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.
• 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 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.

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.

• 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.
