A detailed User’s Manual is built into your TV. For more information about how to view this e-Manual, see page 10.

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.
Providing Proper Ventilation for Your TV
When you install your TV, maintain a distance of at least 4 inches between the TV and other objects (walls, cabinet sides, etc.) to ensure
proper ventilation. Failing to maintain proper ventilation may result in a fire or a problem with the product caused by an increase in its
internal temperature.
✎
Whether you install your TV using a stand or a wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may cause difficulties with the product or result in injury caused by the
product falling.
