Important Warranty Information Regarding PDP 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
constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on
non-expanded standard format PDP video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of
the total PDP 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
PDP displays.

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 PDP 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 or when hooking up a PC to this PDP) on the
plasma display 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 does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

◆ Auto Volume

Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions,
and so it is not easy for you to adjust the volume every
time the channel is changed. This feature lets you
automatically adjust the volume of the desired channel by
lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is
high or by raising the sound output when the modulation
signal is low.

◆ Melody

You can hear clear melody sound when the PDP is
powered on or off.

◆ Pseudo Stereo / Virtual Surround

Pseudo stereo feature converts a monaural sound
signal into two identical left and right channels.
Once the

Pseudo stereo or Virtual surround is set

to

On or Off, these settings apply to the sound effects

such as

Standard, Music, Movie, and Speech.

Setting up Your PC Software (Windows only)

The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. But the actual screens on your
PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular
video card. But even if your actual screens look different, the same, basic set-up information will apply
in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)

On the windows screen, select in the following
sequence:

Start ➞ Settings ➞ Control Panel.

When the control panel screen appears, click on
Display and a display dialog-box will appear.

Select the Settings tab in the display dialog-box.

The two key variables that apply the PDP-PC interface
are “Resolution” and “Colours”.
The correct settings for these two variables are:

◆ Size (sometimes called “Resolution”)

-

640 x 480 pixels

◆ Colour

24-bit colour (might also be expressed as “16
million colours”)
Shown at left is a typical screen for “Display” dialog
box.

If a vertical-frequency option exists on your display
settings dialog box, the correct value is

60 Hz.

Otherwise, just click

OK and exit the dialog box.
