[BATTERY PRECAUTIONS]

• Be sure to follow the correct polarity as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.

• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-Zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.

• If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.

• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture.

Features of digital broadcasting

Digital broadcasting uses the newest broadcasting technology such as compression of audio and video signals and provides much more improved image and sound quality than analog broadcasting. For image quality, digital broadcasting have realized the High Definition Television (HDTV) that can display sharper and finer images than Standard Definition Television (SDTV) with double scanning lines, and can adopt the 16:9 wide screen format that fits more to range of human vision.

For audio quality, digital broadcasting offers the 5.1ch surround broadcast to give you the feeling of being at a stadium or a theater.

In addition, digital broadcasting enables to broadcast 2 or 3 programs of Standard Definition Television (SDTV), which is the analog television format, at the same time by 1 channel.This feature has made the program planning more diversified. In addition, digital broadcasting has overcome problems experienced with analog television such as ghosting or interference with digital technology.

Minor channel of digital broadcasting

In digital broadcasting, the selected channel can have the sub channel. It is called the minor channel. Though the minor channel programs provide a little poorer image quality than the High Definition Television (HDTV) programs, they have such an advantage as it will not move back other programs even when a sport relay is extended.
