Choosing the AV connection to use When connecting optional audiovisual (AV) equipment as signal sources, the connectors on the equipment may limit the type of connection you can use. When your optional equipment has more than one type of output connector, choose the connection that provides the best-quality playback image. The following table lists the available optional AV equipment connections on the TV. The procedures that follow describe how to connect optional equipment for each type of AV connection, including the audio connections when applicable. AV connection to use, in order of decreasing video playback quality (best to good) Connection description TV connector Cable plug HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) transmits an all-digital signal. This is the recommended choice for high-definition signals, and for playback from a digital set-top box, DVD player, or DVR device. For a DVI-D device, you can use a DVI cable with a DVI-to-HDMI converter to connect video to the HDMI 1 connector on the TV, and an audio cable to connect audio from the source to the Audio In L and R connectors on the TV. Use this connection for standard or high-definition video signals in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p input format from a set-top box, DVD player, or other device. This TV does not support Dolby Digital audio input over HDMI. When connecting a set-top box, DVD player, or other device by means of the HDMI connector, set the device audio output to PCM format. Component video (Y, Pb, and Pr) transmits video as separate red, green, and blue signals. Use this connection for standard or high-definition video signals in 480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i format from a DVD player or other equipment. S-Video transmits standard video as separate color and black-and-white image signals, and delivers a sharper image than a composite video connection. Video In (composite video) transmits standard video as a single signal.10 HP MediaSmart HDTV User Guide Connecting the TV signal sources The following is an explanation of the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable.If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, screw it onto the ANT/Cable In connector at the rear of the TV set.■ A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with an F-type connector that can easily be attached to a connector without tools (sold separately).■ A 300-ohm system is a flat, twin-lead cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm connector through a 300/75-ohm adapter (sold separately).A 75-ohm coaxial cable, roundB 300-ohm twin-lead cable, flatC F-type connector Connecting the cable TV or air broadcast antenna Use standard 75-ohm coaxial cable to connect a ground antenna or cable TV input source to the TV.

G General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family; contains very little violence—physical, verbal, or emotional. PG Parental guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8), because it could contain controversial themes or issues. 14+ Over 14 years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of the storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme. 18+ Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older, and might contain depictions of violence, which, while related to the development of plot, character, or themes, are intended for adult viewing.

You can also turn captioning on or off using the CC button on the remote control. Your TV is equipped with an internal closed caption decoder that enables you to view conversations, narration, and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed captions are available on some TV programs, and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election of the program provider. Digital Closed Caption is a caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the election of the program provider). It is a more flexible system than the original closed caption system, because it allows a variety of font sizes and styles in the captions. Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captioning. Look for the symbol to ensure that captions appear. In the closed caption system, more than one caption service can be provided. Each is identified by its own number. CC1 through CC4 services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program picture. The Text1 through Text4 services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed, such as weather or news. These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed. ■ Depending on the number of caption services in the signal being received, you will see information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed. 1/2 means “the first of two services.” Example: If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1, and Text1), the closed caption display toggles in sequence. ■ The CC button stores in memory a record of the last service selected. If the last closed caption mode that you selected is not available for the next program, or on another channel, the closed caption service that is available is automatically selected, and this service appears in parentheses. Closed caption services that appear in parentheses are not retained in the CC button memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are retained.

If the signal source equipment is connected to the TV at an HDMI or a component video connection, closed caption information may not always be available, because the source equipment may not pass the information to the TV across these connections.64 HP MediaSmart HDTV User Guide The defaults for closed caption may be specified by the broadcasting station. Using the Style option The Style option sets the appearance of closed caption text: ■ Font Size sets the caption size: Small, Standard, or Large. ■ Font Style sets a preset or user-defined caption style. ■ FG (Foreground) Color sets the text color.■ BG (Background) Color sets the background color. ■ FG (Foreground) Opacity sets the text opacity.■ BG (Background) Opacity sets the background opacity. ■ Edge Style sets a preset edge style. Selecting the OSD Language You can use the OSD Language option to set the language for the onscreen display.

