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. They are also designed to work with digital cable card modules (PCMCIA card modules called CableCARDs). These PCMCIA card modules or CableCARDs will be provided by your local cable service provider after a proper subscription process.

The provided CableCARD from your local cable service provider needs to be inserted into the CableCARD slot of a Digital Cable Ready TV. Please refer to page 22 for how to insert the CableCARD. A digital set-top box which used to be provided by the cable service provider is no longer needed with Digital Cable Ready TVs and CableCARDs.

When CableCARD is inserted into the slot, the TV screen will show the message that CableCARD is inserted and tries to download necessary data such as channel information or subscription information from your digital cable service provider. When you insert CableCARD for the first time, this process could take few minutes depending on the amount of data your cable provider needs to send.

During this process the digital cable service provider or CableCARD may display messages on the TV screen to help or give you further information.

Please contact your local cable provider for more information on service availability and how to acquire a CableCARD.

DLP is known for its excellent contrast ratios, making dark scenes more discernible, alongside bright scenes that pop with clarity.

Connectivity options are a key feature of the HL-R5066W. It includes multiple HDMI ports, allowing users to connect various devices like Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and streaming devices. Additionally, it has component video inputs, S-Video, and audio outputs, catering to a wide range of home entertainment setups.

The television also incorporates Samsung's proprietary technologies, such as the Film Mode, which enhances the viewing of films by adjusting the frame rate for a smoother playback experience. Another notable feature is its built-in speakers, providing decent audio quality that complements the visual performance of the TV.

The design of the HL-R5066W is sleek and modern, with a black finish and a subtle curve that fits well into various home decors. The remote control is user-friendly, enabling easy navigation through settings and channels.

In summary, the Samsung HL-R5066W rear-projection television is a strong combination of size, technology, and design, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a sizable display with solid performance. With its DLP technology, ample connectivity options, and user-friendly features, it remains a memorable model in the evolution of flat-screen televisions.
