A Guide to Digital TV

• What is Digital Television?

Digital television (DTV) is a new way of transmitting high quality video and audio to your TV set.
Using DTV, broadcasters can transmit high definition TV (HDTV) images, Dolby digital surround
audio, and new services such as multicasting (transmitting more than one program on the same TV
channel) and datacasting. Several of these services can be combined into a single digital
broadcast.

Digital Television Services

• Digital Picture Quality

DTV programs are transmitted in two different formats. The first is Standard Definition Television
(SDTV) and the second is High Definition Television (HDTV).

• SDTV program formats include 480-line interlaced (480i) and 480-line progressive (480p) video.

480i programs are essentially a digital version of our current analog TV programs, while the 480p
format offers improved image detail over 480i. Some 480p programs are broadcast in widescreen
and are comparable to progressive-scan DVD movies in image quality.

• HDTV program formats include 1080-line interlaced (1080i) and 720-line progressive (720p).

Both HDTV formats are always broadcast in widescreen, and offer much higher picture quality than
SDTV.

• Dolby Surround Sound

With DTV, you can listen to a variety of Dolby digital audio formats from Dolby Surround 2.0 to
Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, using your home audio system. Many HDTV programs are now
broadcast with DD 5.1 soundtracks.

CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs

CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs are the products of a new digital cable
standard. This new standard is called OpenCable and it is a concerted effort to
standardize the digital cable service network interface in North America. For more
information, please refer to www.cablelabs.com.

Digital Cable Ready TVs are equipped with a proper digital cable tuner to receive digital
cable signals from your local cable service provider. They are also designed to work with
digital cable card modules (PCMCIA card modules called CableCARDs). These PCMCIA
card modules or CableCARDs will be provided by your local cable service provider after
a proper subscription process.

The provided CableCARD from your local cable service provider needs to be inserted
into the CableCARD slot of a Digital Cable Ready TV. Please refer to page 24 for how to
insert the CableCARD.
A digital set-top box which used to be provided by the cable service provider is no
longer needed with Digital Cable Ready TVs and CableCARDs.

When CableCARD is inserted into the slot, the TV screen will show the message that
CableCARD is inserted and tries to download necessary data such as channel
information or subscription information from your digital cable service provider. When
you insert CableCARD for the first time, this process could take few minutes depending
on the amount of data your cable provider needs to send. During this process the digital
cable service provider or CableCARD may display messages on the TV screen to help or
give you further information.

Please contact your local cable provider for more information on service availability and
how to acquire a CableCARD.

NOTE

• This television receiver supports the copy protection system regulated by DTLA (Digital Transmission
Licensing Administrator). It should be noted that copy protected content may not be viewable
depending on your particular connections.

Q&A

1. Is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?

Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and works well with
many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channel assignments are different than analog
channels. You should find out whether your local DTV broadcasts are on VHF (channels 2-13) or UHF
(channels 14-69) to see if you need a different antenna.

If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already get good UHF reception, your present antenna may
work fine. The same holds true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some markets, both VHF and UHF
channels are used for DTV broadcasts.

You can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected Internet web
sites such as www.titantv.com and www.fcc.gov.

2. How difficult is it to receive DTV signals indoors?

This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and how close your
location is to the transmission tower. DTV receivers do not require as much signal as analog TV
receivers to produce high-quality images and sound.

Once the DTV signal level exceeds a certain threshold at the receiver, the digital video and audio data
is decoded at the same quality it was originally encoded for broadcast.
This is a big advantage for DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting, static, or scratchy audio.

3. How can I connect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative apartment,
condominium, or apartment?

The Federal Communications Commission's OTARD Rule (part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996)
allows residents of condominiums, townhouse, or members of neighborhood associations to put up
outside antennas for reception of broadcast TV signals as long as those antennas are not located in
common areas and are no more than 12' in height.

Residents of rental units (apartments, etc.) are not covered by the OTARD rules and will have to use
indoor antennas to receive DTV broadcasts. It is possible that the landlord of an apartment complex
can provide broadcast DTV signals via a master TV antenna system to each apartment.

4. Can I connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service?

Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently
incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will still need to use an outdoor or indoor
antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs.

The good news is that you won't have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and
HDTV programs. They're free, unlike subscription satellite TV or premium cable TV. All you need is an
antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy clear, sharp widescreen images and high-quality audio.

It should be replaced when the screen becomes darker, less clear or when all three LEDs on the front
(Timer, Lamp, & Temp.) are flashing.

• Check before lamp replacement

1. The lamp must be the same code number and type.

2. The lamp type is indicated on the right side of the TV. It is also indicated on the lamp case.

3. After checking the code number for the lamp, give the code number to the store where you
purchased the TV or to a Samsung Service center.

• Caution

1. Replace with the correct code numbered lamp to avoid damage to the TV.

2. Turn the power off and wait for 30 minutes before replacing the lamp as it will be hot.

Memorizing the Channels

Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and
cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH buttons
to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel
digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing
the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).

Selecting the Video Signal Source

Before your television can begin memorizing the available
channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is
connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or cable system).

Press the MENU button.

1

Press the … or † button to
select “Channel”, then press
the ENTER button.

Press the ENTER button to

2

select “Antenna”.
Press the … or † button to
select “Air” or “Cable”, then
press the ENTER button.

Checking the Digital-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.

Press the MENU button.

1

Press the … or † button to
select “Channel”, then press
the ENTER button.

Press the … or † button to

2

select “Signal Strength”,
then press the ENTER button.

If the signal strength meter
