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.

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.

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 a cable  
system).

SPECIAL FEATURES  
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.

SPECIAL FEATURES  
Viewing Closed Captions  
(On-Screen Text Message)  
Analog  
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 tapes packaging:

problem  
Please check the digital signal strength and input

The visual qualities of digital  
channels vary.  
The visual qualities of digital channels may vary  
depending on the original production method (analog  
or digital).  
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 to digital. The visual quality is of an SD  
grade.  
Although the TV caption shows  
HD,the visual quality is not  
satisfactory.  
The HD caption that appears when switching channels  
or when pressing the Information button on the  
remote control means the selected channel is a digital  
channel. If the broadcasting station converts an  
analog signal into digital and transmits the signal, the  
visual quality may not be perfect.
