Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

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 sidebars on no expanded 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 15 of this manual to 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 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 in the 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 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^ (5^)

  • A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.

SAMSUNG PN50C6400 - User Instructions - 1

Watching the Plasma 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 effects to the screen.

Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

After-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.

Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Connecting to an AV Device

Using an HDMI or HDMI/DVI Cable: HD connection (up to 1080p)

We recommend using the HDMI connection for the best quality HD picture.

Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, HD cable box, HD STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver

SAMSUNG PN50C6400 - Using an HDMI or HDMI/DVI Cable: HD connection (up to 1080p) - 1

HDMI IN 1(DVI), 2, 3, 4, PC/DVI AUDIO IN

  • When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray player, HD cable box, or HD STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio.
  • If an external device such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / HD cable box / HD STB satellite receiver supporting HDMI version older than 1.3 is connected, the TV may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display / no sound / annoying flicker / abnormal color).
  • If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you suspect the version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HDMI version and request an upgrade.
  • It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certified cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a connection error may occur.

Using a Component (up to 1080p) or Audio/Video (480i only) Cable

Available devices: DVD, Blu-ray player, cable box, STB satellite receiver, VCR

SAMSUNG PN50C6400 - Using a Component (up to 1080p) or Audio/Video (480i only) Cable - 1

When connecting to AV IN, the color of the AV IN [Y/VIDEO] jack (green) will not match the video cable (yellow).
For better picture quality, the Component connection is recommended over the A/V connection.

Using an Optical (Digital) or Audio (Analog) Cable Connection

Available devices: Digital Audio System, Amplifier, DVD home theater

SAMSUNG PN50C6400 - Using an Optical (Digital) or Audio (Analog) Cable Connection - 1

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)

  • When a Digital Audio System is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume of both the TV and the system.
  • 5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.
  • When the receiver (home theater) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV's optical jack. When the TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the home theater receiver. If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.

AUDIO OUT: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier/DVD home theater.

  • When connecting, use the appropriate connector.
  • When an audio amplifier is connected to the AUDIO OUT jacks: Decrease the volume of the TV and adjust the volume level with the amplifier's volume control.

Available Devices: External devices that support EX-Link.

Network Connection

You can set up your TV so that it can access the Internet through your local area network (LAN) using a wired or wireless connection.

Connecting to a Wired Network

You can attach your TV to your LAN using cable in three ways:

  • You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a Cat 5 cable. See the diagram below.

SAMSUNG PN50C6400 - Connecting to a Wired Network - 1

  • You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to a IP Sharer which is connected to an external modem. Use a Cat 5 cable for the connection. See the diagram below.

SAMSUNG PN50C6400 - Connecting to a Wired Network - 2

  • Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet using a Cat 5 cable. See the diagram below. Note that the wall outlet is attached to a modem or router elsewhere in your house.

SAMSUNG PN50C6400 - Connecting to a Wired Network - 3

If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you don't have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.

Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV's Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a Windows computer, you can also get these values through your computer.

SAMSUNG PN50C6400 - Connecting to a Wired Network - 4

You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a Static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use Static IP addresses.

If Your TV Fails to Connect to the Internet

Your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet because your ISP has permanently registered the MAC address (a unique identifying number) of your PC or modem, which it then authenticates each time you connect to the Internet as a way of preventing unauthorized access. As your TV has a different MAC address, your ISP can not authenticate its MAC address, and your TV can not connect.

To resolve this problem, ask your ISP about the procedures required to connect devices other than a PC (such as your TV) to the Internet.

If your Internet service provider requires an ID or password to connect to the Internet, your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet. If this is the case, you must enter your ID or password when connecting to the Internet.

The internet connection may fail because of a firewall problem. If this is the case, contact your Internet service provider.

If you cannot connect to the Internet even after you have followed the procedures of your Internet service provider, please contact Samsung Electronics at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

Other Information

IssuesSolutions and Explanations
The TV is making a 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. Also try rerouting your connection cables. • Improper installation of wall mount can create excessive noise.
Image Retention (Burn In) Issue.• To minimize the possibility of screen burn, this unit is equipped with screen burn reduction technology. Pixel Shift technology enables you to set picture movement up/down (Vertical Line) and side to side (Horizontal Dot).
The cable/set top box remote control doesn't turn the TV on or off, or adjust the volume.• Program the Cable/Sat remote control to operate the TV. Refer to the Cable/Set user manual for the SAMSUNG TV code.
