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.

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 4x3 aspect ratio;
HDTV’s aspect ratio is 16x9, 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
1/60th 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
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.
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.

10
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.
Here’s how it works:
•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

11
