,, Why does Samsung use HDMI?

Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted

to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD Home Theater) or an

analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is

degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/A

conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.

_,What is the HDCP?

HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection)is a system for protecting DVD content outputted

via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc)

and a display device O-V,projector, etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent

unauthorized copies from being made.

,, What is Anynet+?

Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with the

Anynet+ feature.

- If your Samsung TV has an _A_z_:logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.
