all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an
interface between any audio/video source, such as a
set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an
audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital

television (DTV), over a single cable.

RGB PC (VGA) - This video input has separate red,
green and blue color components. The signal

carries horizontal and vertical sync information on
the green signal. This is most commonly used for

PC input.

Component 1/2 - The video signal is separated into
three signals, one containing the black-and-white

information and the other two containing the color
information. This enhancement over S-Video takes

advantage of the superior picture provided by
progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.

S-Video (AV3) - The video signal is separated into
two signals, one containing the black-and-white

information and the other containing the color
information. Separating the color in this way avoids

'cross color' effects where closely spaced black and
white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also
enables text to be displayed more sharply.

AVl/AV2/AV3 (Composite) - The complete video
signal is carried through this single pin connector.

This is the most commonly used video connection.

TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard
NTSC TV using antenna or cable. If you have a
VCR, you can connect your antenna/cable to the

VCR RF Input and connect the VCR RF Output to
this connector.

information on using the OSD, see Section 3.5.9 - Special Features, page 48.

3oSoll Viewioq Modes

Normal Mode
The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, so black bars are

added to the left and right of the display image. Standard TV broadcasts are
displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Movies in 4:3 Aspect Ratio may be referred

to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9
(widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3).

Wide Mode
When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode,

the display image is stretched proportionately to fill the TV screen.
When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the

display image fills the TV screen. If you are watching a widescreen
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black

bars at the top and bottom.

Zoom Mode
When watching a widescreen (1.78:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1 source)

program or movie, the display image is zoomed proportionally to fill the
width of the screen. The top and bottom are cut off to remove most of

the source material's black bars. This mode is good for programs or
movies with sub-titles.

Panoramic Mode
When watching a standard broadcast or full frame movie in this mode,

the 4:3 Aspect Ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is stretched
horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The center

Glossary - Sbamdard Oefiimibioms

Analog TV: Today's TV system using radio frequency waves to transmit and display pictures and sound.
Aspect Ratio (4x3): Traditional TV "aspect ratio", that is, the screen's width as compared to its height.

For example, a "32 inch TV screen" would be 25 inches wide and 19 inches tall.
Aspect Ratio (16x9): "Wide screen TV" aspect ratio which is more like a movie screen than a traditional

TV. For example, a "32 inch TV screen" would be 28 inches wide and 16 inches tall.
Digital TV (DTV): Television delivered and displayed using radio frequency waves that contain

information that is digitally encoded for improved quality and efficiency.
Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV): A better digital television transmission than SDTV with at least 480P,

in a 16x9 or 4x3 display and Dolby digital surround sound. 480P is the quality used by most DVD players.
EDTV provides 300-400,000 pixels.

HDTV Monitor (sometimes called HDTV Ready): A set that can display HDTV programming if you have
a separate HDTV tuner, HD Cable Set-Top Box or HD Satellite Set-Top-Box Receiver.

HDTV Tuner (also decoder, receiver, set-top box): A device capable of receiving and outputting HDTV
signals for display, tt may be stand-alone or integrated in the set.

High-Definition Television (HDTV): The best quality picture, wide screen (16x9) display with at least
720 progressively scanned lines (720P) or 1080 interlaced lines (1080i) and Dolby digital surround sound.

HDTV provides 900,000-2.1 million pixels.
Integrated HDTV" An HDTV that has the digital tuner built into the set. It does not need a separate set-

top box to receive over-the-air DTV signals.
Interlace Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the odd lines first, then

filling the in the even lines (this happens instantaneously).
Plug-and-Play or Digital Cable Ready: A DTV or other device for digital cable consumers that plugs

directly into the cable jack and does not require a separate set-top box. Plug-and-Play TV owners must
obtain a CableCARD from their cable company in order to view scrambled programming services.

Progressive Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the lines consecutively
(progressively).

Standard Definition TV (SDTV): Basic digital television transmission that may be displayed with fewer
than 480 progressively scanned lines (480P) in 16 x 9 or 4 x 3 format. 480 interlaced (480i) is the quality

of today's analog TV system.
