Introduction

Digital Signal and Sound

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. Connect a home theatre system to your HDTV and you’ll never “go out” to a movie or sporting event again--watching at home will be as good as the real thing!

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.

Integrated HDTV Tuner with QAM

RCA was the first to offer an integrated tuner with its HDTVs (no need for another box to receive digital programming). Now, we’ve gone one better— your HDTV’s tuner is ready for digital cable (no need for a cable box to view unscrambled digital cable programming). The tuner is able to decode all 16 formats of digital television broadcasts and it can interpret digital cable signals because it includes QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation).

Note: A cable box may be necessary to view scrambled channels. Contact your cable provider for more information.

TruScan Digital Reality

Picture performance starts with signal processing. TruScan Digital Reality intelligent signal processing recognizes incoming video signals and progressively converts them to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It also recognizes when original film sources have been modified and automatically converts the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail--a process commonly referred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown.

AVR Picture Projection System

The Accurate Visual Reality high definition picture projection system offers a brighter picture than conventional CRTs (cathode ray tubes). These tubes creates brilliant, lifelike fidelity. The AVR 4 lens system is designed to complement the CRTs providing accurate colors and razor sharp focus everywhere on the screen.

User-friendly Features Help You Personalize Your TV

You can customize your TV to fit your viewing taste and match the lighting where you watch TV by using Personal Presets and or the automatic picture quality settings: Vibrant, Natural, Cinematic. You can adjust each Input Jack to a different setting and the TV will automatically adjust the picture accordingly.

Help Text: The elaborate, on-screen help text describes your TV’s features and explains how to use them.

GUIDE Plus+™ System: The on-screen programming guide helps you navigate through hundreds of channels so you can quickly see what’s on and tune directly to a specific show from the guide! You can use the sort feature to search listings. You can even set up reminders to watch a certain show via the GUIDE Plus+ system’s Watch menu.
