Frequently Asked Questions - PS50C490B3W SAMSUNG

How to prevent burn-in (image retention) on my Samsung plasma TV?
Avoid displaying static images (games, logos) for more than two hours. Reduce contrast and brightness. Use the Burn-in Protection function in the Picture menu. If retention occurs, activate Scrolling in the same menu for about an hour.
The remote control doesn't work, what should I do?
Check the battery polarity (AAA). Point the remote at the sensor from 1.5 to 1.8 meters. Clean the lens. Avoid intense fluorescent lights. If the problem persists, test with the TV buttons.
How to connect a computer to the PS50C490B3W TV?
Use an HDMI cable (HDMI IN 1(DVI) port) or a D-Sub cable (PC IN) with a separate audio cable (PC/DVI AUDIO IN). The optimal resolution is 1360 x 768 at 60 Hz. Set the source to PC in the Input menu.
Why do I have no sound with my HDMI connection?
Ensure the source device is HDMI 1.3 or higher compatible. Check that the HDMI cable is certified. If using a DVI-HDMI adapter, sound does not pass through HDMI; use the PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack.
How to watch 3D television?
You need to purchase Samsung active 3D glasses (models SSG-2100AB, SSG-2200AR or SSG-2200KR). Turn on the glasses, then press the 3D button on the remote. Select the 3D mode suitable for the source (e.g., Side-by-side). Viewing distance: at least 3 times the screen height.
The TV makes a buzzing sound, is this normal?
Yes, a slight buzz is normal for plasma screens. It is caused by electrical charges. If the noise is loud, reduce brightness or move the TV away from the wall. Also check the connection cables.
How to reset the PIN code if I forgot it?
Turn off the TV with the POWER button. Press on the remote in order: MUTE → 8 → 2 → 4 → POWER (turn on). The PIN code is reset to 0-0-0-0.
Can I use an external USB hard drive with Media Play?
Yes, as long as it is formatted FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS. Connect it to the USB port. Media Play plays photos, music and videos. Note: drives requiring more than 500 mA may not be recognized. Back up your data before use.
How to perform a software update?
You can update via a USB stick: download the file from www.samsung.com, place it on a stick, insert it into the USB port, go to Support → Software Update → USB. You can also use the broadcast (Channel) if available.
The TV turns off by itself after a few minutes, why?
Check the sleep timer (Setup → Time → Sleep Timer) and set it to Off. If the problem persists, check the Auto Power Off when no signal function in the Picture menu. Ensure the power cord is properly plugged in.

User Instructions

• Screen Image retention
Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP) on the plasma monitor panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, 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 period 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°F (5°C)
- A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.

SAMSUNG PS50C490B3W - 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 centre 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.
