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.  
Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference  
only and may differ from actual product appearance. Product design and  
specifications may be changed without notice.  
The TV is making a ‘cracking’ noise.  
A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the TV contracts or expands due

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.

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.

Troubleshooting  
If the TV seems to have a problem, first review this list of possible problems and solutions. If none of these troubleshooting tips apply, visit  
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 televisions 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.

Problem  
Possible Solution  
No Caption on digital channels.  
• Check the Caption Setup menu. Try changing Caption Mode Service 1 to CC1.  
• Some channels may not have caption data.  
The picture is distorted: macroblock,  
error, small block, dots, pixelization.  
• Compression of video contents may cause picture distortion, especially on fast moving pictures such as those in  
sports and action movies.  
• A weak signal can cause picture distortion. This is not a TV problem.  
Others  
Purple/green rolling horizontal bars and  
buzzing noise from the TV speakers with  
Component cable connection.  
• Remove the left and right audio connections from the set-top-box. If the buzzing stops, this indicates that the set-  
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. Its 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.  
• An improperly installed of wall mount can also create excessive noise.  
The picture will not display in full screen. • HD channels will have black bars on either side of the screen when displaying up scaled SD (4:3) contents.

TV.  
• Adjust the picture size option on your external device or change the TV to full screen.  
Image Retention (Burn In) Issue.  
The remote control does not work.  
To 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 regular, slight movement of the picture reduces screen burn in.  
• Replace the remote control's batteries. Make sure you insert them with the polarity (+/–) correct .  
• Clean the transmission window located on the top of the remote control.  
Try pointing the remote directly at the TV from 5~6 feet away.

resolution settings in this manual.  
Caption on the TV menu is greyed out.  
You cannot select Caption in the TV menu when watching content from a device connected via HDMI or  
Component.
