A Guide to Digital TV

What is DigitalTelevision?

Digital television (DTV) is a new way of transmitting high qualityvideo and audio to your TV set. Using DTV,broadcasters cantransmit high definition TV (HDTV) images, Dolby digital surround audio, and new services such asmulticasting (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).

" 8DTV 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 8ound

With DTV,you can listen to a variety of Dolby digital audio formats frorn Dolby Surround 2.0 to Dolby Digital5.1 surround, using your home audio system. Many HDTV programs are now broadcast with DD 5.1 soundtracks.

Q&A

1.isthe antenna I use for existing TV receptiongood enoughfor 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 OTARDrules and will haveto use indoor antennas to receive DTV

broadcasts. It is possible that the landlord ofan 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 usea different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. Soyou will still need to use an outdoor or indoor antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs.

The good news isthat 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 VHF and UHF Antennas

if your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see "Antennas with 300 Q Flat Twin Leads" below,

if your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see "Antennas with 75 Q Round Leads". if you have two antennas, see "Separate VHF and UHF Antennas".

Antennas with 300 _ Fiat Twin Leads if you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or "rabbit ears") that has 300 Q

twin fiat leads, follow the directions below.

1 Placethe wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 O adapter (not supplied).

Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

2 Plug the adaptor into theANT I IN(CABLE) or ANT 2 IN(AIR) terminal on the rear of the TV.

Antennas with 75 _ Round Leads 1 PlugtheantennaleadintotheANT1 IN(CABLE)orANT2 IN(AIR)terminalontherearoftheTV.

S_parate VHF and UHF Antennas if you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF),you must combine the

two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an

optional combiner-adapter (available at most electronics shops). 1 Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

Plug the combiner into the ANT 1 IN(CABLE) orANT 2 IN(AIR) terminal onthe bottom of the rear panel.

2 Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT 1 IN(CABLE) terminal on the rear of the TV.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels If your cable box descrambles only some channels(such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a

two-way splitter, an RF(A/B) switch, and four lengths of Antenna cable, (These items are available at most electronics stores.) 1 Findand disconnect the cable that is connected

to the ANT INterminal on your cable box.

:_- This terminal might be labeled "ANT IN", "VHF IN"

or simply, "IN".

2 Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

Connect anAntenna cable between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the

Connect anAntenna cable between theANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B-IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.

Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and theA-IN terminal on

the RF (A/B) switch.

6 Connect the lastAntenna cable between the OUT

terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT IN 1 (CABLE) terminal on the rear of the TV.

After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the "A" position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the "B" position to view scrambled channels. (When youset the A/B switch to "B", you will need to tune your TV to the cable box's output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

What is HDMI?

• HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.

• "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 DVl 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.

What is OPTICAL?

• Converts the electric signal into anoptical light signal, and transmits it through glass fibers. S/PDIF is a transmission system of digital audio in the form of a light wave that uses a glass conductor.
