A Guide to Digital TV

What is Digital Television (DTV)?

Digital Television (DTV) is 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.

DTV is by far 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.

Preparation

English_DFU_37132.indd 2 file : pdp top safety_items.eps

Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket before all connections

are made.

Place the TV on a solid surface or place the TV on the supplied stand.

For the mounting instructions of the stand, see the Connect Guide leaflet supplied.

For ventilation, leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV. Do not place the TV on a carpet. To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity.

Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water. The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Mounting the TV on the wall

This TV is compatible with the VESA wall mounting standard. Please contact your local electronics retailer for a VESA compliant bracket to wall mount this TV.

Caution : Installing the TV requires special skill that should only be performed by qualified personnel. You should not attempt to do the work yourself. Magnavox bears no responsibility for improper mounting or mounting that results in accident or injury.

Make sure that the wall mount is being fixed securely enough so that it meets safety standards.

CABLE require the cable box

Since you’ve connected the cable TV signal directly to the TV’s tuner, you can also watch the unscrambled programs by simply tuning to the desired channel. You must first use Autoprogram, however, to store channels in the TV’s memory.

See page 8.

Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.

& Basic connections to the TV

Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and displays the four basic DTV picture resolution standards.

- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i (480-line interlaced) or

480p (480-line progressive scan) video.

- HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the 1080i or 720p formats, always with a widescreen picture.

Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a movie theater. Images are much more distinct and free of flicker, and motion is smoother.

Next to analog NTSC broadcast reception, your TV has an integrated High

Definition TV tuner which receives, decodes and displays terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM) signals.

HDTV quality is only reproduced when a broadcaster or cable provider broadcasts

HDTV signals.

Note: Ask your broadcaster or cable box provider to transmit/enable HD content to your home, and possibly upgrade to a CableCard for the decription of HD signals.

There are 2 ways to get HDTV content:

- via cable,

- via antenna.

Note: This drawing is used wherever you can connect cable or antenna.

- Cable TV

Connect the cable TV signal to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack at the bottom of the TV. See page 8 for details on using Autoprogram to store channels in the

TV’s memory.

Note: this connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.

- Cable box with RF IN/OUT

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable IN jack 1 on the back of the cable box.

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack 2 at the bottom of the TV.

Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO TV jack, such as

OUTPUT or OUT .

• Set the OUTPUT CH switch 3 of the cable box to CH 3 or 4 (whichever is correct for your cable box), then tune the TV to the corresponding channel.

Once tuned, change channels at the cable box, not the TV.

Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The reason is that the RF output on a cable box - labeled TO TV , OUT or OUTPUT for example - will not send a stereo signal to the tuner (VHF/UHF) input on a TV.

- Cable box with A/V outputs

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal 1 to a signal splitter (not supplied).

The signal splitter enables you to avoid having to use the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box. This jack will not supply stereo sound to the TV.

Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO TV jack, such as

OUTPUT or OUT .

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on the signal splitter and to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack 2 on the TV.

• Connect another coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on the signal splitter and to the cable IN jack 3 on the back of the cable box.

• Connect A/V cables (not supplied) to the VIDEO and AUDIO L and R outputs on the back of the cable box and to the AV2 video (labeled VIDEO ) and

(labeled L and R ) jacks 4 on the back of the TV. AUDIO

• To view programs from your cable box, first press the AV+ button on the remote control.

• Press the cursor down or up buttons until the AV2 signal source is selected.

• Press the OK button to confirm your selection. The AV2 input source becomes current for the viewing of cable TV programs through your cable box.

Note: If your cable box Audio/Video outputs will not supply video and stereo audio to the TV, you will need to make the connection shown above in the example “Cable box with RF IN/OUT ”.

conn us entry05 cable.eps

- Antenna

Via antenna you can watch whatever DTV programs being broadcast in your area for free.

If you’re not sure what HDTV programming is available in your area, contact your local content provider or your local electronics store retailer.

Broadcasters are in the middle of a transition from analog to digital TV. This means that a given broadcaster will have two channels on the air, one analog and one digital.

Connect the incoming antenna signal to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack at the bottom of the TV. See page 8 for details on using Autoprogram to store channels in the TV’s memory.

Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.

- Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)

Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels as cable systems, and often at a lower price. To get these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish antenna outside.

There are 2 main DBS systems: DirecTV & DishNetwork. These systems require separate, proprietary set top receiver boxes to decode their signals and send them to your digital TV set. These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for offair DTV broadcasts.

Satellite broadcasters also provide major local channels, depending on the market in which you live.

DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable because they are in rural areas or other areas not passed by a cable line.

DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.

é Before installing your TV or before hanging it on the wall, connect all your accessory devices. See p. 20.

“ Refer to the bottom of the set for the correct operation voltage. Insert the power cord in the wall socket.

Consult your local dealer if your mains supply is different. To prevent damaging the mains (AC) cord which could cause a fire or electric shock, do not place the

TV on the cord.

Note: Digital Channel selection delay

Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel digital programming, the time to select and view a digital channel may take slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as compared to analog channel programs).

Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system data information that must be processed before the channel selection can be displayed.

Channel tuning

Available channels:

- Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM): max. from 1 to 125

- Antenna (analog NTSC or digital ATSC): max. from 2 to 69

If a tuned channel is not yet in the master channel map, the TV will attempt to tune the channel and it will be added to the map.

If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear that the channel is not available.

When you tune an audio-only digital subchannel, a display appears with the message Audio only .

Note: Subchannel selections

- The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible to receive

multiple program channels under a single major channel number which can be

selected by pressing the digit remote control direct-acces channel number entry.

- The number of channels shown at installation includes paid channels but you

may not be able to see all of them unless you sign up with cable TV operators.

Important :

After the installation of the TV channels has been done, always make a selection in the Installation menu between Antenna or Cable whether you want to watch

Antenna TV channels or Cable TV channels.

If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch in the corresponding position.

Weak channel installation

This enables you to do a weak ATSC digital channel installation. This is only available for TV channels installed via an antenna connection (see p. 4).

& If a certain channel you expect to see is not tuned or is weak, you can install it manually. Call your local broadcasting station to know what channel its being transmitted on.

é Select that channel in the displayed list of TV channels (in the antenna mode).

“ The signal strength is displayed and updated continuously as you rotate the antenna.

Please, have the Model and Product number which you can find at the back of your television set ready, before calling.

Tips

Care of the screen

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment.

Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen.

When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks.

Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and color fading.

Plasma display characteristics

This Plasma display is designed to be used at altitudes up to 6562 ft above sea level (and/or local air pressure equal or above

800 hPa). Operating this set at higher altitude (lower air pressure) is possible. However, at high altitudes (or local air pressure equal or below 800 hPa) the picture on this display may become unstable and picture performance can deteriorate. In addition, the plasma display may produce a humming sound in these conditions.

These possible adverse effects relate to the altitude and are common of all plasma displays. Once the set is brought below aprox 6562 ft

(and/or local air pressure equal or above 800 hPa) its function will most likely return to normal.

Note: Transportation at high altitudes has no negative effect on the set or picture performance.

How to dispose of batteries?

The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless in many areas batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please ensure you dispose of batteries according to local regulations.

Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen (only for Plasma Displays)

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in.

Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.

Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):

• TV and DVD menus : listings of DVD disk content;

• Black bars : when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;

• TV channel logo : present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;

• Stock market stickers : 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.

Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc.

Notes:

- reduce contrast and brightness when viewing

- once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.
