Before Using
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.
High Definition Television (HDTV*) broadcasts can provide pictures twice as sharp as a conventional
broadcast and features sound encoded with Dolby Digital* 5.1 surround sound. Connection to a receiver (sold
separately) with Dolby Digital decoding provides a true theater experience in the home.
Digital broadcasting overcomes problems experienced with analog television such as ghosting, "snowy"
pictures and interference. Digital television 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.
The benefits extend not only to HDTV. It is also possible to transmit multiple Standard Definition Television
(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 should be used for its entire service life.
STB (Set Top Box) will make this possible.

Major features of STB
ATSC - Advanced Television Systems Committee:
This group is working to establish the standards for
digital television broadcasting and digital television
equipment for both SDTV and HDTV.
HDTV - High Definition Television:
HDTV signal formats are 1080i (interlaced scan) and
720p (progressive scan). HDTV provides the highest
resolution picture and audio in either stereo or 5.1
channel surround sound.
SDTV - Standard Definition Television:
SDTV signal formats are 480p and 480i. SDTV
provides lower resolution, yet presents a very sharp,
clear picture. Lower resolution allows broadcasters to
transmit multiple programs per channel.
Dolby Digital:
Dolby Digital can provide 6 independent soundtrack
channels through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPT.
or COAX.) jack. Connect to an external Digital
Audio receiver/decoder to enjoy more dynamic and
realistic sound at home.
DVI - Digital Visual Interface:
This interface transmits the video signal digitally, so
there is less deterioration, which results in a higher
quality picture. When connected to a HDCP-
compliant television you can also watch copy-
protected movies and television programs.
HDCP - High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection:
Digital broadcasting allows you to view high-
resolution movies and television programs in your
own home. HDCP technology prevents these high-
quality images from copyright infringement.
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 o/
pbuttons on your remote control when available.
Smart Antenna:
The Smart Antenna conforms to the CEA-909
standard. The STB controls the Smart Antenna,
automatically tuning to strong signals, so you do not
have to worry about the antenna once you have
completed initial installation and setup.
