What is Digital Television?
DigitaJ teJevision(DTV) is a new way of transmitting high quality video and audio to your TV set.
Using DTV, broadcasters can transmithigh definition TV (HDTV) images, DoJby digitaJ surround
audio, and new services such as muJticasting (transmitting more than one program on the same TV
channeJ) and datacasting. SeveraJ of theseservices can be combined into a singJe digitaJ
broadcast.
DigitaJTelevisionServices
Digital Picture Quality
DTV programs are transmitted in two different formats. The first is Standard Definition Television
(SDTV) and the second is High Definition TeJevision (HDTV).
SDTV program formats incJude 480-Jine interJaced (480i) and 480-Jine progressive (480p) video.
480i programs are essentiaJJya digitaJ version of our current anaJog TV programs, whiJe the 480p
format offers improved image detaiJ over 480i. Some 480p programs are broadcast in widescreen
and are comparabJe to progressive-scan DVD movies in image quality.
HDTV program formats incJude ] 080-Jine interJaced (] 080i) and 720-Jine progressive (720p).
Both HDTV formats are aJways broadcast in widescreen, and offer much higher picture quaJity than
SDTV.
Dolby Surround Sound
With DTV,you can Jistento a variety of Dolby digitaJ audio formats from Dolby Surround 2.0 to
Dolby DigitaJ 5.1 surround, using your home audio system. Many HDTV programs are now
broadcast with DD 5.1 soundtracks.

@bbCARDandDigitdCaMeReadyTVs
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.

Licensing Administrator). It should be noted that copy protected content may not be viewable

.|s the antenna | use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?
Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channeJs as analog TV and works well with
many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channeJ assignments are different than anaJog
channeJs. You shouJd find out whether your JocaJDTV broadcasts are on VHF (channeJs 2-13) or UHF
(channds 14-69) to see if you need a different antenna.
If your DTV channels are on UHF and you aJready get good UHF reception, your present antenna may
work fine. The same hdds true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some markets, both VHF and UHF
channeJs are used for DTV broadcasts.
You can find out the Jatest DTV channd assignments for your area by browsing sdected Internet web
sites such as www.titantv.com and www.kc.gov.
2. How difficult is it to receive DTV signals indoors?
This depends on whether your JocaJDTV stations are running fuji power or not and how close your
Jocation is to the transmission tower. DTV receivers do not require as much signaJ as anaJog TV
receivers to produce high-quaJity images and sound.
Once the DTV signaJ JeveJexceeds a certain threshoJd at the receiver, the digitaJ video and audio data
is decoded at the same quaJity it was originaJJy encoded for broadcast.
This is a big advantage for DTV over anaJog TV- there is no noise, ghosting, static, or scratchy audio.
3. How can | connect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative apartment,
condominium, or apartment?
The FederaJ Communications Commission's OTARD Rub (part of the TeJecommunications Act of 1996)
aJJowsresidents of condominiums, townhouse, or members of neighborhood associations to put up
outside antennas for reception of broadcast TV signaJs as Jong as those antennas are not Jocated in
common areas and are no more than 12 _in height.
Residents of rentaJ units (apartments, etc.) are not covered by the OTARD ruJesand wiJJhave to use
indoor antennas to receive DTV broadcasts. It is possible that the JandJord of an apartment compJex
can provide broadcast DTV signaJs via a master TV antenna system to each apartment.
4. Can |connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service?
CabJe TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently
incompatibJe with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you wiJJstiJJneed 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 monthJy or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and
HDTV programs. They're free, unJike subscription sateJJiteTV or premium cabJe TV. AJJyou need is an
antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy dear, sharp widescreen images and high-quaJity audio.

• Failure to do so may cause
the critical effect in the
expected life span of the
product or the quality.
Rep[adngtheLamp
Why do Ineed to replace the lamp?
The lamp used in a DLPTV 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 Ineed 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 TV's AC plug is connected to a cable
box or other source, it will not allow for proper cool down time.
