Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference only and may differ from actual product appearance.
Product design and specifications may be changed without notice.
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 15 of this manual to reduce the degree of
brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
• 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 in the 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 2,360,000(HD-level) to 6,221,000(FHD-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 41°F (5°C)
• 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.
Securing the Installation Space
Keep the required distance between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation.
Failing to do so may result in fire or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.
✎
When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.
x
If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.
✎
The appearance may differ depending on the product.

Connecting to an AV Device
Using an HDMI or HDMI/DVI cable: HD connection (up to 720p/1080i)
Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, HD cable box, HD STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver.
✎ HDMI IN 1(DVI), 2, 3, PC/DVI AUDIO IN
x
When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray
player, HD cable box, or HD STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI
(DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio.
x
If an external device such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / HD cable box / HD STB satellite receiver supporting
HDMI versions older than 1.3 is connected, the TV may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display / no sound
/ annoying flicker / abnormal color).
x
If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you
suspect the version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HDMI version and
request an upgrade.
x
It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certified cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a
connection error may occur.
Using a Component (up to 720p/1080i) or Audio/Video (480i only) Cable
Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, cable box, STB satellite receiver, VCR
✎ When connecting to AV IN 1 the color of the AV IN 1 [Y/VIDEO] jack (green) will not match the video cable
(yellow).
✎ To obtain the best picture quality, the Component connection is recomended over the A/V connection.

Available devices: Digital Audio System, Amplifier, DVD home theater
✎ DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)
x
When a Digital Audio System is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume
of both the TV and the system.
x
5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.
x
When the receiver (amplifier or DVD home theater) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s
optical jack. When the TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the amplifier or DVD
home theater. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB
(Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the
amplifier or DVD home theater. If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your
DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.
✎ AUDIO OUT: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier / DVD home theater.
x
When connecting, use the appropriate connector.