Devices such as monitors, tuners, and integrated monitor/tuner combinations are designed to handle any of the 18 formats officially sanctioned by the industry-led standard setter, Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), for the digital transmission of video signals. There are three subgroups of digital televisions depending on their capabilities: high-definition (HDTV), enhanced-definition (EDTV), and standard-definition (SDTV). In contrast, U.S. analog television has been available for over 50 years in the single National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) format. This is the signal format that has been broadcast over the air and through cable systems. NTSC television offers slightly more than 480 interlaced lines of resolution. To view high-definition programming, your TV must receive high-definition signals by means of a high-definition signal source connected to the television. The source can be an off-the-air high-definition antenna or cable HD signal, or an HD source, such as a cable or satellite provider HD set-top box, an HD-DVD player, and so on. All sources, except an HD antenna or cable HD signal, must connect to one of the High Definition Input connector sets on the rear of the TV. Your cable or satellite provider may require additional purchase for high-definition programming; off-the-air high-definition broadcasts may not be available in all areas. What is the difference between progressive and interlaced signal formats for digital TVs? There are 18 standard digital TV signal formats. Each provides a different picture quality. The names of these digital TV formats consist of a number followed by either p (progressive) or i (interlaced). The letter refers to the way the TV uses the signals to create the picture: ■ Progressive (p) scanning presents all the horizontal lines of the picture in one frame. This provides a sharper picture to the eye, and looks much better than an interlaced image of the same resolution. ■ Interlaced (i) means that the picture appears in two segments; every other horizontal line of the picture is displayed in one frame, and the other half of the horizontal lines are displayed in the next frame. This works because it happens so fast that the eye is deceived into believing that only one picture is being shown. The number in the names of the formats refers to the number of lines of resolution. Generally speaking, the higher the number, the better the picture. For example, with digital TV (DTV), there are two progressive formats for broadcasters to choose from: 480p and 720p. 480p has 480 horizontal scan lines. Although the 480p image is much sharper than a regular TV broadcast, it is considered only a DTV signal and not a true high-definition signal. 720p has 720 horizontal scan lines and is considered to be true HDTV. 720p can rival a 1080i picture, in which 1080 horizontal scan lines are displayed as an interlaced image. The sharper and more accurate (progressive) 720p picture looks better, even though a 1080i picture has many more scan lines and a much higher resolution.80 HP MediaSmart HDTV User Guide What is variable aspect ratio? The aspect ratio describes the relationship of screen width to screen height. Standard TV signals are based on an aspect ratio of 4:3 (four units wide by three units high). HDTV signals are based on an aspect ratio of 16:9, making the image 33 percent wider than a normal TV, and enabling you to view TV and movies as if you were watching them in a theater. In addition, many DVD movies look better on the widescreen display, because most of the movies made in the last 50 years were filmed in an aspect ratio of either 1.85:1 (very close to 16:9, which is equal to 1.78:1) or 2.35:1 (even wider than 16:9). Variable aspect ratio support enables the scaling of 4:3 and anamorphic video so that the image fills the screen. What is HDMI? High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/ video interface. HDMI components can transmit both digital audio and digital video over a single cable, with improved quality over traditional analog connections because of an all-digital transmission. Transferring digital sources, such as DVDs and HDTV programming, can now be accomplished without analog conversions that can degrade the original signal.Finding Answers to Questions Finding Answers to Questions 81 Identifying Cable Usage The following table lists all of the cable types that are available for the TV. It shows a side view of each, along with its connector. Cable type/ connection Description HDMI Capable of transmitting both uncompressed digital audio and digital video signals, because it has video, audio, and control signals. DVI DVI-D DVI-I DVI requires use of a separate audio cable. DVI-D transmits digital video signals. DVI-D can be used with a DVI-to-HDMI converter to connect to an HDMI connector on the TV. DVI-I transmits both digital and analog video signals. DVI-I can be used only with a DVI-to-VGA converter to connect a PC to the PC Input (VGA) connector on the TV.

