Thank You for Choosing RCA
Congratulations on purdlasing this RCA t{igh l)efiniti(m "Ik,levision (HD'I%') fi'aturing Texas
Instmn_ents Digital Light Processing® tedmology-a tree viewing experience. Your purchase
decision represents an investment in a new generation of technology-l)LP® and HD'I% 7, Even
though this is a technologically advanced tfD_lY, iF is the most usel_/riendly of its kincl-with
comprehensive on-screen instructions that guide you through all of the 3%'s tk_atures, There are
three mai*'t things about HDTV that bring yon a superior viewing experience: (1) resolntiom (2)
aspect ratio, and (3) digital signal and sound.
Resolution
The crisp, liti_qike picture that people rav_, about when experiencing tree HDTV is due to the
resolution this technology provides, ttDTV is capable of resolution that is up to almost 10 times
the resolution of the l)ictun ' on a regular, analog TV!
Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio is simply the width and height of the picture, Regular +IAT_use a
x 3 aspect ratio, which means the picture is a little wider than it is tall (a scn'en
that is 20 inches wide is about 15 indies tall).
As TVs dlx)pped in price and people prospered in tile 1950s, the movie industry
created tile 16 x 9 aspect ratio (also called widescreen format) to get people
back to seeing movies, When the standards for HDTV were being developed by
the ATSC (Advanced Television Standards Committee), the 10 x 9 aspect ratio
4 x 3 Aspect Ratio
was chosen as the fiirmat f<ir HDT\,',
This widescreen tormat is nRich closer to the way we see and the plctuR!s are
crisper and cleaner with n/ore detail in the close-tip and p_tnoran/ic views,
Digital Signal and Sound
The analog television broadcast systenl that has been used in the ! nited
States ti>r the past 5(1 years transmits signals _s electronic waves. These waves
can sutt_r degradation as the signal travels to your home. Digital signals, in
16 x 9 Aspect Ratio
Digital Light Processing, DLP, the DLP logo, and the DLP medallion are trademarks of Texas Instruments.
contlTaSt to analog signals, can be reDiToduced precisely because the images
are transmitted and received using the computer language of ls and 0s. Such
precision yields a signal that is capable of displaying studio-quality picture and
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound.
