I ImportantWarrantyInformationRegardingTelevisionFormatViewing
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 timited 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.

iUser instructions
O 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 26 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 PDP TV
The top side of the product may be hot after tong 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 of 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 1,230,000(SD-levet) to 3,150,000(HDqevel) pixels which require sophisticated
technology to produce. However, there may be a few bright or dark pixets on the screen. These pixels will have no impact
on the performance of the product.
Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 5°0 (41°F}
Astill image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.
Watching the PDP TV in 4:3 format for a tong 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.
Afterimage 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 tong time.
Warranty
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

i Connections
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see "Antennas with 300 Q Flat Twin
Leads" below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see "Antennas with 75 Q Round Leads".
If you have two antennas, see "Separate VHF and UHF Antennas".
Antennas with 300 Q Fiat Twin Leads
if you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or "rabbit ears") that has 300 Q
twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
1 Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 _ adapter (not supplied).
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2 Plug the adaptor into the ANT 1 IN (AIR) orANT 2 IN (CABLE) terminai on the back of the TV.

1 PlugtheantennaleadintotheANT1IN(AIR)orANT2 IN(CABLE)terminalonthebackoftheTV
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 leadsto the combiner.
2 Plug the combiner into theANT 1 IN (AIR) or ANT 2 IN (CABLE) terminal on the bottom of the
back panel.

Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cable without a Cable Box
1Plug the incoming cable into the ANT 2 IN(CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.
_-- Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need acable box to view
unscrambled cable channels.
to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
1Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.
_-- This terminal might be labeled "ANT OUT", "VHF OUT" or simply, "OUT".
2 Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT 2 IN(CABLE) terminal on the back of
the TV.
to aCable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below.
You will need atwo-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
connected to the ANT IN terminat on your
cable box.
This terminal might be tabeled 'ANT IN_',
'VHF IN" or simply, "IN".
2 Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
Connect an Antenna cable between an
OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN
terminal on the cable box.
Connect an Antenna cable between the
ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the
B-IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
Connect another cable between the other
OUT terminal on the splitter and the A-IN
terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
Connect the last Antenna cable between
the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch
and the ANT 2 IN (CABLE) terminal on the
rear of the TV.
