1. PRODUCT SAFETY 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.

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 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 1/60 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 display—and 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 high-definition. 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

19.39-megabit-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.

↑ ↑

Digital Virtual Channel Number Physical Channel Number

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 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:

User Input (double-digit channels) Channel Displayed

11 . 3 Channel 11 . 3 113 Channel 11 . 3

User input (single-digit channels)

052 Channel 5 . 2

5.2 + Ent Channel 5 . 2

2. INTRODUCTION: The Basics

The Electronic Program Guide (EPG)

Your Westinghouse High Definition LCD TV features an on-screen interactive Electronic Program Guide (EPG) that allows you to review program information, as well as navigate through current and future programming options by channel or genre to plan viewing and recording.
