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
1
When theTV is powered on for the first time you will be prompted to auto install the TV in order toreceive the channels
that are broadcasted locally.
2
3
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.
4
5
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.
6
7
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.
Pressing the Ana/Dig button on the remote control toggles theTV between Digital and Analog Mode.

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.

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.

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
