A GUIDE TO DIGITAL TV

What is Digital Television (DTV)?

Digital Television (DTV) is a relatively new type of broadcasting that promises to transform television viewing into a whole

new experience. Digital technology is used to capture images and sound to deliver a better picture quality. DTV technology is
also capable of multicasting and interactive capabilities.

There are many levels of digital television quality. The most common are:

Standard Definition TV (SDTV)
SDTV is the basic level of quality display and resolution for both analog and digital. Transmission of SDTV can be in the

traditional (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) format.

Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV)
EDTV is better in picture quality than analog television. The formats for EDTV are 480p widescreen (16:9) or traditional (4:3).

EDTV is in the middle range quality between SDTV and HDTV.

High Definition TV (HDTV)
HDTV has the highest quality for digital broadcast formats. Its resolution is widescreen format (16:9). Combined with digitally

enhanced sound technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture quality in television.

Digital Television is a more flexible and efficient technology than the analog broadcast system. Analog broadcasts can only

provide one program at a time. Digital television can broadcast a high definition program or more than one standard definition
program at the same time. This is often referred to as "multicasting". Digital television can also give you interactive video and
data services through a single digital channel.

QUICK TIPS BEFORE YOU START

1 When the TV is powered-on for the first time you will be prompted to auto install the TV in order to receive the channels

that are broadcasted locally.

2 Auto Installation may take 20 to 40 minutes depending on the number of channels that are transmitted by the cable provider

or broadcaster.

3 When the TV is not receiving any signal from the antenna / cable, NO SIGNAL will appear on the TV screen. This can be

caused by the antenna / cable not being plugged in correctly or when the wrong tuner mode is selected.

When no transmission is received from the broadcaster, NO PROGRAM will appear on the TV screen.

4 You will not be able to receive pay channels when using direct antenna / cable connection to the television.

5 When the Set-top box is connected to the television using coaxial cable, it is necessary to auto-program the television for the

single channel (3 or 4) that the Set-top box outputs and change the channels at the Set-top Box to view the program.

6 When the Set-top box is connected to the television using AV connection, select the television input source for the

Set-top box to view the program and change the channels at the Set-top Box to view the program.

7 Pressing the A/D button on the remote control toggles the TV between Digital and Analog Mode.
