D
igital Television
(DTV) will be av ailable to consumers
by ov er-the-air
broadcasts in select
city markets beginning in the fa ll of
1998. Homeowners
can use Indoor and
Outdoor Antennas to
receive the new
transmissions, but
like p revious NTSC
Analog programming
reception can be
e f fected by the type
and quality of the
antenna, and the terrain interf erence typical to certain areas.
See page 8 for D TV s
rollout plans, dates,
and schedules.

• The DPTV can receive broadcasts from two antenna
sources. Connect an ATSC antenna to the DTV Antenna
jack, and a NTSC antenna, or cable TV signal, to the TV
Antenna/Cable jack.
• Multiple DVD signal connectors (Component-Y/Pb/Pr;
S-Video; or Composite) to be used for a variety of DVD
playback options. The DVD Inputs work in conjunction
with the DVD Stereo In audio jacks for sound playback.
• Three groups of NTSC Auxiliary Audio/Video Inputs can
be selected through the EXT INPUT button on the
remote, or the SOURCE button on the local keyboard.
• AUX1 - includes S-Video, CVBS Video, and accompany-
ing (Right)/(Left) channel Audio inputs.
Note: The AUX1 and AUX2 S-Video inputs work in conjunction with the AUX1 and AUX2 audio jacks for sound
playback.
• AUX2 - identical in operation to the AUX1 S-Video,
CVBS Video, (Right)/(Left) Audio Inputs.
• AUX3 - located on the right-side of the front of the
DPTV. Jacks include CVBS Video and (Right)/(Left)
Audio inputs.
• Two sets of A/V jacks direct external source signals to
the DPTV monitor:
• VGA IN - to connect a standard VGA (Video Graphics
Array) source for display.
• HD VIDEO IN - to input digital video from an external
source such as a computer. Input jacks include BNC connectors for R/Pr, G/Y, B/Pb, and H/H+ V signals.
• SYNC Switch - related to the HD Video inputs to allow
for synchronization switching between 75Ohm and High,
depending on the level of the digital source used.
• STEREO IN - jacks for (Right)/(Left) 2-channel stereo
sound to the DPTV speakers.
• 6-CHANNELAUDIO IN - to connect Right, Left,
Center, Right Surround (RS), Left Surround (LS), and
Subwoofer (SW) audio channels from an external Dolby
Digital device. The playback of 6-channel audio is also
dependent upon the configuration and adjustment of other
jackpanel (and ATSC Speaker Menu) switches and controls.
• The DPTV is capable of a variety of audio speaker configurations and connections for sending six channel audio
to internal and external speakers, as well as receiving
external supplied source material for playback.
• FRONT SPEAKERS Switch - to set the output of the
DPTV’s front (R)/(L)channel audio. INT(ernal) sends
(Right)/(Left) audio through the DPTV’s built-in (R)/(L)
front speaker system. EXT(ernal) routes the (R)/(L) channel audio to the FRONT EXTERNAL SPEAKERS OUT
terminals on the rear of the DPTV.
• FRONT EXTERNAL SPEAKERS OUT Terminals -
for the playback of the DPTV's front (Right/Left)
channel audio to external speakers (if connected). Note:
These speaker terminals are only active when the
FRONT SPEAKERS switch is set to EXT(ernal).
• SURROUND EXTERNAL SPEAKERS OUT
Terminals - to send the Surround Right (SR) and
Surround Left (SL) channel audio to external speakers.
• SUBWOOFER PREAMP OUT Jack - to send the
Subwoofer audio channel (at line level) to an external
powered Subwoofer speaker.
• SUBWOOFER SPEAKER OUT Terminals - to send
an amplified Subwoofer channel audio to an external
non-powered Subwoofer speaker.
• INTERNAL TV SPEAKERS USED AS CENTER
CHANNEL Switch -
used (in tandem with the Center
Channel Input switch - see next control description) to set
the DPTV’s built-in speaker system. Place the switch to
the YES position to use the DPTV for Center Channel
audio playback (as connected and supplied from an external Dolby Digital capable Amplifier source.) Place the
switch to the NO position to retain full DPTV internal
speaker system audio (with active Surround External
Speaker Out and Subwoofer Speaker Out terminal operation.)
Note: When the INTERNAL TV SPEAKERS and CENTER CHANNEL INPUT switches are placed in the YES
position no audio will be heard through the DPTV speaker system (unless a Dolby Digital capable Amplifier’s
Center Channel Output terminal is connected and active
through the DPTV’S CENTER CHANNEL INPUT terminals.)
• CENTER CHANNEL INPUT Switch - to control the
playback of the DPTV’s built-in speaker system for either
Center Channel audio (place switch to YES position
when connected to an external Dolby Digital capable
Amplifier’s Center Channel Output terminal); or for full
speaker DPTV system audio (place switch to NO in tandem with the Internal TV Speakers switch, see information listed above.)
• Three sets of audio output connectors and one video output connector are on the rear of the DPTV.
• SYSTEM AUDIO OUT - jacks send the DPTV system
audio (ATSC, NTSC, and Monitor) to an external amplifier. The DPTV outputs a 2-channel (Left/Right) stereo
audio signal.
• TV VIDEO OUT - CVBS video connector, matched
with a set of (Right/Left) Audio Outputs, used to send
NTSC video to an external source (such as a VCR, etc.)
• DTV DIGITAL AUDIO OUT - RCA connector which
routes the audio from the ATSC module to an external
amplifier/decoder that accepts a SPDIF (Sony-Philips
Digital Interface Format) input source.
