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.
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.
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.

1 Warranty card
Pressing the Ana/Dig button on the remote control toggles the TV between Digital and Analog Mode.
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 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 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.
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 signal channel (3 or 4) that the set-top box outputs and change the channels at the set-top box to view the program.
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.

GLOSSARY
27
Aspect Ratio
Audio Video (A/V)
ATSC
CVBS
DTV
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 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.
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 signal. The A/V 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 signal.
ATSC: Advance Television Systems Committee. Formed to establish technical standards for advanced
television systems, including digital high definition television (HDTV).
Composite Video Baseband Signal. In broadcast television this refers to the video signal.
including the colour information and syncs.
Digital television. Generic term that refers to all digital television formats, including high-definition television
(HDTV) and standard-definition television (SDTV).
Digital Tuner
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.
HDTV
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. 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 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 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.

Check that the antenna / cable is connected properly and that you have selected the correct
source type (refer to page 11).
SYMPTOMS SUGGESTED STEPS TO TAKE
No Signal
No Program
There could be temporarily no transmission on the selected channel. When transmission is
resumed or when available, your TV will receive it.
Audio Only
The current channel has only audio transmission.
Sound
Sound
Sound is not in
Stereo.
This could be due to any of the following reasons:
1. Not all transmitted broadcasts by the cable or broadcast stations are in STEREO. Try checking
with several major network stations to be sure that the station you selected is in STEREO.
2. When using an AV input, the television will not display STEREO even though it is producing
stereo sound.
Disturbing sound
(such as buzzing,
clicking, cracking,
humming, whistling
etc.)
It is normal to hear a disturbing sound (such as buzzing, clicking, cracking, humming, whistling, etc)
from a distance less than 2 meters (6 feet) with the television sound muted.
If problem occurs on one channel, you may have a signal problem. Please contact the cable provider
or local broadcaster regarding the specific channel.
General
No power to the
TV
Check the TV power cord. Unplug the power cord from the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert
the plug into your wall outlet. Power On the TV again.
Plug the power cord directly to the wall socket and not via an extension cord.
If you need to use an extension cord, check that the fuse on the AC power strip is not blown.
General
TV is not
responding to
Remote Control
Ensure the batteries are inserted into the remote control according to the illustration in the
battery compartment (refer to page 7).
Reset the TV by disconnecting the power plug from the wall outlet for 10 seconds and then
reconnecting it again.
General
No picture to the
TV
Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV ANT 75 ohm plug?
Check the SOURCE TYPE control for the correct tuner setting.
Try running the Auto Channel Search feature to find all available channels (refer to page 9).
Press the SOURCE button on the remote control to make sure the correct signal source is
selected (FRONT, AV1, CVI, Current Channel, etc.).
General
TV displays white
lines in letterbox
when viewing a
DVD disc.
Some DVD discs are encoded with as much as 30% more video information to give the best
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
upper portion of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this problem is inherent
and does not require a service call.
WARNING
Concerning stationary images on the TV Screen:
Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen for
extended periods of time. This can cause uneven picture-tube
CLEANING AND CARE
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 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):
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.
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.
Stock-market tickers
presented at the bottom of the TV
screen.
Shopping channel logos and pricing displays
bright and
shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the
TV 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.
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 the TV 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 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.
Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the
back cover of the set.
Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on
or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent damage
of the cabinet finish.
