Important User Information

yScreen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game) including the some small

ﬁxed logo 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,

reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still

image.

yHeat 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.

yCell 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.

yAvoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41°F (5°C)

yA 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.

yAfter-images on the Screen.

Displaying still images from Video games and 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.

yWarranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Securing the Installation Space

Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to

ensure proper ventilation.

Failing to do so may result in ﬁre or a problem with the product due to an increase in

the internal temperature of the product.

✎When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung

Electronics only.

xIf you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem

with the product or an injury due to the product falling.

✎The appearance may differ depending on the product.

✎Be careful when you contact the TV because some parts can be somewhat

hot.

Wall Mount Kit Speciﬁcations (VESA)

Install your wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the ﬂoor. Before

attaching the wall mount to surfaces other than plaster board, please

contact your nearest dealer for additional information. If you install the TV

on a ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe personal injury.

✎NOTE

xStandard dimensions for wall mount kits are shown in the table below.

xSamsung wall mount kits contain a detailed installation manual and all parts

necessary for assembly are provided.

xDo not use screws that do not comply with the VESA standard screw

specifications.

xDo not use screws that are longer than the standard length or do not comply

with the VESA standard screw specifications. Screws that are too long may

cause damage to the inside of the TV set.

xFor wall mounts that do not comply with the VESA standard screw

specifications, the length of the screws may differ depending on the wall

mount specifications.

xDo not fasten the screws too firmly. This may damage the product or cause

Do not install your Wall Mount Kit while

your TV is turned on. It may result in

personal injury due to electric shock.

✎Remove the screws in the mounting holes before you install the wall

mount.

Securing the TV to the Wall

Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing onto the TV may cause the

TV to fall. In particular, ensure that your children do not hang over or

destabilize the TV; doing so may cause the TV to tip over, resulting in

serious injuries or death. Follow all safety precautions provided on the

included Safety Flyer. For added stability, install the anti-fall device for

safety purposes, as follows.

To avoid the TV from falling

✎Since the necessary clamps, screws, and string are not supplied,

please purchase these additionally.

1. Drive the screws into the clamps and ﬁrmly fasten them onto the wall.

Make sure the screws are ﬁrmly ﬁxed into the wall.

2. Remove the screws from the center back of the TV, put the screws into

the clamps, and then fasten the screws onto the TV again.

3. Connect the clamps ﬁxed onto the TV and the clamps ﬁxed onto the

wall with a strong string and then tie the string tightly.

✎Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check

connections for any sign of fatigue for failure. If you have any doubt

about the security of your connections, contact a professional

installer.

✎Install the TV near to the wall so that it does not fall backwards.

✎It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps fixed on the wall

are equal to or lower than the clamps fixed on the TV. Untie the

string before moving the TV.

Kensington Lock

The Kensington Lock is not supplied by Samsung. It is a device used

to physically ﬁx the system when using it in a public place. Refer to the

manual provided with the Kensington Lock for additional information on

yPlease check the volume of the device (Cable/Sat Box, DVD, Blu-ray etc) connected to your TV.

The picture is good but there is no sound. yIf you are using an external device, check the device’s audio output option (ex. you may need to change your cable box’s

audio option to HDMI when you have a HDMI connected to your TV).

yReboot the connected device by reconnecting the device’s power cable.

The speakers are making an inappropriate noise. yCheck the cable connections. Make sure a video cable is not connected to an audio input.

Others

Purple/green rolling horizontal bars and buzzing

noise from the TV speakers with Component cable

connection.

yRemove the left and right audio connections from the set-top-box. If the buzzing stops, this indicates that the set-top-

yBlack bars on Top & Bottom will be shown on movies that have aspect ratios different from your TV.

yAdjust picture size option on your external device or TV to full screen.

Plasma TV is making humming noise. yPlasma TVs typically make a soft humming sound. This is normal. It’s caused by the electrical charges that are used to

create the images on the screen.

yIf the humming sound is loud, you may have set the brightness on the TV too high. Try setting the brightness lower.

yYou can also have loud humming if the back of your Plasma TV is too close to a wall or other hard surface. Also try

rerouting your connection cables.

yImproper installation of wall mount can create excessive noise.

Image Retention (Burn In) Issue. yTo minimize the possibility of screen burn, this unit is equipped with Pixel Shift screen burn reduction technology. Pixel

Shift lets you set the picture so it moves slightly up and down (Vertical Line) and side to side (Horizontal Dot). The
