lightning and power-line surges.
15.Power Lines-An outside antenna
system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where
it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17.0bject and Liquid Entry-Never push

___________________________________________
Digital broadcasting is the most
advanced format of broadcasting, employing a new
technology for compression of audio and video signals which allows broadcasters to
transmit digital signals using existing terrestrial systems.
Due to this dramatic progress, new features of broadcasting service such as widescreen
formats and higher definition provide ways to experience the full benefits of digital
transmission.
Digital broadcasting overcomes problems experienced with analog TV such as ghosting,
"snowy" pictures and interference. Digital TV has a dramatic effect on these problems by its
very nature.
In addition, the number of channels available has dramatically increased, so that you can
make the best choice among the variety of programs anytime with a clear picture.
It is also possible to transmit multiple Standard Definition TV (SDTV*) programs within
the same bandwidth. Some data capacity can also be allocated to provide more effective
closed captioning or multiple language soundtracks.
Your current TV can be used for its entire
service life. This STB (Set Top Box) will
now make this
possible.
•
Capable of receiving digital (ATSC*)
broadcasts
• Capable of receiving Standard
Definition TV (SDTV*) broadcasts
ATSC - Advanced Television Systems
Committee: This group is working to
establish the standards for digital TV
broadcasting and digital TV equipment for
both SDTV and HDTV.
SDTV - Standard Definition Television:
SDTV signal formats are 480p and 480L
SDTV provides lower resolution, yet
presents a very sharp, clear picture. Lower
resolution allows broadcasters to transmit
multiple programs per
channel.
•
Alternative languages
for OSD
(English, Spanish and French)
• Sub-channels* through a single digital channel
Sub-Channel - The compression of audio
and video signals enables each digital
channel to carry different programs on
sub-channels. Select them by simply
pressing [CH +/—] or the number buttons
on your remote control when
available.
