◆ Do not expose the PDP to extreme temperature conditions or to extreme humidity conditions.

◆ Do not expose the PDP to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

◆ Do not expose the PDP to any liquids.

◆ Never put objects of any kind into the television, and do not place a water-containing vessel on the

PDP.

◆ During a storm conditions (especially when there is lightning) unplug the PDP from the mains

◆ Do not step on or twist the power cord.

◆ Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

◆ Please use a soft and dry cloth (not containing volatile matter) when you clean the PDP.

◆ If the PDP is broken, do not try to repair it yourself. Contact qualified service personnel.

◆ If the remote control is not used for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store it in a

cool, dry place.

◆ Do not drop the remote control.

◆ When installing a PDP such as for an exhibition, etc., there is risk of overheating the unit if placed

User Instructions

◆ Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP) on the plasma monitor panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.

◆ Cell Defect

The plasma display panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than

99.9 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.

◆ Height

The PDP can normally operate only under 2000m in height. It might abnormally function at a place over 2000m in height and do not install and operate there.

◆ Warranty

- Warranty Period: Two years starting from the purchase of your PDP.

- Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

◆ The speakers MUST have to a power

handling capability of 10 watts minimum (impedance 8Ω).

◆ When you connect the speaker wire to the external speaker out connector, first bind the speaker wire round the ferrite core to secure it.

Ferrite Cores

The ferrite cores are used to attenuate undesired signals. When connecting cables, attach one of these ferrite cores to the cable near the connector.

ENG

Connecting a Satellite Receiver or Decoder

In order to watch television programmes broadcast via a satellite network, you must connect a satellite receiver to the rear of the PDP. Also, in order to descramble a coded transmission signal, you must connect a decoder to the rear of the PDP.

Using a Coaxial cable

Connect a coaxial cable to the:

◆ Receiver (or Decoder) output socket.

◆ Television aerial input socket.

➢

If you wish to connect both a satellite receiver (or decoder) and a VCR, you should connect the:

◆ Receiver (or Decoder) to the VCR

◆ VCR to the PDP

Otherwise, connect the receiver (or decoder) directly to the PDP.

Rear of the PDP

Satellite receiver/

Decoder

To view television channels correctly, a signal must be received by the set from one of the following sources:

◆ An outdoor aerial

◆ A cable television network

◆ A satellite network

1 In the first three cases, connect the aerial or network input cable to

the 75Ω coaxial socket on the rear of the PDP.

2 If you are using an indoor aerial, you may need to turn it when

tuning your PDP until you obtain a picture that is both sharp and clear. For further details, refer to:

◆ “Storing Channels Automatically” on page 20

◆ “Storing Channels Manually” on page 22

➢

When installing or re-installing your PDP, be sure to use the supplied coaxial antenna cable. If you connect using a different coaxial cable, there is risk of noise or interference to the screen image. (You must not use another general purpose cable. Use the 3M/5M/7M cable supplied by Samsung.)
