i ImportantWarrantyinformationRegardingTelevisionFormatViewing i
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 flit 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 Iogos,
web sites or computer graphics and patterns, shoutd be limited as described above for atl 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.

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 32 of this manua! to reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a stitt image.
ARitude
The PDP can only operate normalty at heights under 6500ft.
Heat on the top of the Plasma TV
The top side of the product may be hot after tong periods of use as heat dissipates from the panet 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, chitdren 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 achange of surrounding environment such as
temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the unit.
Ceil Defects
The PDP uses a panel consisting of 1,230,000(SD-leveI) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixelswhich require sophisticated
technology to produce. However, there may be afew bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels witl 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 teave 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 stitl images for a tong time.
@ Warranty
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Bum=inis not covered by the warranty.

If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see "Antennas with 300 {3 Flat
Twin Leads" below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see "Antennas with 75 {3 Round
Leads".
if you have two antennas, see "Separate VHF and UHF Antennas".
Antennas with 300 {3 Fiat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or "rabbit ears") that
has 300 {3 twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
1 Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 _ adapter (not

_l HDMI Cable {Not supptied)
What is HDMI?
•HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is an interface that enables the
transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.
• The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and
has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
Each DVD Player or Cable Box /Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different
back panel configuration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color
when DVD Player or Cable Box/Satellite receivers supporting HDMI versions
older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there
is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2 jack and the audio cables

•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.

component such as a DVD and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 channel
sound witt be heard from the Home Theater receiver.
