1 Before Using

ATSC - Advanced Television Systems Committee: This group is working to establish the standards for digital television broadcasting and digital television equipment for both SDTV and HDTV.

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.

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.

Dolby Digital:

Dolby Digital can provide 6 independent soundtrack channels through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPT. or COAX.) jack. Connect to an external Digital Audio receiver/decoder to enjoy more dynamic and realistic sound at home.

DVI - Digital Visual Interface:

This interface transmits the video signal digitally, so there is less deterioration, which results in a higher quality picture. When connected to a HDCP- compliant television you can also watch copy- protected movies and television programs.

HDCP - High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection: Digital broadcasting allows you to view high- resolution movies and television programs in your own home. HDCP technology prevents these high- quality images from copyright infringement.

Sub-Channel:

The compression of audio and video signals enables each digital channel to carry different programs on sub-channels. Select them by simply pressing CH o /

pbuttons on your remote control when available.

Smart Antenna:

The Smart Antenna conforms to the CEA-909 standard. The STB controls the Smart Antenna, automatically tuning to strong signals, so you do not have to worry about the antenna once you have completed initial installation and setup.
