A Guide to Digital TV
• What is Digital Television?
Digital television (DTV) is a new way of transmitting high quality video and audio to your TV set.
Using DTV, broadcasters can transmit high definition TV (HDTV) images, Dolby digital surround
audio, and new services such as multicasting (transmitting more than one program on the same
TV channel) and datacasting. Several of these services can be combined into a single digital
broadcast.
Digital Television Services
• Digital Picture Quality
DTV programs are transmitted in two different formats. The first is Standard Definition Television
(SDTV) and the second is High Definition Television (HDTV).
• SDTV program formats include 480-line interlaced (480i) and 480-line progressive (480p) video.
480i programs are essentially a digital version of our current analog TV programs, while the 480p
format offers improved image detail over 480i. Some 480p programs are broadcast in widescreen
and are comparable to progressive-scan DVD movies in image quality.
• HDTV program formats include 1080-line interlaced (1080i) and 720-line progressive (720p).
Both HDTV formats are always broadcast in widescreen, and offer much higher picture quality than
SDTV.
• Dolby Surround Sound
With DTV, you can listen to a variety of Dolby digital audio formats from Dolby Surround 2.0 to
Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, using your home audio system. Many HDTV programs are now
broadcast with DD 5.1 soundtracks.

Q&A
1. Is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?
Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and works well
with many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channel assignments are different than
analog channels. You should find out whether your local DTV broadcasts are on VHF (channels
2-13) or UHF (channels 14-69) to see if you need a different antenna.
If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already get good UHF reception, your present antenna
may work fine. The same holds true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some markets, both VHF
and UHF channels are used for DTV broadcasts.
You can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected Internet
web sites such as www.titantv.com, www.10000watts.com, and www.fcc.gov.
2. How difficult is it to receive DTV signals indoors?
This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and how close your
location is to the transmission tower. DTV receivers do not require as much signal as analog TV
receivers to produce high-quality images and sound.
Once the DTV signal level exceeds a certain threshold at the receiver, the digital video and audio
data is decoded at the same quality it was originally encoded for broadcast.
This is a big advantage for DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting, static, or scratchy
audio.
3. How can I connect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative apartment,
condominium, or apartment?
The Federal Communications Commission’s OTARD Rule (part of the Telecommunications Act of
1996) allows residents of condominiums, townhouse, or members of neighborhood associations to
put up outside antennas for reception of broadcast TV signals as long as those antennas are not
located in common areas and are no more than 12’ in height.
Residents of rental units (apartments, etc.) are not covered by the OTARD rules and will have to use
indoor antennas to receive DTV broadcasts. It is possible that the landlord of an apartment complex
can provide broadcast DTV signals via a master TV antenna system to each apartment.
4. Can I connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service?
Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently
incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will still need to use an outdoor or
indoor antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs.
The good news is that you won’t have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV
and HDTV programs. They’re free, unlike subscription satellite TV or premium cable TV. All you
need is an antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy clear, sharp widescreen images and
high-quality audio.

Connecting a Digital Audio System
There are many types of digital audio systems on the market today.
A simplified illustration of an audio system is shown below. For more information, see your
audio system owner’s manual.
If your audio system has an
optical digital audio input,
1
connect to the “DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)” jack
on the TV.
NOTE
• OPTICAL: converts the electric
signal into an optical light
signal, and transmits it through
glass fibers.
See page 67 to set the digital
output format (Dolby Digital or
PCM) appropriate to your
digital audio component.
Connecting to an Analog Amplifier
The “AUDIO OUT” terminals
cannot be used for external
1
speakers. You must hook
them up to an amplifier.
When an audio amplifier is
connected to the “AUDIO
OUT” terminals: Decrease
the gain (volume) of the
audio amplifier, set the
internal mute on in the TV’s
Sound Menu and adjust the
volume level with the volume
control of the amplifier.

Memorizing the Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and cable
channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH buttons to scan
through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel digits.
There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels
(automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).
Selecting the Video Signal Source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels,
you must specify the type of signal source that is connected to the TV
(i.e., an antenna or cable system).
Press the MENU button.
Press the … or † button to
1
select “Channel”, then press
the ENTER button.
Press the ENTER button to
select “Antenna”.
2
Press the … or † button to
select “Air” or “Cable”, then
press the ENTER button.
Press the … or † button to
select “Auto Program”, then
3
press the ENTER button.
