A GUIDE TO DIGITAL TV

What is Digital Television (DTV)?

Digital Television (DTV) is a relatively new type of broadcasting that promises to transform television viewing into a whole new experience. Digital technology is used to capture images and sound to deliver a better picture quality. DTV technology is also capable of multicasting and interactive capabilities.

There are many levels of digital television quality. The most common are:

Standard Definition TV (SDTV)

SDTV is the basic level of quality display and resolution for both analog and digital. Transmission of SDTV can be in the traditional (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) format.

Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV)

EDTV is better in picture quality than analog television. The formats for EDTV are 480p widescreen (16:9) or traditional (4:3).

EDTV is in the middle range quality between SDTV and HDTV.

High Definition TV (HDTV)

HDTV has the highest quality for digital broadcast formats. Its resolution is widescreen format (16:9). Combined with digitally enhanced sound technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture quality in television.

Digital Television is a more flexible and efficient technology than the analog broadcast system. Analog broadcasts can only provide one program at a time. Digital television can broadcast a high definition program or more than one standard definition program at the same time. This is often referred to as "multicasting". Digital television can also give you interactive video and data services through a single digital channel.

QUICK TIPS BEFORE YOU START

1 When the TV is powered-on for the first time you will be prompted to auto install the TV in order to receive the channels that are broadcasted locally.

2 Auto Installation may take 20 to 40 minutes depending on the number of channels that are transmitted by the cable provider

3 When the TV is not receiving any signal from the antenna / cable, NO SIGNAL will appear on the TV screen. This can be caused by the antenna / cable not being plugged in correctly or when the wrong tuner mode is selected.

When no transmission is received from the broadcaster, NO PROGRAM will appear on the TV screen.

4 You will not be able to receive pay channels when using direct antenna / cable connection to the television.

5 When the Set-top box is connected to the television using coaxial cable, it is necessary to auto-program the television for the single channel (3 or 4) that the Set-top box outputs and change the channels at the Set-top Box to view the program.

6 When the Set-top box is connected to the television using AV connection, select the television input source for the

Set-top box to view the program and change the channels at the Set-top Box to view the program. the

HOW TO ADD OR DELETE WEAK DIGITAL SIGNAL

D igital broadcasting is still new. It is not uncommon for a broadcaster to only send out a digital signal for part of a day. The reception could also come and go. If you program your channels when the signal is not being sent or is weak it will not be saved in your channel setup.

UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK CONTROLS

A utoLock is a feature that lets the TV receive and process data sent by broadcasters or other program providers with program content advisory. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock can respond to the content advisory and block program content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This feature is useful for adults to prevent certain types of programs from being viewed by children.

AutoLock offers various BLOCKING controls to choose from:

Access Code - An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable or censored programming set by their parents.

Channel Block - After an access code has been programmed, you cannot block individual channels including the A/V inputs.

Clear All - Lets you clear all channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control.

Block All - Lets you block ALL channels except A/V inputs.

No Rating / Unrated - ALL programing with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING / Unrated is set to ON.

Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures

Association of America (MPAA).

TV Ratings - Like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.

GLOSSARY

Aspect Ratio

Audio Video (A/V)

ATSC

CVBS

DTV

DOLBY Digital

Digital Tuner

The ratio between the width and height of the TV picture on the screen. In a normal TV set the aspect ratio is 4 to 3 (4:3). The new aspect ratio in HDTV is 16:9 which resembles the aspect ratio in a movie theatre

(Widescreen). New TV systems support both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio and can automatically switch between them.

A term often used when discussing a channel on a TV receiver or on video equipment, which has been especially designed to accept VCR audio-video signals. This channel automatically activates special circuitry within the TV set to prevent picture distortion and skewing. It is also used for audio-video processors, which handle both types of signals.

ATSC: Advanced Television Systems Committee. Formed to establish technical standards for advanced television systems, including digital high definition television (HDTV).

Composite Video Baseband Signal. In broadcast television this refers to the video signal, including the colour information and syncs

Digital television. Generic term that refers to all digital television formats, including high-definition television

(HDTV) and standard-definition television (SDTV).

Dolby Digital - Six-channel digital audio standard that is part of the U.S. digital television standard; also called AC-3 or Digital

5.1. The channels consist of front left, front right, front center, surround or rear left, surround or rear right, and a separate subwoofer

A digital tuner serves as the decoder required to receive and display digital broadcasts. It can be included inside TV sets or via a set-top box.

Resolution

The generally agreed upon definition of HDTV is approximately twice the vertical and horizontal picture resolution of today’s

NTSC TV, which essentially makes the picture twice as sharp. HDTV also has a screen ratio of 16:9 as compared with most of today’s TV screens, which have a screen ratio of 4:3. HDTV offers reduced motion artifacts (i.e. ghosting, dot crawl), and offers 5.1 independent channels of CD-quality stereo surround sound, (also referred to as AC-3).

National television system committee. The organization that developed the analog television standard currently in use in the

U.S., Canada, and Japan. Now generally used to refer to that standard. The NTSC standard combines blue, red, and green signals modulated as an AM signal with an FM signal for audio.

In Progressive Scanning all the horizontal scan lines are scanned on to the screen at one time. The Digital TV and HDTV

Standards accept both Interlaced Scan and Progressive Scan broadcast and display methods.

Resolution: A measurement of the finest (smallest) detail that is visible in a video image. TV Resolutions may be expressed as number of pixels in an image; or more commonly, “As Total Number of (horizontally scanned) Lines used to create the image.

Standard Digital TV Resolutions:

SDTV: 480i - The picture is 704x480 pixels, 480p - The picture is 704x480 pixels.

HDTV: 720p - The picture is 1280x720 pixels, 1080i - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels, 1080p - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels.

General

Disturbing sound

(such as buzzing, clicking, cracking, humming, whistling, etc).

It is normal to hear a disturbing sound (such as buzzing, clicking, cracking, humming, whistling, etc) from a distance less than 2 meters (6 feet) with the television sound muted.

If problem occurs on one channel, you may have a signal problem. Please contact the cable provider or local broadcaster regarding the specifi c channel.

Sound is not in

Stereo.

This could be due to any of the following reasons:

1. Not all transmitted broadcasts by the cable or broadcast stations are in STEREO. Try checking with several major network stations to be sure that the station you selected is in STEREO.

2. When SAP is turned ON, the sound mode is automatically set to MONO.

3. Sound mode is set to MONO. Set the sound mode to STEREO. (Refer to page 19).

4. When using an AV input, the television will not display STEREO even though it is producing stereo sound.

No power to the

General TV Displays white lines in letterbox when viewing a

DVD disc

Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as 30% more video information to give the best possible picture quality. With the DVD Player in the 16:9 picture format, the playback of this type of disc with extra video information can produce a number of small white lines in the upper portion of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this problem is inherent and does not require a service call.

CLEANING AND CARE

WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen: Placement of the TV

Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven picture-tube aging.

• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot; for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen for extended periods of time, or to display the same images on screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left on the picture tubes. Sources of stationary images may be

DVD disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes, digital television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels, and others. Here are some examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter others in your viewing):

• DVD menus—listings of DVD disk content

• Letterbox black bars—shown at the top and bottom of the

TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a

TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.

• Video-game images and scoreboards

• Television station logos—present a problem if they are bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube

• Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TV screen

• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the

TV screen.

Cleaning

• To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to keep the TV clean.

• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back cover of the set.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent damage of the cabinet finish.
