Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference only and may differ from actual product

Digital TV notice

1. Functionalities related to Digital TV (DVB) are only available in countries/areas where DVB-T (MPEG2 and MPEG4 AVC) digital terrestrial signals are

broadcasted or where you are able to access to a compatible DVB-C (MPEG2 and MPEG4 AAC) cable-TV service. Please check with your local

dealer the possibility to receive DVB-T or DVB-C signal.

2. DVB-T is the DVB European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television and DVB-C is that for the broadcast

transmission of digital TV over cable. However, some differentiated features like EPG (Electric Programme Guide), VOD (Video On Demand) and so

on, are not included in this speciﬁcation. So, they cannot be workable at this moment.

3. Although this TV set meets the latest DVB-T and DVB-C standards, as of [August, 2008], the compatibility with future DVB-T digital terrestrial and

DVB-C digital cable broadcasts cannot be guaranteed.

4. Depending on the countries/areas where this TV set is used some cable-TV providers may charge an additional fee for such a service and you may

be required to agree to terms and conditions of their business.

5. Some Digital TV functions might be unavailable in some countries or regions and DVB-C might not work correctly with some cable service providers.

6. For more information, please contact your local Samsung customer care centre.

✎

The reception quality of TV may be affected due to differences in broadcasting method between the countries. Please check the TV

performance in the local SAMSUNG Authorized Dealer, or the Samsung Call Centre whether it can be improved by reconﬁguring TV setting or

not.

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, 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.

• Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

✎

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 Programmes 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.
