A Guide to Digital TV What is Digital Television?
Digital television (DTV) is a new way of transmitting high quality video and audio to your TV set. Using DTV, broadcasters can transmit high definition TV (HDTV) images, Dolby digital surround audio, and new services such as multicasting (transmitting more than one program on the same TV channel) and datacasting. Several of these services can be combined into a single digital broadcast.
Digital Television Services Digital Picture Quality
DTV programs are transmitted in two different formats. The first is Standard Definition Television (SDTV) and the second is High Definition Television (HDTV).
SDTV program formats include 480-line interlaced (480i) and 480-line progressive (480p) video. 480i programs are essentially a digital version of our current analog TV programs, while the 480p format offers improved image detail over 480i. Some 480p programs are broadcast in widescreen and are comparable to progressive-scan DVD movies in image quality.
HDTV program formats include 1080-line interlaced (1080i) and 720-line progressive (720p). Both HDTV formats are always broadcast in widescreen, and offer much higher picture quality than SDTV.

Q&A 1. Is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?
Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and works well with many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channel assignments are different than analog channels. You should find out whether your local DTV broadcasts are on VHF (channels 2-13) or UHF (channels 14-69) to see if you need a different antenna.
If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already get good UHF reception, your present antenna may work fine. The same holds true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some markets, both VHF and UHF channels are used for DTV broadcasts.
You can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected Internet web sites such as www.titantv. com, www.10000watts.com, and www.fcc.gov.
. How difficult is it to receive DTV signals indoors? This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and how close your location is to the transmission tower. DTV receivers do not require as much signal as analog TV receivers to produce high-quality images and sound.
Once the DTV signal level exceeds a certain threshold at the receiver, the digital video and audio data is decoded at the same quality it was originally encoded for broadcast. This is a big advantage for DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting, static, or scratchy audio.
. How can I connect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative apartment, condominium, or apartment? The Federal Communications Commissions OTARD Rule (part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996) allows residents of condominiums, townhouse, or members of neighborhood associations to put up outside antennas for reception of broadcast TV signals as long as those antennas are not located in common areas and are no more than 12 in height.
Residents of rental units (apartments, etc.) are not covered by the OTARD rules and will have to use indoor antennas to receive DTV broadcasts. It is possible that the landlord of an apartment complex can provide broadcast DTV signals via a master TV antenna system to each apartment.
4. Can I connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service? Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently incompatible with broadcast DTV set-
top receivers. So you will still need to use an outdoor or indoor antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs.
The good news is that you wont have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and HDTV programs. Theyre free, unlike subscription satellite TV or premium cable TV. All you need is an antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy clear, sharp widescreen images and high-quality audio.

Connecting Cable TV To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below. Cable without a Cable Box 1 Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the side of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable channels.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels 1 Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled ANT OUT, VHF OUT or simply, OUT. Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on the side of the TV.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of Antenna cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1 Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box. This terminal might be labeled ANT IN,
VHF IN or simply, IN.
Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
Connect an Antenna cable between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4 Connect an Antenna cable between the ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the BIN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
5 Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the AIN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6 Connect the last Antenna cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT IN terminal on the side of the TV.
After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the A position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the B position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to B, you will need to tune your TV to the cable boxs output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

Connecting a DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) via HDMI This connection can only be made if there is an HDMI Output jack on the external device. This connection will provide the highest quality picture.
1 Connect an HDMI Cable between the HDMI IN (1, 2 or 3) on the TV and the HDMI jack on the DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box).
What is HDMI? HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is an interface that enables the
transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable. The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and
has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed. Each DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different
back panel configuration. The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color
when DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receivers supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI3/DVI IN jack and the audio cables to the HDMI3/DVI IN [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that do not support HDMI version 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.

Connecting a Digital Audio System The side panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a Digital Audio System to your TV.
1 Connect an Optical Cable between the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TV and the Digital Audio Input (OPTICAL) jacks on the Digital Audio System.
When a Digital Audio System is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack: Decrease the volume of the TV, and adjust the volume level with the systems volume control.
What is OPTICAL? An optical cable converts an electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits
it through glass fibers. S/PDIF is a transmission system of digital audio in the form of a light wave that uses a glass conductor.
Each Digital Audio System has a different back panel configuration. When the receiver (home theater) is set to On, you can hear sound output from
the TVs Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a DTV(air) signal, the TV will send out 5.1 channel sound to the Home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 channel sound will be heard from the Home Theater receiver.
If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DVD player or Cable/Satellite Box directly to an Amplifier or Home Theater, not the TV.
