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.

If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already get good UHF reception, your present antenna may work fine. The same holds true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some markets, both VHF and UHF channels are used for DTV broadcasts.

You can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected Internet web sites such as www.titantv.com, www.10000watts.com, and www.fcc.gov.

2.How difficult is it to receive DTV signals indoors?

This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and how close your location is to the transmission tower. DTV receivers do not require as much signal as analog TV receivers to produce high-quality images and sound.

Once the DTV signal level exceeds a certain threshold at the receiver, the digital video and audio data is decoded at the same quality it was originally encoded for broadcast.

This is a big advantage for DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting, static, or scratchy audio.

3.How can I connect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative apartment, condominium, or apartment?

The Federal Communications Commission’s OTARD Rule (part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996) allows residents of condominiums, townhouse, or members of neighborhood associations to put up outside antennas for reception of broadcast TV signals as long as those antennas are not located in common areas and are no more than 12’ in height.

Residents of rental units (apartments, etc.) are not covered by the OTARD rules and will have to use indoor antennas to receive DTV broadcasts. It is possible that the landlord of an apartment complex can provide broadcast DTV signals via a master TV antenna system to each apartment.

4.Can I connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service?

Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will still need to use an outdoor or indoor antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs.

The good news is that you won’t have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and HDTV programs. They’re free, unlike subscription satellite TV or premium cable TV. All you need is an antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy clear, sharp widescreen images and high-quality audio.

5.I hear a Clicking sound in standby mode.

You will hear the sound if you have set both ANTENNA (Air) and Cable to “Yes” in the TV Guide On ScreenTM Setup.

However, do not worry about this since the sound comes from inside your TV while it receives data for your TV Guide.

The Samsung HL-R5067W, HL-R6167W, and HL-R5667W are part of Samsung's line of DLP (Digital Light Processing) rear-projection televisions, offering impressive picture quality and advanced technology for an enhanced viewing experience. These models were particularly popular in the mid-2000s, marking a significant step forward in home entertainment.

One of the primary features of these models is their DLP technology, which utilizes a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) to reflect light through a color wheel. This technology allows for high-resolution images with excellent color accuracy and sharpness. The HL-R5067W, with a 50-inch screen, delivers a 720p resolution, while the HL-R6167W and HL-R5667W offer larger screen sizes of 61 inches and 56 inches, respectively, also at a 720p resolution. Despite the difference in size, all models are designed to provide a stellar viewing experience, particularly in darkened rooms.

Additionally, these televisions feature Samsung's proprietary Wide Color Enhancer technology, which enhances color depth and vibrancy, resulting in a more lifelike image. The integration of advanced digital processing allows these models to display fast-moving images with minimal motion blur, making them ideal for watching action-packed movies or sports.

Connectivity is another strong point for the HL-R5067W, HL-R6167W, and HL-R5667W models. Each television is equipped with multiple inputs, including HDMI, component, and composite video, allowing users to connect a variety of devices such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and cable boxes. This flexibility ensures that users can enjoy a comprehensive home theater setup.

Another important characteristic of these models is their thin profile compared to older CRT televisions, making them easier to integrate into modern living spaces. Their sleek design is complimented by a stylish remote that simplifies navigation and access to various features.

In conclusion, the Samsung HL-R5067W, HL-R6167W, and HL-R5667W TVs stand out in the realm of rear-projection televisions, showcasing Samsung's dedication to quality and innovation. With their DLP technology, impressive picture quality, and flexible connectivity options, these televisions provide a compelling option for anyone looking to upgrade their home entertainment system. While newer technologies have since emerged, these models remain a testament to the evolution of television technology.
