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 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 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 long time.
Warranty
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

3 Close the cover as shown in the figure.
➢
Remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place if you won’t be using the
remote control for a long time. The remote control can be used up to about 23 feet
(7m) from the TV. (Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries last for about one year.)
➢If the remote control doesn’t work, check the following:
1. Is the TV power on?
2. Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?
3. Are the batteries drained?
4. Is there a power cut, or is the power cord unplugged?
5. Is there a special fluorescent light or a neon sign nearby?

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
output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

Memorizing the Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (air) and cable channels. After the
available channels are memorized, use the CH or CH button to scan through the channels. This eliminates
the need to change channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels:
selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (Channel
Manager).
Selecting the Video Signal-source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must
specify the type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e. an Air or a Cable
system).
1 Press the MENU button to display the menu.
Pressthe▲or▼buttontoselectChannel, then press the ENTER button.
2 Press the ENTER button select Air/Cable.
Pressthe▲or▼toselectAir, STD, HRC, and IRC, then press the ENTER
button.
➢STD, HRC, and IRC identify various types of cable TV systems. Contact your
local cable company to identify the type of cable system that exists in your
particular area. At this point the signal source has been selected.
Press the EXIT button to exit.
