-rated depend entirely on the TV set. The HD TV can
render HD broadcasting as HD-rated only when it receives HD sources.
In the meantime, the HD TV renders SD as SD-rated when it receives SD sources.
The picture size has nothing to do with the resolution; TV models like SVP-XXL3HD or
SVP-XXL6HD have a size adjustment feature to 16:9, 4:3, Panorama, Zoom1, Zoom2 and Auto
Wide. This is about the aspect ratio of the top and bottom boundaries to the overall screen and
users can select their preference.

■ SD/HD broadcasts and the TV's display capability are related
1. Adigital broadcast should be transmitted in wide screen (an aspect ratio of 16:9) HD. If the broadcasting station converts a
conventional program created in normal screen (aspect ratio of 4:3) into a digital signal and broadcasts the signal, the left and
right of the picture will not be displayed.
This symptom also appears in other manufacturer's TV's. The three appliance companies are trying to resolve the problem
through the Ministry of Information and Communication.
* When watching an SD (normal) broadcast through a Digital (Wide) TV (480P normal broadcast)
* When watching an SD (normal) broadcast through a Digital Ready (Wide) TV (Using a set-top-box)
* When watching an analog (normal) broadcast through a wide TV
(When watching a broadcast after changing the aspect ratio of the TV from 16:9 (wide screen) to 4:3)
2. When watching a DVD title or video tape in wide screen (21:9) through a wide (16:9) TV, watching video from a computer or
game console by selecting the aspect ratio to 4:3, or watching video from a DVD, VCR, computer or game console through a
wide TV by selecting the aspect ratio to normal (4:3) or wide (21:9), the left and right, or top and bottom of the picture will not be
displayed.
This symptom appears in other manufacturer's TV's. The three appliance companies are trying to resolve the problem through
the Ministry of Information and Communication.
■ Changing the Order of the Picture Size for 16:9 Display Devices
■ Changing the Order of the Picture Size for DTV 1080i/720p Sources
■ Restrictions
1. When you want to change the picture size in PIP 'ON', you must turn the PIP off before changing the size.
However, you can change the main picture size even in PIPON for products with no restrictions.
2. When the picture size is not Normal (4:3 for 4:3 display devices, 16:9 for 16:9 display devices) and you turn PIP on, the picture
size is changed to Normal.
However, you can turn PIPon without changing the picture size for products with no restrictions.
3. In the OSD notation for the picture size, 16:9 is represented as "Wide" instead of "16:9" for devices other than with 16:9 dis
plays.
Ex: For LCD 15:9 devices, "Wide" is displayed on the OSD instead of "16:9".
4. The picture size can be changed even in the blue screen.
However, the picture size should be controlled by the product specifications if the change is impossible due to hardware
restrictions.

using MPEG-2 video compression technology on a CD sized
disc
DRC
This is a sound quality enhancement function that automatically
controls audio output so as to prevent sound quality distortion
even at loud volumes and correct the sound to the speakers so
that you can listen to the sound at the original sound quality.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Port
ADVI interface is a standard for high definition television connectivity. It provides a clear picture on the screen using TMDS
which minimizes video signal loss.
DVI-D Cable
Atype of DVI connector. Using this cable you can only transmit
digital signals.
DVI-I Cable
Atype of DVI connector. Using this cable you can transmit
either digital or analog signals.
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industrysupported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface.
HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source,
such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and an
audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).
HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video,
plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits
all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio,
with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements
and requirements.
PCM
PCM (Pulse Coded Modulation): This refers to an uncompressed digital signal. Use this for an AV amplifier that does not
support 5.1 channels when connecting the audio output via
optical or coaxial cable.
SRS TruSurround XT
This function provides 5.1 channel surround sound using 2
channel speakers when inputting a stereo audio signal.

VESA Plug & Play
This function enables the automatic recognition of devices
when connecting the TV to the computer without additional settings.
S-VIDEO IN Port
This is called super video. S-Video is a type of video signal
which has the video luminance and the color signal separated
in order to provide better visual quality.
VHF/UHF
VHF refers to TV channels 2 to 13, and UHF refers to TV channels 14 to 69.
Pixels, Resolution
The pixels are the number of small dots that make up the TV screen. The resolution represents the number of pixels on a screen.
For example, if the resolution of a TV is 852x480, it means the width of the screen consists of 852 pixel columns and the height of
the screen consists of 480 pixel rows. In this case, the total number of pixels on the screen is 408,960. The more pixels there are,
the higher the visual quality that can be achieved because the picture on the screen is displayed with more pixels and therefore
with more detail.
Gradation, Color Depth
Gradation describes the number of gradual brightness levels. Since all information is represented by binary numbers in a digital
system, the Gradation is determined by the number of bits used to represent the brightness levels of a pixel on the TV screen. For
example, if a pixel is represented by 8 bits, the Gradation is 28 or 256. Since a TV uses the three primary colors of light, R, G and
B, the number of possible colors for a pixel is 256 x 256 x 256, 16,777,216, or 16.7 million colors. If 12 bits are used for a pixel, the
gradation is 212 or 4096 for a color. Since three colors R, G and B are used, 4096 x 4096 x 4096 or 68.7 billion colors are supported per pixel. Since 68.7 billion colors are far more than 16.7 million colors, the picture will be displayed by far more abundant and
natural colors using a 12 bit pixel. That is, since Gradation means the number of brightness levels, color represented by 4096 levels appears more natural than color represented by 256 levels.
Contrast
The contrast is the ratio of brightness of the brightest color to the darkest color. The contrast is calculated by dividing the brightness of the brightest color by the brightness of the darkest color. For example, if the brightness of the darkest color is 1 and the
brightness of the brightest color is 3000, then the Contrast is 3000/1 or 3000. Ahigher contrast means that a dark color is displayed darker and bright color is displayed brighter so that the screen contrast can be easily distinguished. The contrast differs
from the Gradient which means the number of brightness levels.
Therefore, if someone says that a 5000:1 contrast displays a color by 5000 levels, he is confusing Contrast with Gradation.
Brightness
Brightness is the brightness per unit screen area, the unit for brightness is candela (cd). For example, 1000cd/m2 means the
brightness that is measured when 1000 candles are lit within 1 square meters area.

Color Reproductivity
Each color displayed on the TV screen is implemented by a pixel on color coordinates which have an X and Yaxis.
For example, when a pixel on the X coordinate 0.65 and the Y coordinate 0.74 is displayed as a
color and it becomes visible on the TV screen. While the possible color coordinate area is very
wide, the color coordinate area of the signal broadcast from a broadcast station is smaller than
that of possible color coordinates. Moreover, a TV provides a smaller color coordinate area than
that of the signal from the broadcasting station even though the size of the color coordinate area
varies depending on the TV model. In general, Color Reproductivity is used as follows:
The Color reproductivity of a TV is a certain % of NTSC. This means the TV displays that
particular % of the color coordinate area of the NTSC signal broadcast by the broadcasting
station. In general, a CRTTV provides the highest functional color reproductivity.
