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.
CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs are the products of a new digital cable standard.
This new standard is called OpenCable and it is a concerted effort to standardize the digital cable service network
interface in North America. For more information, please refer to www.cablelabs.com.
Digital Cable Ready TVs are equipped with a proper digital cable tuner to receive digital cable signals from your local
cable service provider. They are also designed to work with digital cable card modules (PCMCIA card modules called
CableCARDs). These PCMCIA card modules or CableCARDs will be provided by your local cable service provider after a
proper subscription process.
The provided CableCARD from your local cable service provider needs to be inserted into the CableCARD slot of a
Digital Cable Ready TV. Please refer to page 78 for how to insert the CableCARD.
A digital set-top box which used to be provided by the cable service provider is no longer needed with Digital Cable
Ready TVs and CableCARDs.
When CableCARD is inserted into the slot, the TV screen will show the message that CableCARD is inserted and tries to
download necessary data such as channel information or subscription information from your digital cable service provider.
When you insert CableCARD for the first time, this process may take a few minutes depending on the amount of data
your cable provider needs to send.
During this process the digital cable service provider or CableCARD may display messages on the TV screen to help or
give you further information.
Please contact your local cable provider for more information on service availability and how to acquire a CableCARD.

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, cooperative 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.
To optimize your viewing comfort, please follow the guidelines below for viewing distance. If viewing for an extended period of time,
sit as far back from the screen as possible.
When installing the product, make sure to keep it away
from the wall (more than 10 cm/4 inches) for ventilation
purposes.
• Poor ventilation may cause an increase in the internal
temperature of the product, resulting in a shortened
component life and degraded performance.

3. Replace the cover.
Remove the batteries and store them in a cool and dry place if you won’t be using the remote
control for a long time.
The remote control can be used up to about 23 feet from the TV.
(Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries last for about one year.)
If the remote control doesn’t work, check the following:
1. Is the TV power on?
2. Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?
3. Are the batteries drained?
4. Is there a power outage, or is the power cord unplugged?
5. Is there a special fluorescent light or neon sign nearby?

What is HDMI?
• HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables
the transmission of the digital audio and video signals using a single cable without
compression.
• “Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows
multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels).
The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has
the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and
supports multi-channel digital audio.

Memorizing 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 CHand CHbuttons 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 (channel manager).
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 air or cable system).
