RUNNING HDTV

Understanding HDTV

What is Digital Television or DTV?

Digital TVs are televisions that can receive and display digital television broadcasts sent using any one of

three following categories: HDTV (High Definition TV), EDTV (Enhanced Digital TV), and SDTV (Standard

Definition TV).

What is the Difference Between HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV?

HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV are three grades of televison or displays. They reference the maximum resolution

capability of a digital television or display to fully display digital broadcasts without having to “down-con-

vert” the actual signal content to fit the display’s display limitations. The resolution requirements for each of

the three DTV classifications and an explanation of the specifications are described below:

Vertical Res. Horizontal Res. Aspect Ratio

Scan Method

Interlaced

Progressive

1080 lines

720 lines

1920 dots

1280 dots

16:9 Wide

HDTV grade televisions and displays are capable of displaying a maximum of either 1080

lines using interlaced scan method or 720 lines using progressive scan method.

Vertical Res. Horizontal Res. Aspect Ratio

480 lines 640 dots 4:3

Scan Method

Progressive

EDTV grade televisions and displays are capable of displaying a maximum of 480 lines

using progressive scan method. All resolutions higher than 480 lines must be reduced to

480 lines in order to be displayed. Progressive scan method reduces flicker; however, pic-

ture quality may not necessarily outperform 480 interlaced when viewed at normal view-

ing distances.

Vertical Res. Horizontal Res. Aspect Ratio

480 lines 640 dots 4:3

Scan Method

Interlaced

SDTV grade televisions and displays are capable of displaying a maximum of 480 lines

using interlaced scan method. All resolutions higher than 480 lines must be reduced to

480 lines in order to be displayed.

¹Vertical Resolution (Scan Lines)

Vertical scan lines refer to the number of horizontal lines a TV or display can display to create an image. As

the number of lines increase, more information is displayed, resulting in better picture quality.

²Horizontal Resolution

Each horizontal line in a TV or display is made up of individual dots (pixels). The higher the number of pixels,

the finer the TV picture becomes. Horizontal pixel measurements using today's technology can range from

250 for a VCR to as much as 500 for a DVD player.

³Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio identifies the ratio of the TV screen's width over its height. A 16:9 aspect ratio refers to a wide-

screen picture format, while a 4:3 refers to a standard “square” TV format.

⁴Scan Mode

Interlaced scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with alternating lines of information and is the cause

for flickering. Progressive scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with consecutive lines of informa-

tion that results in flicker-free picture quality.

How is a HDTV/EDTV/SDTV Different from a HDTV/EDTV/SDTV display?

In order to receive digital broadcasts, a digital “receiver” or “decoder” must be used to receive and decode

digital broadcast signals. Digital decoders can be built into the display itself or they may come in the form of

a Set Top Box that is added separately to the display. HDTV/EDTV/SDTV displays are digital displays with-

out a digital decoder built into the television whereas HDTV/EDTV/SDTV Televisions are displays with a

decoder built-in. HDTV/EDTV/SDTV displays give you the flexibility to add a digital decoder in the future

when digital broadcasts are more prevalent.

What is "Down-Convert"?

Down-convert takes place when a digital broadcast signal exceeds the display capabilities of the display and

the broadcast signal is reduced to match the television's limited display capabilities. For example, if a TV sta-

tion broadcasts a digital program using 1080 lines (1080i format) while the display can only display 480 lines,

the signal is reduced or down-converted to only 480 lines, resulting in lesser information being displayed.

This plasma display is able to display HDTV format. This means that this display can display

up to 768 lines using progressive scan format; therefore resolutions lower or higher than

768 lines must be up-converted or down-converted in order to be displayed. This HDTV

display includes advanced digital processing circuitry where the up-conversion or down-

conversion process is done automatically while maximizing picture quality.

What is "Up-Convert"?

Up-convert takes place when a digital television's display capabilities exceed the digital broadcast signal and

the broadcast signal is increased to match the TV's display capabilities. For example, if a TV station broad-

casts a digital program using 480 lines and the digital television is able to display 1080 lines, the signal is

increased or “up-converted” to match the TV.

