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.

Using D-Net What’s D-Net? D-Net refers to a home network consisting of devices supporting D-Net (IEEE1394) connection (such as digital VCRs and Set-Top Boxes). D-Net (IEEE1394) interface is capable of supporting various high-end digital A/V applications, such as A/V device control and signal routing, Digital Video (DV) editing, home networking.
When Connecting D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible devices The last device in the chain should not be looped back to the TV as the TV may not be able to work with the other devices. To connect two or more D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible devices, follow the diagram below. A maximum 10 D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible devices can be connected.
Connection Options There are two different connection options for connecting D -Net (IEEE1394) compatible devices. Select the most suitable option according to your network of audio/video products. The Direct Device-To-Device Option D-Net (IEEE1394) permits the chaining of devices, unlike analog audio and video connections where each device needs to be individually connected to the TV.
4-Pin and 6-Pin Connectors Two different types of connectors are used for IEEE1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin and a 6-pin. The 4-pin connector sends digital audio, digital video and digital control signals to and from devices. The TV has two available 4-pin connection jacks, of which two are at the back. The 6-pin connector also sends digital audio, video and control signals, but in addition, sends low voltage electrical power.
If there are multiple devices of the same type, the devices will be listed in ascending order of the manufacturer name with Samsung first as the exception. If there are multiple devices of the same type and they are manufactured by the same company, they will be listed in the order of their serial number.
The Direct Device-To-Device Option Application Return D-Net Data Service License Application Enter Press the MENU button. Press the button to select “Application”, then press the ENTER button. Press the button to select “D-Net”, then press the ENTER button. • The TV and all other devices, connected on the D-Net (IEEE1394) chain, appear in the D-Net device list.
The D-Net control panel Select an IEEE1394 device from the D-Net device list. The TV will then display the D-Net control panel. This panel allows you to use the TV remote control to control the selected IEEE1394 device. Press the D-Net button on the remote control.

* What is Digital TS ? : DTV packages digital data (video, audio and data) into 188 byte units using the MPEG-2 algorithm and transmits the data unit. It is called Digital Transport Stream or Digital TS. When a SAMSUNG DTV which supports D-Net is connected to each other, it only transmits Radio Frequency (RF) of the selected DTV.
