    							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 digital surround
    audio, and new services such as multicasting (transmitting more than one program on the same 
    TV channel) and datacasting. 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.
    •HDTVprogram formats include 1080-line interlaced (1080i) and 720-line progressive (720p). 
    Both HDTV formats are always broadcast in widescreen, and offer much higher picture quality than
    SDTV.
    •Dolby Surround 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 DD 5.1 soundtracks.

    							CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs
    CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs are the products of a new digital cable standard. 
    This new standard is called OpenCable and it is a concerted effort to standardize the digital cable 
    service network interface in North America. For more information, please refer to www.cablelabs.com.
    Digital Cable Ready TVs are equipped with a proper digital cable tuner to receive digital cable signals 
    from your local cable service provider. They are also designed to work with digital cable card modules 
    (PCMCIA card modules called CableCARDs). These PCMCIA card modules or CableCARDs will be 
    provided by your local cable service provider after a proper subscription process.
    The provided CableCARD from your local cable service provider needs to be inserted into the 
    CableCARD slot of a Digital Cable Ready TV. Please refer to page 21 for how to insert the CableCARD.
    A digital set-top box which used to be provided by the cable service provider is no longer needed with 
    Digital Cable Ready TVs and CableCARDs.
    When CableCARD is inserted into the slot, the TV screen will show the message that CableCARD is 
    inserted and tries to download necessary data such as channel information or subscription information 
    from your digital cable service provider. When you insert CableCARD for the first time, this process 
    may take a few minutes depending on the amount of data your cable provider needs to send. 
    During this process the digital cable service provider or CableCARD may display messages on the TV 
    screen to help or give you further information.
    Please contact your local cable provider for more information on service availability and how to 
    acquire a CableCARD.

    							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 antenna.
    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 Internet
    web sites such as www.titantv.com, www.10000watts.com, and www.fcc.gov.
    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 signal 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.
    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 currently 
    incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will still need to use an outdoor 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.
    5. I hear a Clicking sound in standby mode.
    You will hear the sound if you have set both ANTENNA (Air) and Cable to “Yes” in the TV Guide
    On Screen
    TMSetup.
    However, do not worry about this since the sound comes from inside your TV while it receives data
    for your TV Guide.
