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 78 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 may take a 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.

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, www.10000watts.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, cooperative 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.

What is HDMI?

• HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the transmission of the digital audio and video signals using a single cable without compression.

• “Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels). The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi-channel digital audio.

Memorizing 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 (channel manager).

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 air or cable system).

Checking the Digital-Signal Strength

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.

Using D-Net

What’s D-Net?

D-Net refers to a home network consisting of devices supporting D-Net (IEEE1394) connection (such as digital VCRs and Set-Top Boxes).

D-Net (IEEE1394) interface is capable of supporting various high-end digital A/V applications, such as A/V device control and signal routing, Digital Video (DV) editing, home networking.

How to connect compatible IEEE1394 Devices

Connecting compatible IEEE1394 devices is simple using this TV. A secure digital interface is provided to other digital home entertainment units, such as a DTV, a Set-Top Box, an AV-HDD, a digital VCR, a MPEG Camcorder.

TV Rear Panel

IEEE 1394 Cable

Digital VCR (D-VHS)

To access D-Net (IEEE1394) in the menu, see page 87.

The IEEE1394 interface is equipped with a copy protection standard called Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP).

The name of 1394 Jack on the external device may be different according to the manufacturer (i.e., DTV LINK or i.LINK).

The supported video format is MPEG-2 Digital video. Other digital video formats (e.g. DV format...) are not supported. For audio, Dolby Digital and MPEG Digital Audio are supported, other digital audio formats (e.g. MP3, DTS) are not supported.

Because IEEE1394 is an evolving technology, it is possible that some or all of the features of a device you connect to the TV through the IEEE1394 port may not operate.

There may be a single IEEE1394 jack depending on the specifications of the external device.

Connect the IEEE1394 Cable from the jack

of the component with IEEE1394 capability, such as a Set-Top Box or a Digital VCR to the D-NET (IEEE1394) S400MPEG jack on the TV.

Press the D-Net button on the Remote

Control.

Select the D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible

device.

English-82

When Connecting D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible devices

The last device in the chain should not be looped back to the TV as the TV may not be able to work with the other devices.

To connect two or more D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible devices, follow the diagram below.

A maximum 10 D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible devices can be connected.

Do not connect D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible devices in a way that creates a loop.

Connection Options

There are two different connection options for connecting D -Net (IEEE1394) compatible devices. Select the most suitable option according to your network of audio/video products.

The Direct Device-To-Device Option

D-Net (IEEE1394) permits the chaining of devices, unlike analog audio and video connections where each device needs to be individually connected to the TV. This allows you to connect your D-VHS to your 1394 Set-Top Box only, then connect the Set-Top Box to the TV. More IEEE1394 devices can be added to the chain as needed. Each video device can be viewed on the TV’s D-Net and information can be sent from any IEEE1394 device to other compatible devices.

DTV STB

Digital VCR

The Hub Connection Option

D-Net (IEEE1394) also permits connecting devices using the TV as a hub. Each device is capable of sending information, which may include audio and video, to any other device on the network.

Other 1394 Device

DTV STB Digital VCR

4-Pin and 6-Pin Connectors

Two different types of connectors are used for IEEE1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin and a 6-pin.

The 4-pin connector sends digital audio, digital video and digital control signals to and from devices. The TV has two available 4-pin connection jacks, of which two are at the back.

The 6-pin connector also sends digital audio, video and control signals, but in addition, sends low voltage electrical power. There are no 6 pin connectors on this TV.

It is not possible to directly connect a 6-pin connector to a 4-pin jack, and vice versa. In order to connect a 6-pin device to a 4-pin device, an adaptor or adaptor cable is required, easily purchased from an electronics or computer store.

Connecting a 6-pin device (such as a camcorder) via an adapter to the TV, (if it is designed to receive electrical power from another 6-pin device) will require that the camcorder be directly connected to the AC supply, or that the camcorder’s battery power be used.

English-85

Selecting a D-Net device

Prior to viewing an IEEE1394 device, it first needs to be selected in the D-Net Device List.

Connect the relevant D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible device in the list.

Operating Tips

1) When the screen is switched to the TV program.

- When you select the first button, the DTV button, in the Device List, it switches to the TV program.

