Regarding Television Format
Viewing
Standard screen format tclevis[ons (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are
primarily dcsigned to vicw standard fomlat full-motion video. The images displa),cd on
them should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio foi-mat and constantly moving.
Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom
lettcrbox bars (wide screcn picturcs), should be limitcd to no morc than 15% of the total
tclev[sion viewing pcr weck.
Widc scrcen format tclcvisions (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to hdght) are
primarily &'signed to vicw widc screcn format full-motion vidco. The imagcs displaycd on
them should pmnarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio fommt, or expanded to fill the
screcn if your model offers this feature, and constantly moving. Displaying stationary
graphics and images on scrccn, such as the dark sidc-bars on non-expanded standard
fommt tclevision video and programming, should be lmfitcd to no more than 15% of the
total tclevision viewing per week.
Additionally, vicwing othcr stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video
game displays, station logos, web sitcs or computer graphics and patterns, should be
lmfitcd as described above for all tclevisions. Displaying any stationary images that e.weed
the above guidelines can cause uneven aging qf 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
stationa O, patterns or dark bars. On television models that oftcr picture sizing features,
use these controls to view the different fommts as a full scn'en picture.
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT
aging as a resuh of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not
covered by your Samsung lmfited warrant):

A Guide to Digital TV
What is Digital Television?
Digital television (DTV) is a new wa), of transnfitting high quality video and audio to
vourj TV set. Using DTV, broadcasters can transmit high defnition 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.
Digita| Television Services
Digital Picture Quality
DTV programs are transnfitted in hvo clillcrent formats. The frst is Standanl Dcfnition
Television (SDTV) and the second is High Defimtion Television (HDTV).
SDTV program tormats include 480-fne interlaced (480i) and 480-fne progressive
(480p) video. 480i programs are essentially a digital version of ocwcurrent analog TV
programs, while the 480p tormat otters improved image detail over 480i. Some 480p
programs are broadcast in widescreen and are comparable to progressive-scan DVD
movies in image qualit>
HDTV program tormats include 1080-fne interlaced (10801) and 720-fne progressive
(720p). Both HDTV tormats are always broadcast in widescreen, and otter nluch higher
picture ¢luality than SDTV
Dolby Surround Sound
With DTV, you can listen to a variety of Dolby Digital audio fommts front 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.

How to View Digita| Television
There are three ways to watch DT_Z The first is to use an integrated digital TV; one with
a bui|t-in digital te|evision tuner. The second is to connect an external DTV set-top
receiver to a DT_Uready television or monitor. This type of TV or monitor will have
wideband component video and stcrco audio inputs. _km 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 an"
ready to watch DT_
However, integrated DTV sets are not as common as DT_Uready TVs and monitors.
If you already own a DTV-ready TV with component video inputs, you can er\ioy 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
3. is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?
Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasOng 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. Ybu should find outt whether your
local DTV broadcasts are on _ff-iF(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 ma)" 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.
k\)u can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected
Internet web sites such as wwx<titantxcom, and ww_,<fcc.gov
2. How difficult is it to receive DTV signals indoors?
Thisdepends on whether your local DTV stations are runmng full power or not and
how close your location is to the transmission tower. DTV receivers do not recluire 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 ¢luality it was originally encoded tor broadcast.
This is a big advantage tor DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting, static, or
scratchy audio.
3. How can IIconnect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative
apartment, condominium, or apartment?
The Federal Comnlunications Commission's OTARD Rule (part of the
Tcleconmmnications Act of 1996) allows residents of condonliniums, townhouse, or
members of neighborhood associations to putt up outtside 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) an" 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 transmitOng digital TV programs that is
currently incompaoble with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will soil need to
use an outtdoor or indoor antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs.
The good news is that you won't have to pay a monthly or pe>program charge to
watch OTA DTV and HDTV programs. They're in'e, unlike subscription satellite TV or
prenlium cable T_,_All you need is an antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to et'\joy
clear, sharp widescreen images and high-quality audio.
