Thank You for Choosing RCA

Congratulations on purdlasing this RCA t{igh l)efiniti(m "Ik,levision (HD'I%') fi'aturing Texas

Instmn_ents Digital Light Processing® tedmology-a tree viewing experience. Your purchase

decision represents an investment in a new generation of technology-l)LP® and HD'I% 7, Even

though this is a technologically advanced tfD_lY, iF is the most usel_/riendly of its kincl-with

comprehensive on-screen instructions that guide you through all of the 3%'s tk_atures, There are

three mai*'t things about HDTV that bring yon a superior viewing experience: (1) resolntiom (2)

aspect ratio, and (3) digital signal and sound.

Resolution

The crisp, liti_qike picture that people rav_, about when experiencing tree HDTV is due to the

resolution this technology provides, ttDTV is capable of resolution that is up to almost 10 times

the resolution of the l)ictun ' on a regular, analog TV!

4x 3 Aspect Ratio

16 x 9 Aspect Ratio

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio is simply the width and height of the picture, Regular +IAT_use a

x 3 aspect ratio, which means the picture is a little wider than it is tall (a scn'en

that is 20 inches wide is about 15 indies tall).

As TVs dlx)pped in price and people prospered in tile 1950s, the movie industry

created tile 16 x 9 aspect ratio (also called widescreen format) to get people

back to seeing movies, When the standards for HDTV were being developed by

the ATSC (Advanced Television Standards Committee), the 10 x 9 aspect ratio

was chosen as the fiirmat f<ir HDT\,',

This widescreen tormat is nRich closer to the way we see and the plctuR!s are

crisper and cleaner with n/ore detail in the close-tip and p_tnoran/ic views,

Digital Signal and Sound

The analog television broadcast systenl that has been used in the ! nited

States ti>r the past 5(1 years transmits signals _s electronic waves. These waves

can sutt_r degradation as the signal travels to your home. Digital signals, in

contlTaSt to analog signals, can be reDiToduced precisely because the images

are transmitted and received using the computer language of ls and 0s. Such

precision yields a signal that is capable of displaying studio-quality picture and

Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound.

How V-Chip Works for the USA and Canada

V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, "1%:-14,etc.) and content themes [(Violence

(V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that tile

program contains, you will receive the message telling you that tile program is blocked from

viewing.

I_r(>adc islets are not required to prnvide content themes, so Drogr i[ns received \_,ith 11o content

themes xxill only be blocked if yOtl block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs

that have been given all Exelnl)t rating, and progratlis that are considered !lnrated,

Why does the first channel search take a long time?

If you've checked e:lcI/ box in the chamlel search menu the T\,' is looking for all available dmnnels in the _hannel list.

If you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for each subchannel of that digital channel.

How do I control other devices I've connected to the TV?

Wily do I have sound, but 11o picture when Iturn on lny TV?

There is a lamp inside the TV whidl needs approximately one minute to reach filll brightness. You'll hear audio during

this time and the picture increasingly gets brighter as the lamp warms up.

Why are there bars on lily screen and can Iget rid of them?

Analog channels are sent in a 4 x 3 flmnat, which cannot fill a t6 x 9 screen like your TV. Most digital channels are

sent in a 16 x 9 tonllat which do fill your screen, btlt sonletimes are sent in 4 x 3. It depends on how the station or

device connected to your TV is flmnatting the video. Press the ZOOM +/- button to see the different fl>rmats available

that n/av eliminate the bars. Go to page 42 for n/ore infk}nnation on screen format.