- Although you have selected another device from the Device List, if detecting a video signal from the device fails, the “Connection failed” message appears and the screen automatically switches to the TV program.

- When the 1394 connection to the selected device is disconnected, the screen automatically switches to the TV program. If you reconnect the device, the reconnected device is automatically selected.

2) When connected to a AV-HDD

- When a AV-HDD disc is rotating, there may be a time delay.

- Some AV-HDDs may provide two playbacks or recordings simultaneously. In this case, there may be two Play icons in the File List and 2 AV-HDD buttons in the Target List.

- If you copy a file from the File List, the selected AV-HDD file is played on the TV screen and recorded using the device selected from the Target List. If the file reaches its end, the recording device will stop automatically.

- Some AV-HDDs may display the wrong file information after recording, depending on the situation.

- If AV-HDD is recording, the file is automatically played which is currently being recorded, when it is selected from the Device List.

- For the “Go to recording position” button operation, the recording and playing time are displayed and the difference between them must be longer than 30 seconds.

3) When connected to D-VHS

- Some devices support an automatic connect function (I-mode). These devices may cause a malfunction when multiple devices are connected.

- Some D-VHS devices may not record properly when multiple devices are connected and the mode is I-mode.

- When selecting a D-VHS being used for a recording from the device list, you can only switch to D-VHS screen mode after the recording is stopped.

(PVR function - Refer to What is Time-Shift Mode? on page 89)

4) When connected to a camcorder

- Depending on if the camcorder is in Tape or Camera Mode, the control panel changes. If the camcorder turns off the power (power saving mode), the camcorder may disappear from the Device List.

5) AV-HDD, D-VHS and camcorders automatically stop when you select another device.

6) Some devices may be displayed in the Device List as ‘UNKNOWN’. This may happen when the device does not contain the proper information or it cannot be read.

7) Some devices may not be recognized and may be disconnected from the 1394 connection when they are turned off.

8) Through D-Net, you can connect another IEEE1394 compatible TV. If the TV is connected, the TV is listed in the D-Net Devices. At this point, the screen that appears when the TV is selected is determined by the specifications of the connected TV. That is, the screen of the connected TV or another connected IEEE1394 device may be displayed.

What is Digital TS ? : DTV packages digital data (video, audio and data) into 188 byte units using the MPEG-2 algorithm and transmits the data unit. It is called Digital Transport Stream or Digital TS.

When a SAMSUNG DTV which supports D-Net is connected to each other, it only transmits Radio Frequency (RF) of the selected DTV.

9) When connecting more than one STB, some STBs may not be displayed in the Device List due to STB specifications or defects when multiple devices are connected. Even if the device is displayed in the Device List, the connection may fail. STB problems may also stop the video stream while recording, or the recording may fail. In this case, you have to discover which device is defective by removing them one by one.

English-91

10) When multiple devices are connected, some devices may appear and then disappear periodically in the Device List. Because some devices malfunction when multiple devices are connected.

If this occurs, you have to discover and remove the defective device from the connection by removing the devices one by one.

11) When multiple devices are connected, the response time may be relatively long when selecting a device. This may happen when there is a device that malfunctions and degrades the 1394 connection speed. At this time, some of the functions of AV-HDD or D-VHS may not work, and the stream connection may fail. If this occurs, you have to discover and remove the defective device from the connection by removing the devices one by one.

12) When AV-HDD or D-VHS is being played, and you press the Pause button, some products may show the

“ Weak or no signals” message on the TV screen instead of a still picture as there is no video stream from the product.

13) If the number of connected IEEE 1394 devices exceeds 10, it may cause abnormal operation.

-Yes and Play may not operate smoothly, if you play after recording.

-Yes and the Play, Record and Copy functions do not work properly.

-Disconnect the malfunctioning device and then try again.

14) Copy Protection

-You can record a Copy-free, or Copy-one-generation screen.

- Although you cannot record a No-more-copies, or Copy-never screen, you can view it through another device.

- If you change the channel to a ‘Copy-never’ channel while recording a ‘Copy-free’ channel, the recording is

automatically stopped in some devices. Even if the program was recorded, you will not be able to view the recorded ‘Copy-never’ channel. At this time, therefore, the user has to manually stop the recording.
