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.
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.
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.
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

STATEMENT
Subject to the requirements, conditions, exclusions and limitations of the original
Limited Warranty supplied with Samsung Electronics (SAMSUNG) products,

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

• 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.

samsung.com, then click on Support, or call Samsung customer service at 1-800-SAMSUNG.
Problem
Possible Solution
Flickering and Dimming
If your Samsung Television is flickering or dimming sporadically, you may need to disable some of its energy efficient
features like the Eco Sensor or the Energy Saving feature. Follow the steps below with your remote to turn these
features off or on.
y Energy saving : Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → Energy Saving →Select Settings
y Eco Sensor : Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → Eco Sensor →Select Settings
Component Connections /
Screen Color
If you find that the color on your Samsung television’s screen is not correct or black and white, first run a Self
Diagnosis Test on the TV to make sure there are no device issues.
y Self Diagnosis : User Menu → Support → Self Diagnosis → Picture Test
y If the test is ok, try making sure ;
y Your connections are all consistent. For example, if you’ve used the AV In jack on your TV, make sure you have
used the AV Out jack on your video source.
y Try making sure you have connected to the correct jacks. For example, if you use the Component jacks, labeled
Pb, Pr, and Y, to connect your TV and video source, make sure you have connected the blue Pb jack on the
video source to the blue Pb jack on the TV, the red Pr jack on the source to the red Pr jack on the TV.
Screen Brightness
If you find that the colors on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright, there are some settings
you should check before calling for a repair.
y Backlight, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, Tint and so on. Go to “Picture” in the Menu, and then try
adjusting these options.
Unwanted Powering off
If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, there may be an issue with either your Timer settings or your Eco
friendly No Signal Power Off feature.
First make sure the Sleep Timer is not accidentally set. The Sleep Timer lets you fall asleep with the TV still on
knowing that it will turn off after a certain period of time and not waste energy.
y Sleep Timer : User Menu → Setup → Time → Sleep Timer
If the Sleep Timer is not activated, you may have engaged the No Signal Power Off or Auto Power Off feature.
y No Signal Power Off : User Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → No Signal Power
y Auto Power Off : User Menu → Setup → Eco Solution → Auto Power Off
Trouble Powering On
Before you turn the TV on, find the red light on the right or left bottom of your TV. Press the power on button
on the TV or remote and the light should blink about 5 times before the TV turns on.
If you find that you are having trouble powering on your Samsung television, there are a number of things to check it
before making a call to the service department.
y If you happen to be using the TV as a monitor and the stand-by light only blinks for a few seconds when you
press the power button, your PC is in sleep mode. To take your PC out of sleep mode, press a key on your
keyboard or move the mouse. Then try turning your TV on.
If you’re sure your power cord, remote control, and PC are functioning properly, you may be having a cable issue. If
you have a cable or satellite box, your TV may appear to be off because the cable or satellite box is not outputting a
signal. To test the signal output of your cable or satellite box, press the guide or info button on the cable or satellite
box remote control. If the screen displays the guide or info data, the problem is caused by the box.

top-box has a grounding issue. Replace the Component video cables with an HDMI connection.
Plasma TV is making humming noise.
• Plasma 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.
• If the humming sound is loud, you may have set the brightness on the TV too high. Try setting the brightness
lower.
• You can also have loud humming if the back of your Plasma TV is too close to a wall or other hard surface. Move
the TV away from the wall. Also, try rerouting your connection cables.