Cable type/ connection Description (Continued) AIR INFinding Answers to Questions Finding Answers to Questions 83 Answering MediaSmart TV frequently asked questions Do I need a Media Center PC to use my MediaSmart TV? No, a Media Center PC is not required. Your MediaSmart TV works with any PC that supports Windows Media Player 11 or other UPnP-compliant program. The MediaSmart TV has its own interface and can connect directly to many Internet services. Also, the MediaSmart TV shows television or content from a connected DVD or other device just like a regular TV does. However, the MediaSmart TV works well with a Media Center PC, and can play recorded HDTV shows and protected content. Why does MediaSmart TV use Windows Media Player? Windows Media Player file sharing is based on Industry standards (UPnP) and is widely used. It is easy to install, set up, and use, and it supports digital rights management, which enables access to premium online content. What version of Windows Media Player works with the MediaSmart TV? The MediaSmart TV supports Windows Media Player 11.0. If you have an earlier version of WMP, you can get a free download of version 11.0 from the Microsoft Windows Media Player Web site. Can my MediaSmart TV software be updated? Yes, MediaSmart TV firmware (software) is automatically updated as needed when the TV has access to the Internet. Can MediaSmart TV play AAC format and other music file types? Yes, your MediaSmart TV can play music files in a variety of formats, including unprotected AAC files. For supported music file types, see “Supported Media File Types” on page 89. What is the wireless type to use to stream video to my MediaSmart TV? The quality of streaming video over wireless depends on many factors, such as the bitrate of the original video, the reception quality, and the access point. For best quality over wireless, HP recommends using an access point that supports IEEE 802.11n. IEEE 802.11a or 802.11g are the second choice. IEEE 802.11b access points work well for audio and picture streaming, but are not recommended for video because of bandwidth limitations. Can I play recorded TV shows or downloaded shows or movies from my Media Center PC on my MediaSmart TV? Microsoft Media Center PCs record TV programs in a proprietary format called dvr-ms. Your MediaSmart TV supports playback of dvr-ms files. If you do not see your dvr-ms files in the Windows Media Player Library, you may need to install the MediaSmart software from the Installation CD; see “Setting up a wired or wireless connection” on page 25. For supported video file types, see “Supported Media File Types” on page 89.84 HP MediaSmart HDTV User Guide Can I stream a DVD movie from my PC to the MediaSmart TV? No, because the MediaSmart TV can only access digital media exported by the media server (Windows Media Player). Due to copyright and legal issues, WMP does not export the VOB files used in DVDs. However, if you have the DVD disc, you can play it through a DVD player you connect directly to the MediaSmart TV. See “Connecting a DVD player, VCR, DVR, game console, or camcorder” on page 13 for more information. How do I create an account for my online service? Use your PC to access the Internet to create all your online accounts before you log in for the first time using your MediaSmart TV.

The Codec (compressor and decompressor) is the method used to compress and decompress digital media files. Audio/video streams usually incorporate two separate codecs: one for the compressed video and one for the compressed audio. The MPEG codecs include profiles and levels, which are the minimum processing requirements for a compliant decoder. Examples of codecs are: ■ JPEG: Used by almost all digital cameras to compress digital images. ■ MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4: Audio and video codecs developed by International Standards Technical committees. ■ VC-1: A video codec developed by Microsoft.■ Dolby Digital: An audio codec used in DVD movies and in high-definition broadcasting. The File container is the type of file that the digital bit stream is stored in, regardless of the codec used. File containers have a specific structure, which helps decoders identify the codecs necessary for playback. File containers may support multiple codecs, and may also include media metadata, DRM (digital rights management) keys, and other stream-related parameters. Examples of file containers are: ■ AVI (.avi)■ Quicktime (.mov)■ MP4 (.mp4)■ WMV (.wmv)■ DivX (.divx)■ Mpeg (.mpg) Popular codecs ■ MPEG codecs. The Motion Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) has developed a variety of A/V codecs, including: ■ MPEG-1, which is used in VCD movies.■ MPEG-2, which includes the audio codecs MPEG-2 Layer II (MP2) and MPEG-2 Layer III (MP3), and which is used in DVDs, in HDTV, and in many movie download services. ■ MPEG-4, part 2, which is the basis for DivX, Xvid, and other low bit-rate codecs. ■ MPEG-4, part 10, or H.264, or Advanced Video Codec (AVC), which is the basis for HD-DVD and Blu-ray formats. It is also the default video codec in iTunes. ■ AAC (Advanced Audio Codec, also known as MPEG-2, part 7, or MPEG-4, part 3), is the default audio codec in iTunes. With MPEG-2, MPEG introduced for the first time the concept of profiles and levels. Profiles and levels define the minimum processing requirements for a compliant decoder. For example: ■ DVD movies use MPEG-2 at Main profile and Main Level (or MPEG-2 MP@ML). ■ HDTV uses a subset of Main profile at High Level (MP@HL). ■ Two of the most common profiles for MPEG-4,

