Important Warranty Information Regarding
Television Format Viewing

✎

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

Wide screen format PDP Displays (with 16:9 aspect ratios, the 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 fill the screen if your model offers this

feature, with the images constantly in motion. Displaying stationary graphics

and images on the screen, such as the dark sidebars on non-expanded

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

crawls, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and

patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying

stationary images for more than 5% of total viewing time can cause uneven

aging of your PDP display and 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 of television formats you use for viewing and the

amount of time you view them. 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.

Important User Information
• Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as that from a video game) on the plasma

display panel for more than a few minutes. Still images can cause screen

image retention (burn in). To avoid such image retention, 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 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 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

changes 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 or a 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.

• 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.

■

Size: Set the size and aspect ratio of the picture on the screen.
Your cable box or satellite receiver may have its own set of

fits the entire screen.
4:3: Sets the picture to the old, 4:3 format and puts black or gray

borders on the right and left of the picture.

✎

Do not watch your TV in the 4:3 format for a long time.

Traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of

the screen may cause image retention (screen burn) which

is not covered by the warranty.

Screen Fit: Displays the full image without any cut-off when

your TV is inputting HDMI (720p / 1080i / 1080p) or Component

(1080i / 1080p) HD signals.
