Digital TV notice
1. Functionalities related to Digital TV (DVB) are only available in countries/areas where DVB-T/T2 (MPEG2 and MPEG4
AVC) digital terrestrial signals are broadcasted or where you are able to access to a compatible DVB-C (MPEG2 and
MPEG4 AAC) cable-TV service. Please check with your local dealer the possibility to receive DVB-T/T2 or DVB-C
signal.
2. DVB-T/T2 is the DVB European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television
and DVB-C is that for the broadcast transmission of digital TV over cable. However, some differentiated features like
EPG (Electric Programme Guide), VOD (Video On Demand) and so on, are not included in this specification. So, they
cannot be workable at this moment.
3. Although this TV set meets the latest DVB-T/T2 and DVB-C standards, as of [August, 2008], the compatibility with
future DVB-T/T2 digital terrestrial and DVB-C digital cable broadcasts cannot be guaranteed.
4. Depending on the countries/areas where this TV set is used some cable-TV providers may charge an additional fee
for such a service and you may be required to agree to terms and conditions of their business.
5. Some Digital TV functions might be unavailable in some countries or regions and DVB-C might not work correctly
with some cable service providers.
6. For more information, please contact your local Samsung customer care centre.
✎The reception quality of TV may be affected due to differences in broadcasting method between the
countries. Please check the TV performance in the local SAMSUNG Authorised Dealer, or the Samsung Call
Centre whether it can be improved by reconfiguring TV setting or not.
