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. DNIeTM 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.

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.
