BP68-00545AEng 10/18/05 5:53 PM Page 2 Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view standard format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving.
BP68-00545AEng 10/18/05 5:53 PM Page 3 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 (providing electronic program guides and interactive television).
BP68-00545AEng 10/18/05 5:53 PM Page 4 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 component video and stereo audio inputs. You can also watch DTV signals with personal computer (PC) tuner cards and computer monitors.
BP68-00545AEng 10/18/05 5:53 PM Page 5 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.
