Thank You for Choosing Samsung!

Thank you for choosing Samsung! Your new Samsung product represents the latest in PDP

technology. We designed it with easy-to-use on-screen menus, making it one of the best

products in its class. We are proud to offer you a product that will provide convenient,

dependable service and enjoyment for years to come.

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.

DNIeTM(Digital Natural Image engine)

This feature bring you more detailed image with 3D noise reduction, detail enhancement, contrast
enhancement and white enhancement. New image compensation Algorithm gives brighter, clearer,
much detailed image to you. DNIe

technology will fit every signals into your eyes.

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.

➢

The PPM42H3 model uses the same MDC program CD used for PPM50H3/PPM63H3 models.

☛

This wall mount bracket installation guide is for the WMN4230 model. This installation guide may be
different from the PDP User’s manual. Please refer to the proper installation guide for your product.

Installation Notes

◆

Do not install the PDP on any place other than vertical walls.

◆

To protect the performance of the PDP and prevent troubles, avoid the followings:

-

Do not install next to smoke and fire detectors.

-

Do not install in an area subjected to vibration or high voltage.

-

Do not install near or around any heating apparatus.

◆

Use only recommended parts and components.

◆

Do not install the PDP vertically.

ENG

Installing the Display on the Wall Attachment Panel

1 Remove the screws from the back of the PDP.

2 Use the screws and assemble the plastic hanger.

☛

◆ Please ask the installers to install the wall mount bracket.

◆ Please be sure to check if the plastic hanger is completely secured on both the left and right

side after hanging the PDP on the wall mount bracket.

◆ Please avoid catching your fingers while installing and adjusting the angle.

◆ Please tightly secure the wall mount bracket to the wall to avoid injury from a falling PDP.

3 Tighten the screws of the plastic hanger to the back side of the PDP.

4 Put the 4 pegs on the PDP in the grooves of the wall mount bracket and pull down on the PDP (!) to

secure it to the wall mount bracket (

@). Tighten the screws as shown (#) so that the PDP cannot be

separated from wall mount bracket.

Before Using the Video Wall and the Multiple Display Contol function

1 Please create ID for each PDP before installing them close together. It may be difficult to create IDs when

operating the remote control for PDPs that are installed close to each other.

2 Press the MDC button on the remote control. Select ID input on the menu. Use the numeric buttons to

enter the ID for PDP adjustment. You can operate the remote control only for the PDP that has been
selected.

➢

◆ For details about Video Wall configuration and operation, refer to “Setting the Multiple

Screen” on page 27.

◆ For details about Multiple Display Control, refer to “Setting the MDC (Multiple Display
C

ontrol)” on page 25 and the Help section in MDC program CD.

◆ The PPM42H3 model uses the same MDC program CD used for PPM50H3/PPM63H3
models.

➢

Do not install the PDP vertically.

Connecting Speakers

1 Remove the screws on the rear of the PDP.

2 Hang the two “T” shaped hangers on the square holes on the rear of the PDP.

3 Tighten the PDP and the speaker bracket using the screws removed from the PDP.

➢

When moving your PDP, do NOT hold the speaker connected to your PDP. It may damage the
bracket clamping the speaker and your PDP together and result in a drop of your PDP and a risk of
personal damage and injury.

ENG

Connecting Speakers (continued)

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.

Connect the speaker audio cable to the external speaker output jack on the rear of the PDP matching
the “+” and “

-

” ends of the cable with the diagram on the PDP.

➢

◆ 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.
