    							Important Warranty Information
    Regarding Television Format Viewing
    2
    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 fill 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 logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described
    above for all 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.

    							User Instructions 
    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 53 of this manual to reduce the 
    degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
    Altitude
    The PDP will not operate normally at altitudes above 6500 ft.
    Heat on the top of the PDP TV
    The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel
    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, children 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 a change of 
    surrounding environment such as temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the
    unit.
    Cell Defects
    The PDP uses a panel consisting of 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixels which
    require sophisticated technology to produce. However, there may be 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 5°C(41°F)
    A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.
    Watching the PDP TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave
    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 effect to the screen.  
    Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
    Afterimage on the Screen.
    Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may 
    produce partial afterimages.
    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.
    Installation
    Be sure to contact an authorized service center when installing your set in a location with heavy
    dust, high or low temperatures, high humidity, and chemical substances, or where it will be
    operated for 24 hours continuously such as an airport, train station, etc.
    Failure to do so may cause serious damage to your set.

    							CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs
    4
    CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs are the products of a new digital cable standard. 
    This new standard is called OpenCable and it is a concerted effort to standardize the digital cable 
    service network interface in North America. For more information, please refer to www.cablelabs.com.
    Digital Cable Ready TVs are equipped with a proper digital cable tuner to receive digital cable signals
    from your local cable service provider. They are also designed to work with digital CableCARD 
    modules (PCMCIA card modules called CableCARDs). These PCMCIA card modules or CableCARDs
    will be provided by your local cable service provider after a proper subscription process.
    The provided CableCARD from your local cable service provider needs to be inserted into the 
    CableCARD slot of a Digital Cable Ready TV. Please refer to page 25 for how to insert the 
    CableCARD.
    A digital set-top box which used to be provided by the cable service provider is no longer needed 
    with Digital Cable Ready TVs and CableCARDs.
    When the CableCARD is inserted into the slot, the TV screen will show a message that CableCARD
    is inserted and necessary data such as channel information or subscription information will be 
    downloaded from your digital cable service provider. When you insert CableCARD for the first time,
    this process may take few minutes depending on the amount of data your cable provider needs to send.
    During this process, the digital cable service provider or CableCARD may display messages
    on the TV screen to help or give you further information. 
    Please contact your local cable provider for more information on service availability and how to
    acquire a CableCARD.
    Notes
    •This television receiver supports the copy protection system regulated by DTLA (Digital Transmission
    Licensing Administrator). It should be noted that copy protected content may not be viewable
    depending on your particular connections.
    •Some channels may be scrambled depending on your cable service provider.
    When you tune to these channels, no screen or a still screen may appear. In order to view the
    screen properly, you have to go through a subscription process after contacting your service
    provider. It will take several minutes to update the channel information depending on your cable 
    service provider.

    1. Is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?
    Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and works well with
    many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channel assignments are different than analog
    channels. You should find out whether your local DTV broadcasts are on VHF (channels 2-13) or UHF
    (channels 14-69) to see if you need a different antenna.
    If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already get good UHF reception, your present antenna may
    work fine. The same holds true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some markets, both VHF and UHF
    channels are used for DTV broadcasts.
    You can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected Internet web
    sites such as www.titantv.com, www.10000watts.com, and www.fcc.gov.
    2. How difficult is it to receive DTV signals indoors?
    This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and how close your
    location is to the transmission tower. DTV receivers do not require as much signal as analog TV
    receivers to produce high-quality images and sound. 
    Once the DTV signal level exceeds a certain threshold at the receiver, the digital video and audio data
    is decoded at the same quality it was originally encoded for broadcast. This is a big advantage for
    DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting, static, or scratchy audio.
    3. How can I connect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative apartment, condominium, or 
    apartment?
    The Federal Communications Commissions OTARD Rule (part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996)
    allows residents of condominiums, townhouse, or members of neighborhood associations to put up
    outside antennas for reception of broadcast TV signals as long as those antennas are not located in
    common areas and are no more than 12 in height. 
    Residents of rental units (apartments, etc.) are not covered by the OTARD rules and will have to use
    indoor antennas to receive DTV broadcasts. It is possible that the landlord of an apartment complex
    can provide broadcast DTV signals via a master TV antenna system to each apartment.
    4. Can I connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service?
    Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently
    incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will still need to use an outdoor or indoor
    antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs.
    The good news is that you wont have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and
    HDTV programs. Theyre free, unlike subscription satellite TV or premium cable TV. All you need is an
    antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy clear, sharp widescreen images and high-quality audio.
