Antenna Installation Safety

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the High Definition LCD TV,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to prevent voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70,
provides information on proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Lightning

For added protection for the High Definition LCD TV during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the
High Definition LCD TV due to lightning and power-line surges. Do not disconnect
the antenna or the power cord during a heavy storm-lightning may strike while you
are holding the cable cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your High Definition LCD
TV and wait for the weather to improve.

Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits.

2 INTRODUCTION: THE BASICS

Digital Television (DTV)

Television broadcasting is changing. By February of 2009, traditional analog TV
transmissions (the standard since TV's inception) will cease to exist, in compliance
with a federal mandate requiring all U.S. television stations to convert from analog to
the new digital television (DTV) standards.

In contrast to the magnetic waves used for analog transmission (also known as
NTSC, short for National Television Standards Committee), DTV transmits images
and sound as data, using ones and zeroes, the same digital code computers use. As
a result of this increased efficiency, DTV offers an array of benefits including
dramatic improvements to picture and sound quality. In addition, DTV allows the
same number of stations to broadcast using fewer channels, freeing parts of the
broadcast spectrum for other uses, such as public safety and wireless services

Note: DTV should not be confused with digital cable or digital

satellite systems. While these systems receive digital signals, the
signals are converted to analog for display on channel 3 or 4 of an
analog TV.

English

High Definition Television (HDTV)

The most common DTV formats are Standard Definition Television (SDTV) and High
Definition Television (HDTV). Of the two, HDTV delivers digital broadcasting's
highest resolution and picture quality. HDTV also uses a "widescreen format," which
refers to the aspect ratio (screen width vs. height) of the image. To put this in
perspective, analog television uses a 4 x 3 aspect ratio; HDTV's aspect ratio is 16 x
9, creating a more cinematic-like viewing experience. Plus HDTV increases the
number of horizontal scan lines on the screen, enabling it to render greater picture
detail. And, while HDTV uses approximately the same bandwidth, it transmits
approximately six times more information, further enhancing video and audio clarity.

About the Digital Television Picture

Your new Westinghouse High Definition LCD TV has a built-in HDTV/NTSC tuner,
meaning it can receive both analog and digital broadcasts from your antenna, cable
or satellite service. But because not all broadcasters have converted to the new DTV
standards, it's important to understand some fundamentals of the digital television
picture.

The elements that make up onscreen images are pixels. The more pixels, the more
detail, because the number of pixels determines picture resolution-and HDTV offers

9

English

the highest pixel count and best resolution available. HDTV resolution is available in
both 720p and 1080i formats. The "p" and "i" refer to the scanning method used to
deliver the lines of resolution on the screen. Progressive "p" scanning means that
pixels on the screen are refreshed simultaneously, with each scan showing every
line for a complete picture at 1/60th of a second. Interlaced "i" scanning refreshes
pixels by alternating first, by showing every odd line, then following with the even
lines-for a complete picture at 1/30th of a second.

True high definition image quality is possible only with a true high definition display­and a 720p or 1080i signal coming into your HDTV. Lower resolution images from
analog broadcasts or VHS recordings, for example, may result in disappointing
picture quality as they simply don't have enough detail to display well in high­definition. If you have cable or satellite service, you'll want to check with your
provider to determine which packages include stations broadcasting in high
definition, and if you need a different box or tuner to receive HDTV signals. You may
also find the "Aspect Ratio" feature found in the On Screen Display Menu's "Display"
option helpful in adjusting your picture. And, as more and more broadcasters change
to a digital signal, you will be able to view all of your programming choices in
stunning high definition-and the luxury of your personal home theater experience.

About Digital Channels

Currently, all broadcasters have an analog TV channel and a digital TV channel. The
digital bandwidth has the capability of accommodating more than one program
stream because each broadcaster's assigned digital channel carries a 19.39­megabit-per-second (Mbps) digital data stream. This allows the broadcaster the
option of broadcasting a single program or dividing the digital data stream into
multiple programming streams. These streams include the "major" channel specific
to a broadcasting station, as well as any additional programming streams on the
bandwidth, which are referred to as "minor channels" or "sub-channels," each
broadcasting a different program. As a result, the numbering system for digital
channels is different than that of traditional analog TV.

Here's how it works:

• The number in parentheses to the right is the actual physical channel number
of the transmitter used to broadcast the network programming in your region

• Each physical channel is mapped to one or more digital channel numbers,
known as "virtual channels," and represented by a number, followed by a dot

Digital Virtual Channel Number

Physical Channel Number

10

and then another number; for example, 7.1, 7.2, etc. (the old analog channel is
always referenced to minor channel "0", as in 7.0, while 7.1 would represent the
new digital television channel)

• The first number is the major channel used for all channels of a
particular broadcasting station

• The number following the dot is the minor channel number
assigned to each broadcaster's additional programming streams;
digital television stations may have only one virtual channel, or as
many as six

There are several ways to input digital television channels:

Wall mount and Base removal for the 42"/47"
HD LCD TV

The TV has been fitted with one set of VESA mounting holes. The holes are spaced
200 mm equally apart for the 42"/47" product. These mounting location are provided
strictly as an option to the user for wall mounting.

It is the responsibility of the user to use a UL Listed Wall Mount Unit rated to support
the weight of this TV. Please consult authorized service personnel for the
installation of this Unit. Incomplete or inadequate mounting of the unit to the wall
may cause it to fall down, resulting in potentially serious injury.

58

Safety bracket Options

Brackets

Anti-tip over option:
This TV has two small metal brackets on the back side of the TV. These two

brackets have a circular cut out in the center. The brackets are to serve as an "anti­tipover" option and/or theft deterrent.

If used as an "anti-tip over" aid, it is the responsibility of the user to securely anchor
the brackets to a surface that can support the weight of the TV.

(Note: at no time do we advocate using these brackets to support the entire weight
of the TV.) These brackets must be used in conjunction with TV's provided base.
The brackets are to be used as an additional safety precaution option.

Theft deterrent option:
If used as a theft deterrent, much like the "anti-tipover" application, the brackets can

aid in anchoring the TV.
