Frequently Asked Questions - PN63B550T2F SAMSUNG

How to prevent image retention (screen burn-in) on this plasma TV?
Avoid displaying static images (logos, black bars, video games) for more than a few minutes. Use the screen burn protection functions in the Picture menu, such as Pixel Shift and Gray Edges. Reduce brightness and contrast during prolonged display of static images. The warranty does not cover damage caused by image retention.
What to do if the remote control does not work?
Check that the TV is powered on. Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly (+ and - ends) and are not depleted. Replace the batteries if necessary. Move any source of intense light (neon, fluorescent lamp) that may interfere with the sensor. Clean the remote control's transmission window.
How to connect a DVD player or set-top box via HDMI?
Connect an HDMI cable between the HDMI IN (1, 2, 3, or 4) jack on the TV and the HDMI output of your device. For optimal quality, use an HDMI cable version 1.3 or higher. If no sound is heard, use the HDMI 2 jack and connect audio cables to the corresponding DVI IN jacks. Then select the HDMI source using the SOURCE button.
How to set the clock automatically?
During initial setup, the TV prompts you to set the clock. Select Auto in the clock setting menu. If you receive a digital signal, the clock sets automatically. You can also set it manually in the Setup > Clock menu. To access the setting, press MENU, then select Setup.
What is the Anynet+ function and how to use it?
Anynet+ is Samsung's HDMI-CEC technology that allows you to control multiple compatible devices (Blu-ray players, home theater, etc.) with a single remote. To use it, enable Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) in the Setup menu. Connect devices via an HDMI 1.3 cable. Press TOOLS to access the Anynet+ menu and select the desired device.
How to reduce the energy consumption of this TV?
You can reduce consumption by lowering the picture brightness. In the Picture menu, reduce the Cell Light or Brightness setting. Use the Standard picture mode instead of Dynamic. Enable the sleep timer. Turn off the TV with the POWER button instead of leaving it in standby.
Why is the screen black with the power indicator blinking?
This indicates that the TV is in power saving mode. Check that the source device (computer, set-top box) is on and properly connected. Move the mouse or press a keyboard key if using a PC. For a set-top box, check the power and cables. Press the SOURCE button to select the correct input.
How to play photos or music via the USB port?
Insert a USB flash drive or external hard drive formatted in FAT32/NTFS into the TV's USB port. Press the MEDIA.P button on the remote. Select Photo or Music in the Media Play menu. Use the directional keys to navigate and press ENTER to play the file. Supported formats include JPEG and MP3.
How to install the wall mount (VESA mount)?
Use a wall mount compatible with VESA 600 x 400 mm standard. Attach the mount to the wall with suitable anchors. For 63-inch models, you will need M8 screws (not supplied). Follow the wall mount instructions. To prevent falls, also attach a safety device (anti-tip cable) to the TV and wall.
How to reset the V-Chip PIN if I forgot it?
To reset the PIN to '0000', proceed as follows: turn off the TV (POWER), then successively press the MUTE → 8 → 2 → 4 buttons on the remote, then turn the TV back on (POWER). The code will be reset to 0-0-0-0. You can then set a new one in the V-Chip menu.

Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

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 nonexpanded 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 25 of this manual to reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

Altitude

The PDP can only operate normally at heights under 6500ft.

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 PN63B550T2F - A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel. - 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.

Connections

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see "Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads" below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see "Antennas with 75 Round Leads". If you have two antennas, see "Separate VHF and UHF Antennas".

Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or rabbit ears) that has 300 twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

  1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 adapter (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
  2. Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Antennas with 75 Round Leads

Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

  1. Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
  2. Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

Connecting Cable TV

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Cable without a Cable Box

Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable channels.

- Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

  1. Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled "ANT OUT", "VHF OUT" or simply, "OUT".

  1. Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

- Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of Antenna cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

  1. Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled "ANT IN", "VHF IN" or simply, "IN".

  1. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

What is HDMI?

  • HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.
  • The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.

Each DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD / Blu-Ray Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2(DVI) jack and the audio cables to the DVI AUDIO IN [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-Ray Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.

Signal Strength (Digital)

Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from snowy to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.

If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength. Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the strongest signal.
