IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: PLEASE ADHERE TO ALL WARNINGS ON THE PRODUCT AND IN THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
BEFORE OPERATING THE PRODUCT, PLEASE READ ALL OF THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
RETAIN THIS LITERATURE FOR REFERENCE. Follow all instructions...
15. If an outside antenna is connected to the televi-
sion equipment, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static
charges. In the U.S. Selection 810-21 of the
National Electrical Code 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, location of antenna dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrodes.
18. "Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus."
19. When the MAINS plug is used as the disconnect
device, the disconnect device shall remain
readily operable.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE,
ANSI/NFPA 70
16. An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electrical light or power circuits, or where
it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.
“Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and,
in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as prac-
tical.”
17. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recom-
mended by the manufacturer.

GLOSSARY OF CABLES
Audio Cables—Provides analog left/right
audio for your external equipment
connections.
75 Ohm Coaxial Cable with F-Connector—
Used to connect a signal to your digital or
Analog RF Antenna In terminal.
Coaxial Digital Audio—Use this cable to
connect the DTV‘s digital audio output to a
multichannel audio receiver.
Component: Y, Pb, Pr—Use these cables to
connect your component equipment. This
connection provides the best picture, but does
not include sound. (Cable colors: Y = green, Pb
= blue, and Pr = red.)
S-Video Cable—This cable provides separate
luminance and color signals for higher resolu-
tion and better picture quality. Use this cable
instead of the regular composite video cable
(RCA type), when available.
Composite Audio/Video (RCA type)—Use
these cables for standard analog audio/video
connections. Normally cables are color coded:
Yellow for Video, White for (L) Audio, and Red
for (R) Audio.
NOTE: None of these cables are supplied with this
DTV.

Letter Box—This term is used to describe a 16:9 ratio image being
displayed on a 4:3 ratio display device. Black bands appear at the top
and bottom of the screen.
standard for televisions.
Aspect Ratio—The ratio of the width to the height of a TV screen
independent of the screen size (x units wide by x units high). Analog
is 4:3; Digital can be 4:3 or 16:9 (also called wide screen).
MPEG2—A compression scheme for moving images and audio. It
was developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group. This makes
HDTV and multicasting possible.
ATSC—Advanced Television Systems Committee
Multicasting—The dividing of a station’s broadcast signal into sub-
channels of programming or data services. The resolution of the
main channel must be reduced to make room for sub-channels.
AV Jacks—Audio Video Jacks
Bandwidth—The range of frequencies assigned to a broadcast
channel. A TV channel is 6 MHz wide.
NTSC—National Television Systems Committee
Component Jacks (Y Pb Pr)—Green, Blue, and Red video jacks
that accept 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i signals. By separating the
Green (Y), Blue (Pb), and Red (Pr) video signal components, clearer,
more-defined images that exceed the performance of S-Video and
Composite video jacks are achieved.
Pillar Boxing—This term is used to describe a 4:3 ratio image being
displayed on a 16:9 ratio display device. Black bars (or pillars)
appear at the sides of the screen.
Pixel—Picture Element
Composite Jacks—White, Red, and Yellow AV jacks. The White
and Red jacks carry the Left and Right audio signals while the
Yellow jack carries the composite video signal.
Progressive Scanning—The process of scanning lines sequentially.
One scan produces one frame of video (or one complete image).
Set-Top Box (STB)—A device that receives and converts signals for
display on a television screen (can be digital or analog). Many digital
STBs have cable and over-the-air tuners.
Dolby® Digital (Formally known as Dolby AC-3)—A 5.1 channel
(Front L/R, Rear L/R, Center, and Bass) surround sound audio
standard for digital television.
SDTV—Standard-Definition TV (480i)
Downconverting—The removal of pixels. Frame rate and/or scan-
ning format may also change. Broadcasters may use this process to
make room in their bandwidth for additional services, such as,
sub-channels.
Signal—The picture, sound, and data transmitted or received
through the air to an antenna, over a Cable TV system, from a Satel-
lite to a dish and receiver, or between external components of an
Audio/Video system.
DTV (Digital Television)—Comprises four elements, HDTV,
Simulcast—Simultaneously broadcasting the same program on two
or more channels. This is required by the FCC during the transition
from analog to digital. Simulcasting is scheduled to end and only
digital broadcasts will continue after February 17, 2009.
EDTV, SDTV, and Multicasting.
DVI—Digital Visual Interface. A pure digital video interface that
can pass standard-definition and high-definition video signals. It
supports the HDCP copy protection standard, allowing transmission
of copy-protected digital content.
S-Video Jack—A round 4-pin jack that accepts separated luminance
and chroma signals from a DVD player, Super VHS VCR, or similar
analog device. The resolution of this input exceeds that of a com-
posite video input (yellow connector), but is lesser than the
resolution of component inputs (Y Pb Pr).
EDTV—Enhanced-Definition TV (480p)
HDMI—High-Definition Multimedia Interface. An all digital
audio/video interface that accepts uncompressed video signals for
the very best picture possible. It supports the HDCP copy protection
standard, allowing transmission of copy-protected digital content.
The signal can also include Dolby® Digital or PCM audio, when
available.
Terrestrial—An over-the-air broadcast to an antenna.
Upconverting—A process of converting original analog program-
ming to digital for DTV broadcasting. Pixels may be duplicated and
inserted between existing pixels to simulate HDTV. This does not
increase the resolution. The resolution of an image is set during the
recording process. It cannot be increased through conversion
processes.
HDTV—High-Definition TV (720p, 1080i, & 1080p)
Input / Output Jacks—Used to receive (input) and send (output)
signals from one device to another. Such as, from a DVD player
(Output) to the TV (Input).
Wide Screen—Used to describe a 16:9 or greater aspect ratio. 16:9
is the standard aspect ratio for HDTV digital displays. Movies
screens are often slightly wider.
Interlaced Scanning—The process of scanning two fields of video
then combining (interlacing) them to make one frame of video (or
one complete image).

7. When I do a channel search some of my digital channels
disappear. What is wrong?
Many digital stations are not on-the-air 24 hours a day. After
doing the initial channel search, always use the menu system
to perform a “Digital Add-on Search” to add new digital chan-
nels, so that stations not on-the-air during the search will not
be erased.
15. What is the recommended method for
cleaning the cabinet and screen?
Clean the cabinet with a soft-dry cloth.
Clean the screen using a damp-soft-cotton
cloth.
8. There is no picture, sound is ok?
Check appropriate video connection to make sure it corre-
sponds to the audio connection being used. If the sound is
associated with component jacks on a DVD player, it may be
necessary to access the DVD menu to select the component
outputs or S-Video output.
