A GUIDETO DIGITALTV  
What is DigitalTelevision (DTV)?  
DigitalTelevision (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.  
There are many levels of digital television quality. The most common are:  
Standard DefinitionTV (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 DefinitionTV (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 DefinitionTV (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.  
Difference between Digital and Analog?  
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. With Digital television you can receive information of programs through the Information Banner.  
This information is provided by the broadcaster.  
QUICKTIPS BEFOREYOU START

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 theTV 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.  
, ,  
When in Digital Mode an audio only (without video picture) signal is received from the broadcaster, AUDIO ONLY will  
,,  
appear on the TV screen.

When the set-top box is connected to the television using coaxial cable, it is necessary to auto-program the television for  
the signal channel (3 or 4) that the set-top box outputs and change the channels at the set-top box to view the program.

possible picture quality. With the DVD player in the 16:9 picture format, the playback of this  
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 theTV Screen:  
Placement of the TV  
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.  
Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen for  
extended periods of time.This can cause uneven picture-tube  
aging.  
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 ghostimages can be  
left on the screen. Sources of stationary images may be DVD  
disks, laser disks, video games, cd-i disks, videotapes, digital  
television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite  
channels, and others. Here are some examples of stationary  
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-  
rated back cover of the set.  
Cleaning  
To avoid possible shock hazard, unplug theTV from the  
Electrical outlet before cleaning.  
Regularly dust theTV with a dry,nonscratching duster to  
keep the TV clean.  
When cleaning theTV, take care not to scratch or damage  
the screen surface. Avoid 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.

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
