◆Please use a soft and dry cloth (not containing volatile matter) when you clean the PDP.
◆If the PDP is broken, do not try to repair it yourself. Contact qualified service personnel.
◆If the remote control is not used for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store it in a
cool, dry place.
◆Do not drop the remote control.

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 monitor 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 Period: Two years starting from the purchase of your PDP.
-Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
-Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Connecting a Satellite Receiver or Decoder
In order to watch television programmes broadcast via a satellite
network, you must connect a satellite receiver to the rear of the
PDP. Also, in order to descramble a coded transmission signal, you
must connect a decoder to the rear of the PDP.
Using a Coaxial cable
Connect a coaxial cable to the:
◆Receiver (or Decoder) output socket.
◆Television aerial input socket.
➢If you wish to connect both a satellite receiver (or decoder)
and a VCR, you should connect the:
◆Receiver (or Decoder) to the VCR
◆VCR to the PDP
Otherwise, connect the receiver (or decoder) directly to the
PDP.
Rear of the PDP
Satellite receiver/
Decoder
To view television channels correctly, a signal must be received by
the set from one of the following sources:
◆An outdoor aerial
◆A cable television network
◆A satellite network
1In the first three cases, connect the aerial or network input cable to
the 75Ωcoaxial socket on the rear of the PDP.
2If you are using an indoor aerial, you may need to turn it when
tuning your PDP until you obtain a picture that is both sharp and
clear.
For further details, refer to:
◆“Storing Channels Automatically” on page 20
◆“Storing Channels Manually” on page 22
➢When installing or re-installing your PDP, be sure to use the
supplied coaxial antenna cable. If you connect using a different
coaxial cable, there is risk of noise or interference to the screen
image. (You must not use another general purpose cable.
Use the 3M/5M/7M cable supplied by Samsung.)