This display includes advanced digital processing where all traditional analog television and

video formats (NTSC / PAL) in the form interlaced signals are up-converted to 480 lines pro-

gressive scan method. Please note that up-conversion may result in some picture artifacts

because information is being artificially added to the picture.

Is This Plasma display Compatible with Digital TV / HDTV?

This plasma display is compatible with digital TV. In order to receive digital television broadcasts, you will

need to use a “HDTV decoder” or “HDTV Set Top Box” with component video output or RGB video output.

Please consult your local sales representative prior to purchasing a HDTV decoder or HDTV Set Top Box.

Widescreen (16:9 Aspect Ratio) Viewing Modes

Understanding Widescreen Modes

This plasma display is capable of displaying a widescreen image on the native

16:9 aspect ratio screen. However, not all available broadcast or video con-

tent fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in unused screen

space. Please use the following guidelines to determine suitable widescreen

viewing modes available that best support the type of broadcast / video con-

tent you wish to display. All widescreen viewing modes are available by

pressing the WIDE key. Pressing the WIDE key will repeatedly cycle

through:

For 4:3 Aspect Ratio (Square) Content

For Widescreen Content

Content from TV, VCR, and some DVD’s are format- Many popular DVD titles are “anamorphic” (wide-

ted using a “square” 4:3 format:

screen); however, there are two predominant

“anamorphic” (widescreen) aspect ratios: 2.35:1 and

1.85:1. When 2.35:1 content is displayed on this

16:9 widescreen display, you will notice smaller

black bars on top or bottom of the screen. When a

1.85:1 content is displayed, you will still see black

bars, but not as large as 2.35:1.

Then we recommend the following three viewing

options:

4:3

(NORMAL)

16:9 (FULL)

APPENDIX

TV TUNER SETTING

NTSC TV Tuner Setting

TV / Cable TV Connections

Connecting to TV or Cable TV

1. Confirm your display is equipped with a TV tuner. You can

tell by looking at the connection jacks located on the back of

the display. If there is a threaded-screw type of connector

(called the RF connector), then you have a TV tuner. If you

do not see this type of connector, then you do not have a TV

tuner installed.

2. Connect the RF cable from the antenna or cable socket to

the RF connector labeled as “ANT” on the back of the dis-

play.

Notes:

„ You can still receive TV or Cable TV reception without the

TV tuner if you have a VCR with a built-in TV tuner con-

nected to the back of the display. See instructions included

in your VCR for instructions on how to attach a VCR to this

display.

Important Safety Instructions: Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV

receiver, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so

as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provides

information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an

antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca-

tion of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-

trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Example of antenna grounding as per National Electrical

Code is as the right picture.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cautions When Using the Plasma Display

„ Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the plasma dis-

play. Top of plasma display is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air

being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries may occur if any

body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the display could also

result in heat related damages to the object as well as the display itself.

„ Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the plasma display. Moving the display with its cables

attached may damage the cables and thus case fire or electric shock danger.

„ Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any type of clean-

ing or maintenance procedure.

Front Panel Cleaning Instructions

„ The front of the display has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a

soft, lint-free cloth.

„ If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth to

remove excess liquid. Wipe the surface of the display to remove dirt. Then use a dry cloth of the same type

to dry.

„ Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingers or hard objects of any kind.

„ Do not use volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinners.

Cabinet Cleaning Instructions

„ If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.

„ If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak a lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring

the cloth to remove as much moisture possible. Wipe the cabinet. Use another dry cloth to

wipe over until the surface is dry.

„ Do not allow any water or detergent to come into contact with the surface of the display. If water or mois-

ture gets inside the unit, operating problems, electrical and shock hazards may result.

„ Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with fingers or hard objects of any kind.

„ Do not use volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinners on the cabinet.

„ Do not place articles made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any extended periods of time.

Avoid Still Images

„ Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for extended periods of time. This can cause a

permanent image to remain on the plasma display. Examples of still images may include:

still computer images, still video game images, still logos or pictures, text and images dis-

played in 4:3 Normal mode.
