Features of digital broadcasting

Digital broadcasting uses the newest broadcasting technology such as compression of audio and video signals and provides much more improved image and sound quality than analog broadcasting. For image quality, digital broadcasting have realized the High Definition Television (HDTV) that can display sharper and finer images than Standard Definition Television (SDTV) with double scanning lines, and can adopt the 16:9 wide screen format that fits more to range of human vision.

For audio quality, digital broadcasting offers the 5.1ch surround broadcast to give you the feeling of being at a stadium or a theater.

In addition, digital broadcasting enables to broadcast 2 or 3 programs of Standard Definition Television (SDTV), which is the analog television format, at the same time by 1 channel. This feature has made the program planning more diversified. In addition, digital broadcasting has overcome problems experienced with analog television such as ghosting or interference with digital technology.

Minor channel of digital broadcasting

In digital broadcasting, the selected channel can have the sub channel. It is called the minor channel. Though the minor channel programs provide a little poorer image quality than the High Definition Television (HDTV) programs, they have such an advantage as it will not move back other programs even when a sport relay is extended.

NOTAS:

TV

(Secondary Audio Program)

You are kindly requested to read the additional instruction below.

CONNECTION

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ANTENNA

As DTV is only available over the air, you need an antenna to receive digital signal.

[ANTENNA / BASIC CABLE CONNECTION]

When connecting TV to antenna *For digital signal

1) Connect the RF cable or antenna cable on your home outlet to the ANT. IN jack of this TV.

When connecting TV to basic cable (without box) *For analog reception only

1) Connect the RF cable or incoming cable on your home outlet to the ANT. IN jack of this TV.

NOTES:

• For your safety and to avoid damages to the unit, unplug the antenna cable from the ANT. IN jack before moving the unit.
• If you use an antenna in order to receive analog TV, the same antenna generally will work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas will be more effective than set-top versions.
• Some cable channels cannot be viewed when the TV is connected to an aerial antenna because DTV program does not cover all cable channels. You can watch them by switching to the cable connected to CATV.
• To easily switch between antenna and cable wires, you can purchase "Antenna Selector" commercially available.

*Once connections are completed, turn on the TV and begin initial setup.

Channel scanning is necessary for the TV to memorize all available channels in your area if using antenna or basic cable. (Refer to "INITIAL AUTO PRESET" on page 13.)
