Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TV's 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 T_.
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 (T_,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 TV's with
