Introduction  
To ensure proper use of this product,  
please read this owner’s manual carefully  
and retain for future reference.  
This manual provides information on the  
operation and maintenance of your TV  
SET-UP BOX.  
What are Analog TV, Digital TV, NTSC, ATSC, SDTV, and  
HDTV?  
This chapter explains the Technical  
overview, unpacking, front panel, Rear  
panel, and Remote control.  
Analog TV  
Analog TV is the TV you’re probably most familiar with. Most of  
the TV broadcasts you receive via a standard off-air antenna or  
from your local cable company are analog TV broadcasts.  
Digital TV  
Digital television (sometimes called DTV) is a newer method of  
broadcasting TV signals that delivers higher quality audio and  
video. Digital TV is broadcast in two sets of formats, SDTV and  
HDTV.

What kinds of TV programming can I watch with the TV  
SET-UP BOX?  
NTSC  
TV SET-UP BOX provides you with the ability to receive  
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) refers to the  
group that first established the standards used for conventional  
analog television broadcasts and TV equipment.  
digital  
television programs from a wide range of sources, and to  
display them on standard definition TV.  
Using the Air/Cable jack on the back of the TV SET-UP BOX ,  
you can  
receive local digital television programs.

television broadcasts and digital television equipment  
including both SDTV and HDTV.  
SDTV  
What equipment is required to view Digital programming?  
SDTV (Standard-Definition TV) is a digital TV format that  
provides a high quality picture at resolutions that can be  
displayed on standard TV sets (see more on resolutions later in  
this chapter).  
To view digital programming, an addition to your TV SET-UP  
BOX, you will need television set.  
To receive digital off-air television broadcasts, you’ll need an  
off-air antenna.  
To receive cable TV programming, you’ll need a cable TV  
connection (provided by your local cable TV service provider).  
HDTV  
HDTV (High-Definition TV) is a digital TV format that provides  
the highest quality picture at resolutions that can be displayed  
on HDTV-ready TV displays, HDTV Monitors and, computer  
monitors.

Resolution an interlacing  
Input formats  
Two of the elements that determine the quality of a TV picture  
are resolution and interlacing.  
TV SET-UP BOX is able to receive broadcasts in any of the  
resolutions mentioned above.  
It will then do the appropriate  
Resolution: For TV equipment and broadcasts, resolution is defined  
by the number of horizontal lines displayed to make up each frame of  
a video image. The more lines of resolution used to draw each frame  
of video, the more detailed and sharp the picture will be. Standard TV  
resolution uses 480 horizontal lines to make up each of video. HDTV  
uses either 720lines, or 1080 lines to make each video frame.  
Interlacing: When TVs display video, they display a new video  
frame at a rate that is faster than your eye can see (from 24 to 60  
frames per second, depending on the TV and broadcast). Interlacing  
refers to whether each of those frames contains all of the lines of  
video for each frame or every other line. Interlaced signals take every  
other line frame 2 frames of video (each lasting 1/60th of a second),  
and combine them into one frame lasting 1/30th of a second. In this  
way, interlacing tricks your eye into thinking it is seeing twice the  
resolution that is actually being displayed.

In non-interlaced video, (referred to as progressive scan video),  
video frames are displayed every 1/60th of a second containing  
all of the lines of video information for each frame.  
The specifications for video resolutions are usually stated by  
giving the number of horizontal lines, followed by either the  
letter “i”, for interlaced video, or “p” for progressive scan video.  
The ATSC specification for HDTV broadcasts and equipment  
requires either 1080i or 720p. While there is some debate as to  
whether it is better to have more lines that are interlaced that  
1080i is highest quality video format.

Aspect ratio  
In addition to resolution and interlacing, HDTV is also defined  
by the aspect ratio of its broadcasts.  
letter  
box  
Aspect ratio means the shape of the screen as defined by the  
ratio of the screen’s width to its height. For analog TV and  
SDTV, the aspect ratio is 4 units wide by 3 units high (usually  
written 4:3).This is familiar shape of conventional TVs----slightly  
wider than they are tall.  
For HDTV broadcasts, the aspect ratio is 16:9 (nearly twice as  
wide as it is tall).This is not coincidentally, more like the shape  
of movies shown in theaters.
