Frequently Asked Questions - PN58C590G4F SAMSUNG

How to prevent screen burn-in (image retention) on my plasma TV?

Avoid displaying static images (logos, black bars) for more than a few minutes. Use full-screen formats and reduce brightness/contrast. Enable protection functions such as pixel shift or screen saver in the Image > Image Options menu.

Why is there no sound even though the picture is displayed?

Check that the selected speaker is 'TV Speaker' in the Sound menu (Speaker Select). Make sure the remote is not on mute and the volume is sufficient. If using an external device, check its audio connections and output settings.

How to connect my TV to the Internet?

For a wired connection, plug an Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the back. For Wi-Fi, you need to purchase the Samsung wireless adapter (WIS09ABGN) and plug it into a USB port. Then go to Setup > Network > Network Type and select Wired or Wireless, then use Auto or Manual Network Setup.

The remote control does not work, what to do?

Replace the batteries with correct polarity. Clean the remote sensor. Point the remote directly at the TV from a distance of 1.5 to 1.8 m. Avoid fluorescent or neon lights nearby.

How to update the TV software?

You can update via Internet (requires network connection) or via a USB drive. Download the latest version from the Samsung website onto a USB drive, insert it into the TV, then go to Support > Software Update > USB. The TV will restart automatically.

Why is the picture distorted or black and white?

If using a component connection, check that the cables are correctly connected (green for video). For lack of color, make sure the picture mode is not set to 'Movie' or 'Dynamic' incorrectly. If the picture is black and white, the composite video cable (yellow) must be plugged into the green jack of Component 1 input.

How to switch between input sources (HDMI, PC, etc.)?

Press the SOURCE button on the remote to display the source list. Use the arrow keys to select the desired source (TV, HDMI1, PC, etc.) and press ENTER.

The TV turns off by itself, why?

Check that the sleep timer is disabled (Setup > Time > Sleep Timer > Off). Make sure the power cord is properly plugged in. If the TV receives no signal, it will turn off automatically after 10-15 minutes.

How to adjust the picture format?

Go to Image > Image Options > Size. Choose from 16:9 (recommended), Zoom1, Zoom2, 4:3, Wide Fit or Screen Fit depending on the source. For HD signals, 16:9 or Screen Fit are recommended.

What to do if a 'Mode Not Supported' message appears?

This message appears when the resolution of the connected device is not supported. Check the output resolution of your PC or external device and set it to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz (for PC) or 1080i/720p for HD sources.

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 side-bars 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 14 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.

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.

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, 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 / cable box / STB satellite receiver supporting HDMI versions 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.

COMPONENT IN 1, 2 / AV IN 1: When connecting to AV IN 1, the color of the AV IN 1 [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.

Connecting to an Audio Device

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Network Setup (Auto)

Use the Automatic Network Setup when connecting your TV to a network that supports DHCP. To set up your TV's cable network connection automatically, follow these steps:

To connect your TV to your network wirelessly, you need a wireless router or modem and a Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter (WIS09ABGN), which you connect to your TV's back or side panel USB jack. See the illustration below.

Samsung's Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts. com. Samsung's Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11A/B/G and N communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11N. When you play the video over a IEEE 802.11B/G connection, the video may not play smoothly.

NOTE

• You must use the "Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter" (WIS09ABGN) to use a wireless network.
  Samsung's Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately. The WIS09ABGN Wireless LAN adapter is offered by select retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com.
• To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP sharer supports DHCP, your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.
• Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.
• If you apply a security system other than the systems listed blow, it will not work with the TV.
• If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP-AES (WPS2Mixed) for your AP, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.
• If your AP supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network via PBC (Push Button Configuration) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in either mode.
  If your router, modem, or device isn't certified, it may not connect to the TV via the "Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter."
• Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection 4 ways.

PBC (WPS)
- Auto Setup (Using the Auto Network Search function)

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.
