INFORMATION ON
DIGITAL TLELVISION
Digital Television
In April 1997, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that
by 2006, all television broadcasting will be digital. However, Television stations
are required to continue broadcasting regular TV signals along side the digital
signals until 2006. Cable and satellite TV are not affected by the FCC ruling.
According to the FCC, digital broadcasting must be available from each of the
four major networks in each of the top ten markets, covering 30% of
households by May 1999. By the end of 1999, it must be available in the top 30
markets, covering 50% of households.
The FCC has allocated to each of the broadcasters a fixed amount of
transmitting “space” for digital programming. At the highest resolution, High
Definition (HDTV), one (1) or two (2) programs can be transmitted within this
“space”. At lower resolutions, Standard Definition (SDTV), several programs
can be simultaneously transmitted. Broadcasters will choose their own
broadcast formats. For example, they may choose to broadcast day programs
in SDTV and night sports and movies in HDTV. Digital Television (DTV)
broadcasting will deliver crystal-clear pictures, approaching the quality of 35mm
movies, and compact disc (CD) sound.
HDTV (High Definition Television)
HDTV signal formats are 1080i (interlaced scan) and 720p (progressive scan).
HDTV provides the highest resolution picture and audio in either stereo or 5.1
channel surround sound.
SDTV (Standard Definition Television)
SDTV signal formats are 480p and 480i. SDTV provides lower resolution, yet
presents a very sharp clear picture. Lower resolution allows broadcasters to
transmit multiple programs per channel.
Digital Broadcasting and Cable TV
The FCC has not mandated any standards for cable operators or satellite
broadcasters at the time this manual is printed. Some cable companies have
announced plans to introduce digital cable boxes into their markets. They may
choose, however, to use the digital capability to increase the number of
channels HDTV programming.
Contact your local cable provider to determine if digital cable is available
and whether a cable box is needed for converting the signals.
Receiving Digital Broadcasts
Most households will be able to receive a digital broadcast by regular antenna
with VHF/UHF reception capability. However, like regular TV signals, it will
Macro Image Technology,inc
depend on location, terrain and environmental factors. Outdoor or attic
antennas will generally be more effective than a set-top antenna. For cable,
check with your local cable provider to find out if they will carry the DTV signal
in your area.
Digital Picture Formats
DTV supports eighteen (18) Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC) *
display formats, which are variations of the four (4) following formats : 1080i
(interlaced), 720p (progressive), 480p (progressive) and 480i (interlaced). The
larger the number means the higher the resolution of the picture.
Interlaced Scan
For interlaced pictures, the odd number lines (picture information) are scanned,
creating field 2. The two fields are interlaced to provide the entire image (one
frame). This process takes 1/30th of a second and is invisible to human eye.
Progressive Scan
For progressive pictures, all lines in an entire frame are scanned sequentially in
th
1/60 of a second. With progressive scan, you will generally not see the thin
black horizontal scan lines (venetian blind effect) associated with an interlaced
picture.
Digital Audio
For all HDTV formats, Dolby** Digital surround sound (also commonly
referred to as AC-3** or DD 5.1) is the audio standard. AC-3 will provide
CD-quality sound. The system provides 3 separate audio channels for the front
speakers (left, center, right), 2 channels for the rear surround sound speakers,
plus one channel for subwoofer sound. You will need an external audio system
capable of decoding the AC-3 encoded sound to get the full surround sound
effect. Otherwise, it can be connected directly to your TV or audio system
using only the stereo (left/fight) audio outputs.
Note: The stereo audio outputs are Dolby Surround compatible. You can
connect a Dolby Surround Pro Logic** decoder (not included) to the stereo
audio outputs and receive surround sound.

Antenna
Orientation
Installation and
In many areas, an indoor antenna can be used to receive DTV signals. Certain
conditions, however, create a situation where an outdoor antenna is required.
Tall buildings, large metal objects (e.g., a water tower) or hills may block the
line-or-sight to the station and interfere with DTV signal reception. Keep the
followings in mind when installing and orienting your outdoor antenna. For
additional information about antennas, see the Consumer Electronics
Manufacturing Association (CEMA) website at www.cemacity.org .
- Choose an antenna with directional receiving characteristics such as a Yagi,
log periodic, or reflector antenna. Avoid loop, wire bowtie, rabbit-ear and omnidirectional antennas.
- Use good grade 75 Ohm coax (round) cable to connect the antenna to the
STB. Do not use 300 Ohm flat twin-lead cable.
- Place the antenna away from large metal objects. If using an indoor antenna,
remember that aluminum siding and foil-covered insulation can greatly reduce
the signal strength inside your house.
- Point the antenna in the direction of the TV station. Allow a 4-6 second delay
in tuning. Watch for a program to appear on the TV. If the signal indicator is
“NO SIGNAL” or if a program comes and goes, try a slightly different for the
antenna. Slowly raising or lowering the antenna by a few feet may help.
- Avoid standing in front of the antenna while adjusting its position. Move a few
feet to the rear to avoid changing the signal characteristics.
- If you are located in an area serviced by two (2) different DTV stations in
different directions, you may need an antenna rotator to receive signals from
both stations.

Channel and Program Tuning
Channel and program tuning in digital television is very different from current
conventional television. In DTV, Up to six (6) multiple programs can exist within
a single 6 MHz channel. These programs behave as subchannels within the
single channel. When tuning to a channel, the STB will also tune to a program.
Your STB will indicate the channel and program through the on-screen Channel
Banner display.
Channel and Program Tuning
The STB allows channel and program selection in the following ways:
Direct Tuning (0~9 Keys) – Tunes directly to a channel or program.
Channel Up/Down Tuning (▲ or ▼ buttons) - Tunes to the next or
previous available channel or program.
Next Program Tuning (SUB-CH button) – Tunes to the next program within a
single 6 MHz channel.
Next Program Tuning
The SUB -CH button on the remote control allows you to select programs withi n
a single 6 MHz channel. Each time the SUB-CH buttons is pressed, the STB
will move to the next available program within the channel.
Note: Only programs within the current 6 MHz channel can be selected using
the SUB -CH button. If only one (1) program appears, it indicates only one (1)
