USING WITH HDTV
Understanding HDTV
What is Digital Television or DTV?
Digital TVs are televisions that can receive and display digital television broadcasts sent using any one of three following categories: HDTV (High Definition TV), EDTV (Enhanced Digital TV), and SDTV (Standard
Definition TV).
What is the Difference Between HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV?
HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV are three grades of television or displays. They reference the maximum resolution capability of a digital television or display to fully display digital broadcasts without having to “down-convert” the actual signal content to fit the display’s display limitations. The resolution requirements for each of the three DTV classifications and an explanation of the specifications are described below:
Vertical Res.
1
1080 lines
Horizontal Res.
2 Aspect Ratio 3
1920 dots 16:9 Wide
Scan Method 4
Interlaced
720 lines 1280 dots 16:9 Wide Progressive
HDTV grade televisions and displays are capable of displaying a maximum of either
1080 lines using interlaced scan method or 720 lines using progressive scan method.
Vertical Res.
1 Horizontal Res.
2 Aspect Ratio 3 Scan Method 4
480 lines 640 dots 4:3 Progressive
EDTV grade televisions and displays are capable of displaying a maximum of 480 lines using progressive scan method. All resolutions higher than 480 lines must be reduced to 480 lines in order to be displayed. Progressive scan method reduces flicker; however, picture quality may not necessarily outperform 480 interlaced when viewed at normal viewing distances.
Vertical Res.
1
480 lines
Horizontal Res.
2 Aspect Ratio 3
640 dots 4:3
SDTV grade televisions and displays are capable of displaying a maximum of 480 lines using interlaced scan method. All resolutions higher than 480 lines must be reduced to 480 lines in order to be displayed.
Scan Method 4
Interlaced
1 Vertical Resolution (Scan Lines)
Vertical scan lines refer to the number of horizontal lines a TV or display can display to create an image.
As the number of lines increase, more information is displayed, resulting in better picture quality.
2 Horizontal Resolution
Each horizontal line in a TV or display is made up of individual dots (pixels). The higher the number of pixels, the finer the TV picture becomes. Horizontal pixel measurements using today's technology can range from 250 for a VCR to as much as 500 for a DVD player.
3 Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio identifies the ratio of the TV screen's width over its height. A 16:9 aspect ratio refers to a wide-screen picture format, while a 4:3 refers to a standard “square” TV format.
4 Scan Mode
Interlaced scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with alternating lines of information and is the cause for flickering. Progressive scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with consecutive lines of information that results in flicker-free picture quality.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
Widescreen (16:9 Aspect Ratio) Viewing Modes
Understanding Widescreen Modes
This plasma display is capable of displaying a widescreen image on the native 16:9 aspect ratio screen. However, not all available broadcast or video content fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in unused screen space. Please use the following guidelines to determine suitable widescreen viewing modes available that best support the type of broadcast / video content you wish to display. All widescreen viewing modes are available by pressing the WIDE key. Pressing the WIDE key will repeatedly cycle through:
For 4:3 Aspect Ratio (Square) Content
Content from TV, VCR, and some DVD’s are formatted using a “square” 4:3 format:
Then we recommend the following three viewing options:
For Widescreen Content
Many popular DVD titles are “anamorphic”
(widescreen); however, there are two predominant
“anamorphic” (widescreen) aspect ratios: 2.35:1 and
1.85:1. When 2.35:1 content is displayed on this
16:9 widescreen display, you will notice smaller black bars on top or bottom of the screen. When a
1.85:1 content is displayed, you will still see black bars, but not as large as 2.35:1.
4:3 (NORMAL)
In 4:3 mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but black bars are added to the extra space on the left and right.
16:9 (FULL)
The original 4:3 image is proportionally stretched to fill the entire screen.
PANORAMA
The original 4:3 image is expanded in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The center of the picture is almost normal while the edges are considerably expanded.
If you do not want to see the black bars when playing back a widescreen movie, you can set to
ZOOM 2 or ZOOM 3 to fully stretch the image.
ZOOM: 1
Zoom1 shifts the image up to facilitate the display of subtitles.
ZOOM: 2
Zoom 2 is set to stretch 1.85:1 content to full screen eliminating the black bars.
ZOOM: 3
Zoom 3 is set to stretch 2.35:1 content to full screen eliminating the black bars.
Notes:
1.
4:3 and Panorama modes are not available when zoom mode is engaged.
2.
When using Component 1 and Component 2 inputs to display 480p, 1080i or 720p, Panorama mode is not available.
3.
When using RGB or DVI inputs, only 4:3, 16:9 and an additional 4:3 Zoom modes are available. In this
4:3 Zoom mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but is stretched to full screen in both horizontal and vertical directions, so the top and bottom of the image will be invisible.
4.
Do not stay in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this may cause a permanent after-image to remain on your screen.
