A GUIDE TO DIGITAL TV
What is Digital Television (DTV)?
Digital Television (DTV) is a relatively new type of broadcasting that promises to transform television viewing into a whole
new experience. Digital technology is used to capture images and sound to deliver a better picture quality. DTV technology is
also capable of multicasting and interactive capabilities.
There are many levels of digital television quality. The most common are:
Standard Definition TV (SDTV)
SDTV is the basic level of quality display and resolution for both analog and digital. Transmission of SDTV can be in the
traditional (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) format.
Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV)
EDTV is better in picture quality than analog television. The formats for EDTV are 480p widescreen (16:9) or traditional (4:3).
EDTV is in the middle range quality between SDTV and HDTV.
High Definition TV (HDTV)
HDTV has the highest quality for digital broadcast formats. Its resolution is widescreen format (16:9). Combined with digitally
enhanced sound technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture quality in television.
Digital Television is a more flexible and efficient technology than the analog broadcast system. Analog broadcasts can only
provide one program at a time. Digital television can broadcast a high definition program or more than one standard definition
program at the same time. This is often referred to as "multicasting". Digital television can also give you interactive video and
data services through a single digital channel.
Attention !! Quick Tips before you start

When the TV is powered-on for the first time you will be prompted to auto install the TV in order to receive the channels
that are broadcasted locally
Auto Installation may take 20 to 40 minutes depending on the number of channels that are transmitted by the cable provider
or broadcaster.
When the TV is not receiving any signal from the antenna / cable, NO SIGNAL will appear on the TV screen. This can be
caused by the antenna / cable not being plugged in correctly or when the wrong tuner mode is selected.
When no transmission is received from the broadcaster, NO PROGRAM will appear on the TV screen.
4
5
You will not be able to receive pay channels when using direct antenna / cable connection to the television.
When the Set-top box is connected to the television using coaxial cable, it is necessary to auto-program the television for the
single channel (3 or 4) that the Set-top box outputs and change the channels at the Set-top Box to view the program.
6
7
When the Set-top box is connected to the television using AV connection, select the television input source for the
Set-top box to view the program and change the channels at the Set-top Box to view the program.
Pressing the A/D button on the remote control toggles the TV between Digital and Analog Mode.

add those channels with weak or no signals to your channel list. Adding or deleting WEAK DIG SIGNAL can only be

UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK CONTROLS
utoLock is a feature that lets the TV receive and process data sent by broadcasters or other program providers with program content
advisory. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock can respond to the content advisory and block program content
that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This feature is useful for adults to prevent
certain types of programs from being viewed by children.
AutoLock offers various BLOCKING controls to choose from:
- An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable or censored programming set by their
parents.
Channel Block - After an access code has been programmed, you cannot block individual channels including the A/V inputs.
Clear All - Lets you clear all channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control.
- Lets you block ALL channels except A/V inputs.
No Rating / Unrated - ALL programing with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING / Unrated is set to ON.
Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures
Association of America (MPAA).
TV Ratings - Like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.

GLOSSARY
Aspect Ratio
The ratio between the width and height of the TV picture on the screen. In a normal TV set the aspect ratio is 4
to 3 (4:3). The new aspect ratio in HDTV is 16:9 which resembles the aspect ratio in a movie theatre
(Widescreen). New TV systems support both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio and can automatically switch between
them.
Audio Video (A/V)
A term often used when discussing a channel on a TV receiver or on video equipment, which has been
especially designed to accept VCR audio-video signals. This channel automatically activates special circuitry
within the TV set to prevent picture distortion and skewing. It is also used for audio-video processors, which
handle both types of signals.
ATSC
ATSC: Advanced Television Systems Committee. Formed to establish technical standards for advanced
television systems, including digital high definition television (HDTV).
CVBS
Composite Video Baseband Signal. In broadcast television this refers to the video signal,
including the colour information and syncs
DTV
Digital television. Generic term that refers to all digital television formats, including high-definition television
(HDTV) and standard-definition television (SDTV).
DOLBY Digital
Dolby Digital - Six-channel digital audio standard that is part of the U.S. digital television standard; also called AC-3 or Digital
5.1. The channels consist of front left, front right, front center, surround or rear left, surround or rear right, and a separate
subwoofer
Digital Tuner
HDTV
A digital tuner serves as the decoder required to receive and display digital broadcasts. It can be included inside TV sets or
via a set-top box.
The generally agreed upon definition of HDTV is approximately twice the vertical and horizontal picture resolution of today’s
NTSC TV, which essentially makes the picture twice as sharp. HDTV also has a screen ratio of 16:9 as compared with most of
today’s TV screens, which have a screen ratio of 4:3. HDTV offers reduced motion artifacts (i.e. ghosting, dot crawl), and
offers 5.1 independent channels of CD-quality stereo surround sound, (also referred to as AC-3).
NTSC
National television system committee. The organization that developed the analog television standard currently in use in the
U.S., Canada, and Japan. Now generally used to refer to that standard. The NTSC standard combines blue, red, and green
signals modulated as an AM signal with an FM signal for audio.
Progressive Scan
Resolution
In Progressive Scanning all the horizontal scan lines are scanned on to the screen at one time. The Digital TV and HDTV
Standards accept both Interlaced Scan and Progressive Scan broadcast and display methods.
Resolution: A measurement of the finest (smallest) detail that is visible in a video image. TV Resolutions may be expressed as
number of pixels in an image; or more commonly, “As Total Number of (horizontally scanned) Lines used to create the image.
Standard Digital TV Resolutions:
SDTV: 480i - The picture is 704x480 pixels, 480p - The picture is 704x480 pixels.
HDTV: 720p - The picture is 1280x720 pixels, 1080i - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels, 1080p - The picture is 1920x1080
pixels.

type of disc with extra video information can produce a number of small white lines in the

CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:
Placement of the TV
Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen for
extended periods of time. This can cause uneven picture-tube
aging.
• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and
increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures can become excessively hot; for example, in
direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures
that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen
for extended periods of time, or to display the same images
on screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be
left on the picture tubes. Sources of stationary images may be
DVD disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes,
digital television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, sat-
ellite channels, and others. Here are some examples of station-
ary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter
others in your viewing):
• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perfo-
Cleaning
• To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to
keep the TV clean.
• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage
the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything
abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the front
screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even,
easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.
• DVD menus—listings of DVD disk content
• Letterbox black bars—shown at the top and bottom of the
TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a
TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or
sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a
mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the
wiped surfaces.
• Video-game images and scoreboards
• Television station logos—present a problem if they are
bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are
less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the
back cover of the set.
• Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TV
screen
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on
or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent damage
of the cabinet finish.
• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—bright and
shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the
TV screen.
