Page 3 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.
Page 4 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.
Page 5 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.

Page 112: Using The D-Net
Using the D-Net What’s D-Net? This refers to a home network consisting of devices supporting D-Net (IEEE1394) connections (such as digital VCRs and Set-Top Boxes) for digital audio and video data. The D-Net (IEEE1394) standard for the High Performance Serial Bus is a serial data transfer protocol and interconnection system.
Page 113 When Connecting D-Net (IEEE1394) Compatible devices The last device in the chain may 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.
Page 114: Connection Options
Using the D-Net 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.
Page 115: 4-Pin And 6-Pin Connectors
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.
Page 116: Selecting A D-Net Device
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.
