A Guide to Digital TV  
What is Digital Television?  
Digital television (DTV) is a new way of transmitting high quality video and audio to your  
TV set. Using DTV, broadcasters can transmit high definition TV (HDTV) images, Dolby digi-  
tal surround audio, and new services such as multicasting (transmitting more than one pro-  
gram on the same TV channel) and datacasting (providing electronic program guides and  
interactive television). Several of these services can be combined into a single digital  
broadcast.  
Digital Television Services  
Digital Picture Quality  
DTV programs are transmitted in two different formats. The first is Standard Definition  
Television (SDTV) and the second is High Definition Television (HDTV).  
SDTV program formats include 480-line interlaced (480i) and 480-line progressive (480p)  
video. 480i programs are essentially a digital version of our current analog TV programs,  
while the 480p format offers improved image detail over 480i. Some 480p programs are  
broadcast in widescreen and are comparable to progressive-scan DVD movies in image  
quality.  
HDTV program formats include 1080-line interlaced (1080i) and 720-line progressive  
(720p). Both HDTV formats are always broadcast in widescreen, and both offer much  
higher picture quality than SDTV.  
Dolby Digital Sound  
With DTV, you can listen to a variety of Dolby digital audio formats from Dolby Surround  
2.0 to Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, using your home audio system. Many HDTV programs  
are now broadcast with Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks.  
Interactive Communications and Datacasting  
DTV will allow you to interact with your television; choosing programs from a detailed pro-  
gram guide, ordering products on-line while watching TV, and accessing ancillary data  
about a program.

How to View Digital Television  
There are three ways to watch DTV. The first is to use an integrated digital TV; one with a  
built-in digital television tuner. The second is to connect an external DTV set-top receiver to  
a DTV-ready television or monitor. This type of TV or monitor will have wideband compo-  
nent video and stereo audio inputs. You can also watch DTV signals with personal comput-  
er (PC) tuner cards and computer monitors.  
1. Integrated TVs versus DTV-ready TVs and monitors  
The advantage of an integrated DTV set is that it can tune both analog and digital TV chan-  
nels at the same time. All you'll need to do is add an external antenna and you are ready  
to watch DTV.  
However, integrated DTV sets are not as common as DTV-ready TVs and monitors. If you  
already own a DTV-ready TV with component video inputs, you can enjoy DTV broadcasts  
by simply adding a low-cost DTV set-top receiver and antenna.  
2. Using your existing analog TV set  
Your analog TV set can be used to view down-converted DTV broadcasts by connecting the  
DTV set-top receiver to your composite (yellow RCA jack) or S-video (black circular jack)  
AV inputs, as well as connecting stereo audio inputs. While the picture quality won't be as  
good as you'd see on a DTV-ready TV set, it will be as good or slightly better than analog  
TV broadcasts.  
3. Using a personal computer and monitor  
There are plug-in cards available that will receive and display DTV broadcasts on your  
computer monitor. In addition, many computer monitors will display one or more of the  
DTV program formats directly. The most compatible format is 480p, which is similar to the  
VGA (640x480 pixel) computer display standard. You may be able to watch DTV broad-  
casts by connecting a computer monitor to the 15-pin jack on the rear of the set-top DTV  
receiver.

Q&A  
1. Is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?  
Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and  
works well with many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channel assignments  
are different than analog channels. You should find out whether your local DTV broadcasts  
are on VHF (channels 2-13) or UHF (channels 14-69) to see if you need a different anten-  
na.  
If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already get good UHF reception, your present  
antenna may work fine. The same holds true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some  
markets, both VHF and UHF channels are used for DTV broadcasts.  
You can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected  
2. How difficult is it to receive DTV signals indoors?  
This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and how  
close your location is to the transmission tower. DTV receivers do not require as much sig-  
nal as analog TV receivers to produce high-quality images and sound.  
Once the DTV signal level exceeds a certain threshold at the receiver, the digital video and  
audio data is decoded at the same quality it was originally encoded for broadcast. This is  
a big advantage for DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting, static, or scratchy  
audio.  
3. How can I connect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative apartment, condominium,  
or apartment?  
The Federal Communications Commission's OTARD Rule (part of the Telecommunications  
Act of 1996) allows residents of condominiums, townhouse, or members of neighborhood  
associations to put up outside antennas for reception of broadcast TV signals as long as  
those antennas are not located in common areas and are no more than 12' in height.  
Residents of rental units (apartments, etc) are not covered by the OTARD rules and will  
have to use indoor antennas to receive DTV broadcasts. It is possible that the landlord of  
an apartment complex can provide broadcast DTV signals via a master TV antenna system  
to each apartment.

Q&A  
4. Can I connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service?  
Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is current-  
ly incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will still need to use an out-  
door or indoor antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs.  
The good news is that you won’t have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch  
OTA DTV and HDTV programs. They’re free, unlike subscription satellite TV or premium  
cable TV. All you need is an antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy clear, sharp  
widescreen images and high-quality audio.

Troubleshooting  
If you have difficulty with your digital TV set-top receiver, there are several possibilities you  
should investigate before calling for a service technician.  
Problem  
Possible Solution  
Intermittent signal, or no signal  
at all.  
Try another channel.  
Make sure the antenna is connected.  
If a powered antenna, turn the power boost on.  
You may also want to rotate the antenna for a  
stronger signal, using the tri-state LED indicator on  
the front of your tuner as a guide.  
Poor sound quality, or no  
sound.  
Make sure audio connections are correct.  
Try another channel - sometimes broadcasters  
have problems with DTV audio encoding.  
Make sure the MUTE button on your TV is off.  
Try both analog and digital (coaxial, optical)  
audio connections.  
No color, or wrong colors.  
Make sure you have connected the DTV set-top  
receiver correctly to your DTV-ready or analog TV  
set.  
For a three-wire component connection, match the  
red, green, and blue cables from the set-top  
receiver to your TV.  
Remote control doesn’t work  
correctly.  
Make sure you have fresh batteries installed the  
correct way in your remote. Also, select the correct  
remote command mode to DTV or STB.  
The DTV set-top receiver won’t  
turn on.  
Make sure the receiver’s power plug is installed  
and that the AC outlet is working.  
Check the batteries in the remote control to make  
sure they are fresh and installed correctly.
