3D Technology Checklist

This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires:

	A Display First, you'll need a 3D-ready display--whether it's a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession.
	A Source Your display may be ready for 3D playback, but you'll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system.
	3D Content 3D content--the actual entertainment, in other words--will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it's a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game.
	3D Glasses For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses. You'll need one pair per viewer, and they'll have to be compatible with your display, whether they're the same brand, or a pair of "universal" glasses designed to work across brands.
	HDMI Cable To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality.

Internet-Ready Devices

Internet-ready devices use your broadband connection to deliver dynamic content to your television, whether it's streaming video from Netflix, new music from Pandora, or a quick glance at today's weather forecast.

Although there is overlap, each manufacturer offers a unique bundle of free or paid services, including streaming video and music, social networking apps, online photo galleries, news and financial updates, weather info, sports scores, and a variety of other smartphone-like applications.

Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.

Learn more about Internet-ready devices and HDTVs, how they work, what services are offered by different manufacturers, and exactly what you'll need to get started at our Internet TV 101 customer center.

February 2011

Samsungs HT-D730W 7.1 Channel Blu-ray Home Theater System brings the entertainment home: Smart Home Theater delivers the best of the web, straight to your HDTV, with downloadable widgets and apps like BLOCKBUSTER, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, Pandora and more. You can shop online, share pictures, catch up with friends and more. Connect to a wide range of streaming digital content at the touch of a button. Your Samsung Home Theater is also wireless-ready, giving you the convenience of less cords, less hassle. It’s also part of DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). Samsung’s DLNA Certified Home Theaters have AllShare, which enables content to be seamlessly streamed between DLNA devices, allowing you to play files stored on your PC through your home theater. And Samsung’s new Crystal Amplifier Plus uses sophisticated “feedback” circuit technology that filters sound distortion and noise to provide pure sound.

Advancing the Art of Entertainment

Smart Home Theater with Web-Connected Apps

Samsung Smart Home Theaters allow you to easily search for movies, TV shows, explore Samsung apps and find many other types of new interactive content. Samsung Apps is a growing collection of premium apps specifically built for your TV that connects you to your favorite digital content such as movies from Netflix or Blockbuster, TV shows from Hulu Plus, videos from YouTube, music from Pandora, and social updates from Facebook or Twitter. A Search All feature enables you to find videos or files on both apps and other connected devices via AllShare DLNA Technology. The Your Video recommendation engine suggests movies you might like from your video-on-demand services. Samsung Smart Home Theaters let you discover a new world of web-connected entertainment.

2 HDMI

With HDMI, you can easily connect up to two compatible AV devices at the same time and replace AV cables with a single solution. An HDMI cable can replace anywhere from two to five cables so you can de-clutter your entertainment space with fewer wires.

Captivating 2D & 3D

Whether you are viewing a premium-quality 2D picture or seeing incredible 3D depth, images are breathtakingly real in Samsung Full HD. Combine with a 3D TV and 3D active shutter glasses to view the latest Hollywood 3D titles or amplify your viewing experience by upconverting 2D content to immersive 3D.

Connect with Samsung Smart Home Theater to easily search for movies, TV shows, explore Samsung Apps, chat with friends and more.

Stylish Design

A premium entertainment system needs a standout design that delivers impact. The swivel head speaker unit found with the Blu-ray Home Entertainment System delivers a whole new dimension in performance and style. It adds a contemporary edge to any home and will certainly turn heads. Also, the Slim, Symmetrical and Slot-in design, with new built-in lighting effect, Emotional Touch for effortless control and finished materials, screams quality. It creates an atmosphere that is comfortable, inspiring and very enjoyable.

Built-in WiFi

Access all your Smart Home Theater features or DLNA network content without the need for a wired connection or add-on device. The HT-D6730W has Wi-Fi connectivity right out of the box.

AllShare DLNA Networking

For even more entertainment options, the HT-D6730W lets you connect to your home network and stream music, videos, and photos from other DLNA Certified devices (your computer, network storage drive, etc.).
