These financial statements are the responsibility of the Systems’ management. Our responsi- bility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit in- cludes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by manage- ment, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the plan net assets of the Systems, as of March 31, 2001, and the changes in plan net assets for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 15, 2001 on our consideration of the Systems’ internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accor- dance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit. The required supplementary information on Schedules 1 and 2 is not a required part of the financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consist principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit this information and express no opinion on it.

To receive more service, please register your product at www.samsung.com/register Model Serial No. Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference only and may differ from actual product appearance. Product design and specifications may be changed without notice. Introduction This TV B2B (Business to Business) model is designed for hotels or the other hospitality businesses, supports a variety of special functions, and lets you limit some user (guest) controls. Operational Modes This TV has two modes: Interactive and Stand-alone mode. y Interactive mode: In this mode, the TV communicates with and is fully or partially controlled by a connected Set Back Box (SBB) or Set Top Box (STB) provided by a hospitality SI (System Integration) vendor. When the TV is initially plugged in, it sends a command that attempts to identify the SSB or STB connected to it. If the TV identifies the SBB or STB and the SBB or STB identifies the TV, the TV gives full control to the SBB or STB. y Stand-alone mode: In this mode, this TV works alone without an external SBB or the STB. The TV has a Hotel (Hospitality) Menu that lets you easily set its various hospitality functions. Please see pages 26 to 30. The Menu also lets you activate or de-activate some TV and hospitality functions so you can create your optimal hospitality configuration. Still image warning Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 format images, stock or news bars or crawls) on the screen.

  • Fox Sports Premium, TNT Sports Debut with €˜Sinceros’ Campaign
    Fox Sports Premium, TNT Sports Debut With ‘Sinceros’ Campaign 10.27.2017 Driven by the desire to grow their Argentine audiences, Fox Networks Group Latin America and Turner Latin America have teamed up to acquire the broadcast rights to Superliga Argentina de Fútbol. As a result of that mega-deal, both media companies also have launched 24/7 sports networks in the country. The five-year contract is an example of a growing international trend of two companies partnering to acquire broadcast rights, while each maintaining independent operations. Hernán Donnari, EVP of Fox Sports South America, says for many years Argentine soccer has been decentralized among different channels, resulting in high levels of overlap and audience flight. "We set out to rearrange the whole process and broadcast what is now called Superliga Argentina de Fútbol, in the same way major leagues across the world organize their events, by planning, ordering and setting high-production values with HD quality," he says. According to Donnari, making this business model sustainable required a premium product which, because of the size of the required investment, needed to be shared by two large companies. Taking that into account, in August 24/7 cable channels Fox Sports Premium and TNT Sports were born. "Given the magnitude of the business, Turner and Fox were the only types of companies that could undertake such a project, which requires making a significant investment in a single country," says Mariano Cesar, VP and channel manager Latin America of TNT, TNT Sports, TNT Series, TBS, truTV, HTV, MuchMusic and Glitz.
