and MPEG4 AAC) cable-TV service. Please check with your local dealer the possibility to receive DVB-T or DVB-C
signal.
2.
DVB-T is the DVB European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television and
DVB-C is that for the broadcast transmission of digital TV over cable. However, some differentiated features like
EPG (Electric Programme Guide), VOD (Video On Demand) and so on, are not included in this specification. So,
they cannot be workable at this moment.
3.
Although this TV set meets the latest DVB-T and DVB-C standards, as of [August, 2008], the compatibility with
future DVB-T digital terrestrial and DVB-C digital cable broadcasts cannot be guaranteed.
