    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.
    •HDTVprogram 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 Commissions 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 wont have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and
    HDTV programs. Theyre 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.

    Replacing the Lamp
    •Why do I need to replace the lamp?
    The lamp used in a DLP TV has a limited lifespan. For the best screen quality it needs to be replaced
    periodically. After replacing the lamp, the screen quality will be bright and clear as new.
    •When do I need to replace it?
    It should be replaced when the screen becomes darker, less clear or when the Lamp indicator on the
    front 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 left 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. 
    3. Do not touch the glass part of the lamp with your bare hands nor insert any foreign object inside
    the cover as it may cause poor screen quality, electric shock or fire.
    4. Do not place the old lamp near flammable objects or within the reach of children. 
    5. Be sure to connect this TV directly to an AC wall outlet. If the TVs AC plug is connected to a cable
    box or other source, it will not allow for proper cool down time. 
    Viewing Position
    To optimize your viewing comfort, please follow the guidelines below for viewing distance. 
    If viewing for an extended period of time, sit as far back from the screen as possible.
    Make sure to put the product
    at a distance (of about 10cm/
    4inch) from the wall so that
    adquate ventilation can be
    provided. 
    • Failure to do so may cause
    the critical effect in the
    expected life span of the
    product or the quality.
