Important Warranty Information 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 logos,
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 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, refer to page 25 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 normally at heights under 6500ft.
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 center 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.

Connections
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see “Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin
Leads” below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see “Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads”.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate VHF and UHF Antennas”.

❑ Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or rabbit ears) that has 300 Ω
twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 Ω adapter (not supplied).
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2. Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

❑ Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must
combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This
procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
1. Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
2. Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

❑ Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You
will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of Antenna cable. (These items are available at most
electronics stores.)
1. Find and disconnect the cable that is

N What is HDMI?

• HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals
using a single cable.
• The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital
Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
N Each DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration.
N The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD / Blu-Ray Player or Cable Box /
Satellite receiver supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no
sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2(DVI) jack and the audio cables to the DVI AUDIO IN [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the
back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-Ray���������������������������������������������
Player or Cable Box / Satellite�������������
receiver to
confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
N HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.

Connecting a DVD /Blu-Ray Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver
(Set-Top Box) via DVI
This connection can only be made if there is a DVI Output jack on the external device.
1. Connect a HDMI/DVI Cable or DVI-HDMI Adapter between the HDMI IN 2(DVI) jack on the TV and the DVI jack on the DVD / BluRay Player or Cable Box/Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box).

Occasionally, you may want to change the size of the image on your screen. Your TV
comes with six screen size options, each designed to work best with specific types
of video input. Your satellite receiver may have its own set of screen sizes as well. In
general, though, you should view the TV in 16:9 mode as much as possible.
• 16:9 : Sets the picture to the 16:9 aspect ratio.
• Zoom1: Stretches the 16:9 aspect ratio picture vertically.
• Zoom2: Stretches the Zoom 1 picture vertically.
• Wide Fit: Stretches the picture both horizontally and vertically to display the optimal
picture.
• 4:3: Sets the picture to the 4:3 aspect ratio.
• Screen Fit: Displays the full native HD signal that cannot be viewed using a normal TV.
O Alternately, you can press the P.SIZE button on the remote control repeatedly to
change the picture size.

appear.
4. Navigate to the Settings tab on the display dialog-box. The correct size setting (resolution)
Optimum : 1920 X 1080 pixels. If a vertical frequency option exists on your display settings
dialog box, the correct value is 60 or 60 Hz. Otherwise, just click OK and exit the dialog box.

Display Modes
If the signal from the system equals the standard signal mode, the screen is adjusted automatically. If the signal from the system

Signal Strength (Digital)
Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from snowy to clear, digital
(HDTV) channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at all.
So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however,
adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.
N If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your
antenna to increase the signal strength. Continue to adjust the antenna until you find
the best position with the strongest signal.
