HDTV:

High Definition Television:

HDTV signal formats are 1080i (interlaced scan) and 720p (progressive scan). HDTV provides the highest resolution picture and audio in either stereo or 5.1 channel surround sound.

ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) is the group that has been working to establish the standards for digital television broadcasting and digital television equipment - including both SDTV and HDTV.

NTSC:

Dolby® Digital:

Dolby® Digital (when available) provides 6 independent soundtrack channels through the coaxial output jack.

STB has a Dolby Digital output (labeled DIGITAL AUDIO (COAXIAL)) that can be connected to an external Digital Audio receiver/ decoder equipped with a coaxial input. With additional equipment you can enjoy more dynamic and realistic sound at home.

SDTV:

Standard Definition Television:

SDTV signal formats are 480p and 480i. SDTV provides lower resolution, yet presents a very sharp, clear picture. Lower resolution allows broadcasters to transmit multiple programs per channel.

NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) refers to the group that first established the standards used for conventional analog television broadcasting and TV equipment.

Sub-Channel:

Because of the compression of audio and video signals, each digital channel is able to carry different programs on sub-channels through a single channel. You can select them by simply pressing CH o / p buttons on your remote control when available.
