A Guide to Digital TV
tWhat is DigitalTelevision?
Digital television (DTV) is a newway of transmitting high quality video and audio to your TV set. Using DTV, broadcasters can
transmit high definition TV (HDTV) images, Dolby digital surround audio, and new services such as multicasting (transmitting
more than one program on the same TV channel) and datacasting. Several ofthese services can be combined into a single digital
broadcast.
Digital Television Services
=Digital Picture Quality
DTV programs are transmitted in two different formats. The first is Standard Definition Television (SDTV) and the second is High
Definition Television (HDTV).
• SDTV program formats include 480-line interlaced (480i) and 480-line progressive (480p) video. 480i programs are essentially
a digital version of our current analog TV programs, while the 480p format offers improved image detail over 480i. Some 480p
programs are broadcast in wJdescreenand are comparable to progressive-scan DVD movies in image quality.
HDTV program formats include 1080-line interlaced 1080i) and 720-line progressive (720p). Both HDTV formats are always
broadcast in widescreen, and offer much h gher pcture qua ty than SDTV.

Q&A
1. is the antenna i use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?
Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting usesthe same channels as analog TV and works well with many existing TV antennas.
However, DTV broadcast channel assignments are different than analog channels. You should find out whether your local DTV
broadcasts are on VHF (channels 2-13) or UHF (channels 14-69) to see if you need a different antenna.
If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already get good UHF reception, your present antenna may work fine. The same holds
true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some markets, both VHF and UHF channels are used for DTV broadcasts.
You can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected Internet web sites such as www.titantv.
com, www.10O00watts.com, and www.fcc.gov.
2. Now difficult is itto receive DTV signals indoors?
This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and how close your location is to the transmission
tower. DTV receivers do not require as much signal as analog TV receivers to produce high-quality images and sound.
Once the DTV signat level exceeds a certain threshold at the receiver, the digital video and audio data is decoded at the same
quality it was originally encoded for broadcast.
This is a big advantage for DTV over analog TV - there is no noise,ghosting, static, or scratchy audio.
3. How can Iconnect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative apartment, condominium,
or apartment?
The Federal Communications Commission's OTARD Rule (part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996) allows residents of
condominiums townhouse, or members of neighborhood associations to put up outside antennas for reception of broadcast TV
signals as long as those antennas are not located in common areas and are no more than 12' in height.
Residents of rental units (apartments, etc.) are not covered by the OTARD rules and will have to use indoor antennas to receive
DTV broadcasts. Itis possible that the landlord of an apartment complex can provide broadcast DTV signals via a master TV
antenna system to each apartment.
4. Can Iconnect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service?
Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently incompatible with broadcast DTV set-
top receivers. So you will still need to use an outdoor or indoor antenna to receive OTAbroadcast DTV programs.
The good news is that you won't have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and HDTV programs. They're
free, unlike subscription satellite TV or premium cable TV.All you need isan antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy clear_
sharp widescreen images and high-quality audio.

5. Is there a special fluorescent light or a neon sign nearby?
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see "Antennas with 300 _ Flat Twin
Leads" below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see "Antennas with 75 Q Round Leads".
If you have two antennas, see "Separate VHF and UHF Antennas".
Antennas with 300 £2Fiat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or "rabbit ears") that has 300 Qtwin flat leads, follow the
directions below.
1 Place the wires from the twin leadsunder the screws on a 300-75 Oadapter (not supplied).
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before
connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics
shops).
1 Connect both antenna leads tothe combiner.
2 Plug the combiner into the ANT INterminal on the bottom of the side panel.

Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

1 Plugthe incoming cable into the ANT IN terminalon the side of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable
channels.

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need
a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of Antenna cable. (These items are available at most electronics
stores.)
Findand disconnect the cable that is connected
to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box.

What is HDMI?
. HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is an interface that enables the
transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.
. The difference between HDMI and DVl is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and
has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
;'_ Each DVD Player or Cable Box /Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different
back panel configuration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color
when DVD Player or Cable Box /Satellite receivers supporting HDMI versions
older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is
no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI3/DVl IN jack and the audio cables
to the HDMI3/DVI IN JR-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens,
contact the company that provided the DVD Player or Cable Box /Satellite receiver
to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
;'_ HDMI cables that do not support HDMI version 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or
no screen display.
