Digital signals can be compressed, enabling a much more robust signal with no variation in quality. Digital signals, in contrast to analog signals that are used with regular TVs, can be reproduced precisely. Another requirement of HDTV is the ability to reproduce 5.1 Dolby Digital sound.

Key Features Overview
Your RCA Scenium HDTV is equipped with many features that will enhance your viewing experience. The following section highlights some of your TV’s most unique features. For details about many of the TV’s features, go to Chapter 3.