part 2, are the Simple Profile (SP) and the

Advanced Simple Profile (ASP). ■ Windows Media Codecs. Microsoft has developed a number of codecs, including: ■ WMV7 and WMV8, which are early versions of the Microsoft video codec. ■ WMV9, which is the current version of the Microsoft video codec. ■ VC-1, which is the Advanced Profile of the WMV9 codec, and which is needed for support by both Blu-ray and HD-DVD players. ■ WMA (Windows Media Audio), including WMA Pro, which is a multi-channel audio codec.90 HP MediaSmart HDTV User Guide ■ Dolby Digital. Also known as AC3, Dolby Digital forms the basis of multichannel audio coding in HDTV and DVD movies. ■ Divx, Xvid. Popular video codecs based on the MPEG-4, part 2 video standard. Divx includes video codecs rev. 3, 4, 5, and 6. Popular file containers ■ AVI is a popular Audio/Video file format in PC systems. It supports multiple audio and video codecs, including DV, Divx, and MPEG-1/2/4. ■ MP4 file format is based on the Apple Quick Time file format, but is part of the MPEG-4 standard (MPEG-4, part 14). MP4 files use the .mp4 extension and support a variety of codecs, including the audio AAC codec and MPEG-4 (part 2 or part 10) codecs. ■ WMV (Windows Media Video) or ASF (Advanced Streaming Format) are also popular Microsoft media file containers. They support mostly Microsoft-based codecs, such as WMV7/8/9, Windows Media audio (WMA), and VC-1. ■ DVR-MS is a Microsoft file container for storing broadcast TV programming that is recorded by Media Center PCs. ■ Divx is a file container developed by the DivX Corporation. It supports the Divx video codecs (versions 3.0 to 6) that are based on the MPEG-4,

part 2 video codec, and a variety of audio

codecs, including MP2, MP3, Dolby Digital, and raw LPCM data. The divx file format can also support metadata, subtitle tracks, and DRM. ■ Quick Time (.mov or .qt) is a file container developed by Apple. It provided the basis for the MP4 file format that is currently used by iTunes and other media service providers. ■ MPG (.mpg) is the simplest possible file container for an MPEG video with associated audio. It usually supports MPEG-2 video (MP@ML or MP@HL) and MPEG-2, Layer II or Dolby Digital audio. ■ Video Object files, VOB (.vob), are used in DVDs. They include audio, video, menu, and subtitle information. In most cases, renaming a .vob file to an .mpg file is all that is needed to play the file by an MPEG-compliant decoder (without the menu or subtitle information, however). Supported media Your MediaSmart TV does not support all possible codecs. The Table of Supported Media that follows provides details on the codecs and file containers that the MediaSmart TV supports. The UPnP-compliant program you use to stream media to your TV can limit the files that you can stream. Windows Media Player 11 does not show media files that it does not support or that it does not recognize, such as iTunes audio files in MP4 (AAC) format, photos in Bitmap format (.bmp) or Graphics Interchange Format (.gif), or Media Center recorded TV programs in Microsoft Video Recording format (.dvr-ms). For example, your MediaSmart TV supports the playback of dvr-ms files, but Windows Media Player 11 may not. If you do not see your dvr-ms files in the Windows Media Player Library, you may need to install the MediaSmart software from the Installation CD; see “Setting up a wired or wireless connection” on page 25.Specifications Specifications 91 Table of Supported Media File extension Video/picture codec Audio codecs DRM support Photos only .jpg JPEG N/A .png PNG N/A .bmp BMP N/A .tif TIF N/A .gif GIF N/A Music only .m4a N/A AAC No Fairplay .mp3 N/A MP3 .wma N/A WMA, WMA Pro Yes .wave N/A LPCM .ogg N/A Vorbis OGG Audio/video .avi Divx, xvid (MPEG-4, ASP) MP2, MP3, Dolby Digital (2ch, 5.1ch) Divx DRM .divx Up to rev. 6.0 (MPEG-4 ASP) MP2, MP3, Dolby Digital (2ch, 5.1ch) Divx DRM .dvr-ms MPEG-2 video MP2, Dolby Digital (2ch, 5.1ch) .mp4 MPEG-4, part 2, H.264 (BP@L3) up to 720p 30 MP@L4 up to 720p 60 AAC, MP2, MP3 No Fairplay .mov MPEG-4, part 2, H.264 .mpg MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (up to MP@HL) MP2, LPCM, Dolby Digital .wmv/asf WMV9, VC-1 WMA, WMA Pro MS DRM .m2t/.ts MPEG-2 (TS) (up to MP@HL) MP2, LPCM, Dolby Digital92 HP MediaSmart HDTV User GuideTroubleshooting Troubleshooting 93 Troubleshooting Refer to this section if you have startup, viewing, picture, sound, or remote control problems with your TV.
