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 22 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.

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, 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.

Connecting a Digital Audio System

There are many types of digital audio systems on the market today.

A simplified illustration of an audio system is shown below. For more information, see your audio system owner’s manual.

TV Rear Panel

1 If your audio system has an optical digital audio input, connect to the “DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)” jack on the TV.

NOTE

• OPTICAL: converts the electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits it through glass fibers. A transmission system of digital audio in the form of a light wave, S/PDIF format using a glass conductor.

See page 77 to set the digital output format (Dolby Digital or

PCM) appropriate to your digital audio component.

Audio System

Connecting to an Analog Amplifier

1 The “AUDIO OUT” terminals cannot be used for external speakers. You must hook them up to an amplifier.

When an audio amplifier is connected to the “AUDIO

OUT” terminals: Decrease the gain (volume) of the audio amplifier, set the internal mute on in the TV’s

Sound Menu and adjust the volume level with the volume control of the amplifier.

NOTE

• If using the HDMI or Component input on the TV, the audio output signal is available only when the

TV’s Internal Mute is set to on.

Operation

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).

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.

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 all three LEDs on the front (TIMER, LAMP, & STAND BY/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.

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.

Problem

The visual qualities of digital channels vary.

Although the TV caption shows HD, the visual quality is not satisfactory.

Possible Solution

The visual qualities of digital channels may vary depending on the original production method (analog or digital).

➔ Classification by the information displayed when switching channels.

➔ If the original production method is digital: High visual quality program.

➔ If the original production method is analog: The digital program displayed on the screen is originally an analog program which has been converted. The visual quality is of an SD grade.

The HD caption that appears when switching channels or when pressing the Information button on the remote control means the selected channel is simply a digital channel. If the broadcasting station converts an analog signal into digital and transmits the signal, the visual quality may not be perfect.

(Applied to Set Top Box built-in model only.)

• The display panel used for the DLP TV is composed of many tiny pixels.

These pixels may occasionally appear on the screen.

With proper care, your TV will give you many years of service. Please follow these guidelines to get the maximum performance from your TV.

Placement

• Do not put the TV near extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places.

• Do not place the TV near appliances with electric motors that create magnetic fields, such as vacuum cleaners.

• Keep the ventilation openings clear; do not place the TV on a soft surface, such as cloth or paper.

• Place the TV in a vertical position only.

Liquids

• Do not handle liquids near or on the TV. Liquids that spill into it can cause serious damage.

Cabinet

• Never open the cabinet or touch the parts inside.

• Wipe your TV with a clean, dry cloth. Never use water, cleaning fluids, wax, or chemicals.

• Do not put heavy objects on top of the cabinet.

• This DLP TV projects the image onto a large screen by applying an optical system.

If you place the TV set face down, it might cause a problem because dirt, or some other contaminant may become attached to the inside of the TV set.

Temperature

• If your TV is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm place, unplug the power cord, and allow at least two hours for moisture that may have formed inside the unit to dry completely.

Using Your TV in Another Country

If you plan to take your TV with you to a foreign country, please be aware of the different television systems that are in use around the world. A TV designed for one system may not work properly with another system due to differences in the TV channel frequencies.
