Important Warranty Information
Regarding Television Format
Viewing
Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are
primarily designed to view standard format full-motion video. The images displayed on
them should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving.
Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom
letterbox bars (wide screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total
television viewing per week.
Wide screen format televisions (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are
primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed on
them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the
screen if your model offers this feature, and constantly moving. Displaying stationary
graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-expanded standard
format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 15% of the
total television viewing per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video
game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be
limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying any stationary images that exceed
the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle, but
permanent burned-in ghost images in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the
programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not
stationary patterns or dark bars. On television models that offer picture sizing features,
use these controls to view the different formats as a full screen picture.
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT
aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not
covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

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 (providing electronic
program guides and interactive television). 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 Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks.
Interactive Communications and Datacasting
DTV will allow you to interact with your television; choosing programs from a detailed
program guide, ordering products on-line while watching TV, and accessing ancillary
data about a program.
English - 3
How to View Digital Television
There are three ways to watch DTV. The first is to use an integrated digital TV; one with
a built-in digital television tuner. The second is to connect an external DTV set-top
receiver to a DTV-ready television or monitor. This type of TV or monitor will have
wideband component video and stereo audio inputs. You can also watch DTV signals
with personal computer (PC) tuner cards and computer monitors.
Integrated TVs versus DTV-ready TVs and monitors
The advantage of an integrated DTV set is that it can tune both analog and digital TV
channels at the same time. All you need to do is add an external antenna and you are
ready to watch DTV.
However, integrated DTV sets are not as common as DTV-ready TVs and monitors.
If you already own a DTV-ready TV with component video inputs, you can enjoy DTV
broadcasts by simply adding a low-cost DTV set-top receiver and antenna.
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.
English - 4
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 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.

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 a 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.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Extra Sound Settings (Auto Volume,
Pseudo Stereo, or Turbo Plus)
The following sound settings can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences
• Auto Volume
Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, which can make it necessary
to adjust the volume every time the channel is changed. “Auto Volume” lets you
automatically adjust the volume of the desired channel by lowering the sound output
when the modulation signal is high or by raising the sound output when the
modulation signal is low.
• Pseudo Stereo
“Pseudo Stereo” converts a monaural sound signal into two identical left and right
channels. Once the “Pseudo Stereo” is set to “On” or “Off”, the setting applies to the
sound effects such as “Standard”, “Music”, “Movie” and “Speech”.
• Turbo Plus
“Turbo Plus” emphasizes the bass and treble frequencies to add fullness to the sound.

Viewing Closed Captions
(On-Screen Text Message)

Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows.
These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign-language
translations. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-
recorded video tapes also provide closed captions. Most pre-recorded commercial video
tapes provide closed captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television
schedule and on the tape’s packaging:
