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.
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.
Difference between Digital and Analog ?
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. With Digital television you can receive information of programs through the Information Banner
and Electronic Program Guide. This information is provided by the broadcaster.
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.

UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK CONTROLS
utoLock is a feature that lets the TV receive and process data sent by broadcasters or other program providers with program content
A
advisory. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock can respond to the content advisory and block program content
that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This feature is useful for adults to prevent
certain types of programs from being viewed by children.
AutoLock offers various BLOCKING controls to choose from:
Access Code - An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable or censored programming set by their
parents.
Channel Block - After an access code has been programmed, you cannot block individual channels including the A/V inputs.
Clear All - Lets you clear all channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control.
Block All - Lets you block ALL channels except A/V inputs.
No Rating / Unrated - ALL programing with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING / Unrated is set to ON.
Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures
Association of America (MPAA).
TV Ratings - Like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.
MOVIE RATINGS
G: General Audience - All ages admitted. Suitable for all ages.
PG: Parental Guidance Suggested - Contains material
unsuitable for younger children.
PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned - Contains material
unsuitable for children under the age of 13.

Try running the Auto Install feature to find all available channels (refer to page 9).
Press the AV button on the remote control to make sure the correct signal source is selected
(FRONT, AV1, AV2, Current Channel, etc.).
Note: SVHS can only be selected if a S-VHS device is connected and powered on.
Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as 30% more video information to give the best
possible picture quality. With the DVD Player in the 16:9 picture format, the playback of this
type of disc with extra video information can produce a number of small white lines in the
upper portion of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this problem is inherent
and does not require a service call.

CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:
Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen for
extended periods of time. This can cause uneven picture-tube
aging.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures
that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen
for extended periods of time, or to display the same images
on screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be
left on the picture tubes. Sources of stationary images may be
DVD disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes,
digital television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels, and others. Here are some examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter
others in your viewing):
• DVD menus—listings of DVD disk content
• Letterbox black bars—shown at the top and bottom of the
TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a
TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.
• Video-game images and scoreboards
• Television station logos—present a problem if they are
bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are
less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube
• Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TV
screen
• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—bright and
shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the
TV screen.
Placement of the TV
• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and
increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures can become excessively hot; for example, in
direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.
• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.
Cleaning
• To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to
keep the TV clean.
• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage
the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything
abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the front
screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even,
easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or
sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a
mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the
wiped surfaces.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the
back cover of the set.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on
or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent damage
of the cabinet finish.
