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.
➢See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

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 23 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 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-level) to 3,150,000(HD-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 5°C (41°F)
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.

unscrambled cable channels.
1 Find 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 IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
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
connected to the ANT IN terminal on your
cable box.
➢This terminal might be labeled “ANT
IN”, “VHF IN” or simply, “IN”.
2 Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3 Connect an Antenna cable between an
OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN
terminal on the cable box.
4 Connect an Antenna cable between the
ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the
B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
5 Connect another cable between the other
OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN
terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6 Connect the last Antenna cable between
the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch
and the ANT IN terminal on the rear of the
TV.
After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B”
position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B”, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s

Connecting a Digital Audio System
The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a Digital Audio System(Home theater/Receiver) to your
TV.
1 Connect an Optical Cable
between the DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT (OPTICAL) jacks on
the TV and the Digital Audio
Input (OPTICAL) jacks on the
Digital Audio System.
When a Digital Audio System
is connected to the “DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)”
jack:
Decrease the volume of the
TV, and adjust the volume
level with the system’s
volume control.
What is OPTICAL?
• An optical cable converts an electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits
it through glass fibers. S/PDIF is a transmission system of digital audio in the form of
a light wave that uses a glass conductor.
➢5.1CH audio is possible when the TV is connected to an external device
supporting 5.1CH.
➢Each Digital Audio System has a different back panel configuration.
➢When the receiver (home theater) is set to On, you can hear sound output from
the TV’s Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a DTV(air) signal, the TV will send
out 5.1 channel sound to the Home theater receiver. When the source is a digital
component such as a DVD and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 channel
sound will be heard from the Home Theater receiver.
If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
(OPTICAL) jack on the DVD player or Cable/Satellite Box directly to an Amplifier or
Home Theater, not the TV.
