Important
WarrantyInformation
Regarding
Television
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 the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as
the dark side-bars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be
limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game
displays, station Iogos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described
above for all televisions. 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 television 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 Instrucfions
@ ScreenImageretention
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, refer to page 53 of this manual to reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

@ Altitude
The PDP can only operate normal]y at heights under 65OOft.

@ Heatonthetopof thePDPTV
The top side of the product may be hot after Iongperiods 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.

@ Theproductis makinga 'cracking'noise.
A 'cracking' noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change of
surrounding environment such as temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the
unit.

@ CellDefects
The PDP uses a panel consisting of 1,230,O00(SD-level) to 3,150,OO0(HD-leve]) 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.

@ Avoidoperatingthe TV at temperaturesbelow 5°C (41°F)
@ A stillimagedisplayedtoolongmay causepermanent
damageto thePDPPanel.
Watching the PDPTV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave
traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused
by the difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effect to the screen.
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

@ AfterimageontheScreen.
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.
