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, 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 product.
• 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
The PDP uses a panel consisting of 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 centre 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 and 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.

• Black bars on the top and bottom will appear during movies that have aspect ratios
different from your TV.
• Adjust the picture size options on your external device or TV to full screen.
• Plasma TVs typically make a soft humming sound. This is normal. It’s caused by the
electrical charges that are used to create the images on the screen.
• If the humming sound is loud, you may have set the brightness on the TV too high.
Try setting the brightness lower.
• You can also have loud humming if the back of your Plasma TV is too close to a wall
or other hard surface. Also try rerouting your connection cables.
• Improper installation of wall mount can create excessive noise.
• To minimize the possibility of screen burn, this unit is equipped with Pixel Shift screen
burn reduction technology. Pixel Shift lets you set the picture so it moves slightly
up and down (Vertical Line) and side to side (Horizontal Dot). The regular, slight
movement of the picture reduces screen burn in.

✎ You can keep your TV in optimum operating condition by upgrading to the latest firmware (www.samsung.com →
support) by USB.
• This function is only available with digital channels from an Aerial / RF / Coax
connection.
• Remove the stand base from the TV and reassemble it.
• Make sure the TV is placed on a flat surface. If you can not remove the screws from
the TV, please use a magnetized screw driver.
• The Broadcasting menu is only available when the TV source is selected.
• If the TV is in the Store Demo mode, it will reset audio and picture settings every 30
minutes. If you want to change the settings from Store Demo mode to Home Use,
press the SOURCE button to select TV mode, and go to MENU→Support→Use Mode.
• Check the cable connections and reconnect them.
• Loss of audio or video can be caused by using overly rigid or thick cables. Make sure
the cables are flexible enough for long term use. If mounting the TV to the wall, we
recommend using cables with 90 degree connectors.
• This is part of the product’s design and is not a defect.
• PIP functionality is only available when you are using a HDMI or components source.
• It is normal. The TV operates the OTA (Over The Aerial) function itself to upgrade
firmware downloaded whilst your watching TV.
• If you are using a CAM CARD (CI/CI+), check that it is installed into the common
interface slot.
• If there is still a problem, pull the CAM CARD out of the TV and insert it into the slot
again.
• Check and change the signal/source.
• To prevent this, use felt pads on any surface of the TV that comes in direct contact
with furniture.
• This may appear because of high bit rate of content. Content generally will play but
could experience some playability issue.

✎ WARNINGS: Image retention, commonly known as screen burn-in, can occur on most types of television if
the same image is displayed continuously. The most common causes of image retention are logos that remain
stationary on the TV screen. These logos are common on many programmes received via a Set-top Box. To
reduce this risk, avoid displaying still images for long durations and lower the brightness or contrast settings to
decrease the intensity of the picture. Extended viewing of movies and programs in aspect ratios that are different
from the aspect ratio of the TV may cause image retention. Always endeavour to avoid black borders top or
bottom by using the zoom function. This will help eliminate the black borders and fit the picture to the entire area
of the screen. Using a video game console may cause image retention and is not recommended. When using
a PC input, avoid displaying still images for long durations and reduce the brightness or contrast settings to
decrease the intensity of the picture.
✎ IMPORTANT: Image retention issues are not covered by your Samsung® warranty.

Wiring the Mains Power Supply Plug (UK Only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is
indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BSI1362 of the same rating
must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required,
it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach
a power point, you should obtain a suitably approved extension lead or consult your de aler for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative but to cut off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug.
Do NOT connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows : The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE
or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured
BROWN or RED.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL, WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE
LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.
