Important User Information
•
Screen Image retention
Avoid displaying a still image, such as an image from a video game or a small fixed channel logo, on the plasma
display panel for more than a few minutes as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is also known
as “screen burn”.
If displaying a still image is unavoidable, decrease the possibility of image retention by reducing the brightness and
contrast of the screen.
•
Heat on the top of the Plasma TV
The top side of the TV may become hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent
hole in the upper part of the TV.
This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operational failure of the unit. However, children should be
prevented from touching the upper part of the TV.
•
The TV is making a ‘cracking’ noise.
A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the TV contracts or expands due to a change in the surrounding environment
such as temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect.
•
Cell Defects
Your plasma TV has a panel containing 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 the borders on the
left, right, top, or bottom of the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may have a similar effect.
Damage caused by the above effect is not covered by the warranty.
•
After-images on the Screen.
Displaying still images from Video games and PC's 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.
•
Caution
The glass screen of your PDP TV can break if you accidently drop the TV. Handle the TV with care.
When moving the TV, always have two or more people pick it up and carry it as a safety precaution.
Do not lay the TV flat on its face or back.
Your Samsung Plasma TV is a high quality television that has been carefully packaged to protect the integrity of
its glass panel and component parts during shipment. It is, nonetheless, a fragile piece of electronics that requires
careful handling. Refrain from putting undue stress on any part of the packaging when shipping or unpacking the
TV. Use care when installing the TV. Avoid placing the TV in a location where it may be struck, exposed to sharp
impacts, or fall. Panel breakage caused by a fall or impact strike is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
