Digital TVs are televisions that can receive and display digital television broadcasts sent using any one of three following categories: HDTV (High Definition TV), EDTV (Enhanced Digital TV), and SDTV (Standard Definition TV). What is the Difference Between HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV? HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV are three grades of television or displays. They reference the maximum resolution capability of a digital television or display to fully display digital broadcasts without having to "down-convert" the actual signal content to fit the display's display limitations. The resolution requirements for each of the three DTV classifications and an explanation of the specifications are described below: Vertical Res.1 Horizontal Res.2 Aspect Ratio3 Scan Method4 1080 lines 1920 dots 16:9 Wide Interlaced 720 lines 1280 dots 16:9 Wide Progressive HDTV grade televisions and displays are capable of displaying a maximum of either 1080 lines using interlaced scan method or 720 lines using progressive scan method. Vertical Res.1 Horizontal Res.2 Aspect Ratio3 Scan Method4 480 lines 640 dots 4:3 Progressive EDTV grade televisions and displays are capable of displaying a maximum of 480 lines using progressive scan method. All resolutions higher than 480 lines must be reduced to 480 lines in order to be displayed. Progressive scan method reduces flicker; however, picture quality may not necessarily outperform 480 interlaced when viewed at normal viewing distances. Vertical Res.1 Horizontal Res.2 Aspect Ratio3 Scan Method4 480 lines 640 dots 4:3 Interlaced SDTV grade televisions and displays are capable of displaying a maximum of 480 lines using interlaced scan method. All resolutions higher than 480 lines must be reduced to 480 lines in order to be displayed. 1 Vertical Resolution (Scan Lines) Vertical scan lines refer to the number of horizontal lines a TV or display can display to create an image. As the number of lines increase, more information is displayed, resulting in better picture quality. 2 Horizontal Resolution Each horizontal line in a TV or display is made up of individual dots (pixels). The higher the number of pixels, the finer the TV picture becomes. Horizontal pixel measurements using today's technology can range from 250 for a VCR to as much as 500 for a DVD player. 3 Aspect Ratio Aspect ratio identifies the ratio of the TV screen's width over its height. A 16:9 aspect ratio refers to a wide-screen picture format, while a 4:3 refers to a standard "square" TV format. 4 Scan Mode Interlaced scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with alternating lines of information and is the cause for flickering. Progressive scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with consecutive lines of information that results in flicker-free picture quality. 17 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS Picture-In-Picture (PIP) / Side-by-Side Picture (POP) Turn On PIP or POP Mode 1. Press the PIP key once on the remote control to engage in PIP mode. Pressing the PIP again will switch to POP mode. Pressing the PIP key sequentially will cycle between: PIP Mode M: TV S: AV Input Source for Main Picture Input Source for Sub Picture Sub Picture Main Picture POP Mode Input Source for Main Picture Input Source for Sub Picture Sub Picture Main Picture 2.

Swapping Main Picture Sub Picture Main Picture Sub Picture All PIP and POP related settings are also accessible using the on-screen Menu display. Please see page 19 for details. 18 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS Picture-In-Picture (PIP) / Side-by-Side Picture (POP) - Con't Notes: PIP mode can only be turned on if the display's input is set to: TV, AV, S-Video, Component 1 and 2. If the display's main input is set to RGB or DVI, the PIP and POP will not function. If the display's input is set to Component 1 or Component 2, the PIP will only turn on if the input signal source is compatible with 15KHz signals such as 480i and Y/CB/CR signals. When changing input source for sub-pictures to Component 1 and Component 2, only 15KHz compatible signals such as 480i and Y/CB/CR will result in a video picture display. The input source selection will not be available if a signal other than 480i or Y/CB/CR is detected. Once PIP is turned off, the next time you return on PIP mode, the position of the sub-window will start at default position.

However, not all available broadcast or video content fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in unused screen space. Please use the following guidelines to determine suitable widescreen viewing modes available that best support the type of broadcast / video content you wish to display. All widescreen viewing modes are available by pressing the WIDE key. Pressing the WIDE key will repeatedly cycle through: For 4:3 Aspect Ratio (Square) Content Content from TV, VCR, and some DVD's are formatted using a "square" 4:3 format: Then we recommend the following three viewing options: For Widescreen Content Many popular DVD titles are "anamorphic" (widescreen); however, there are two predominant "anamorphic" (widescreen) aspect ratios: 2.35:1 and 1.85:1. When 2.35:1 content is displayed on this 16:9 widescreen display, you will notice smaller black bars on top or bottom of the screen. When a 1.85:1 content is displayed, you will still see black bars, but not as large as 2.35:1. 4:3 (NORMAL) In 4:3 mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but black bars are added to the extra space on the left and right. 16:9 (FULL) The original 4:3 image is proportionally stretched to fill the entire screen. PANORAMA The original 4:3 image is expanded in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The center of the picture is almost normal while the edges are considerably expanded. If you do not want to see the black bars when playing back a widescreen movie, you can set to ZOOM 2 or ZOOM 3 to fully stretch the image. ZOOM: 1 Zoom1 shifts the image up to facilitate the display of subtitles. ZOOM: 2 Zoom 2 is set to stretch 1.85:1 content to full screen eliminating the black bars. ZOOM: 3 Zoom 3 is set to stretch 2.35:1 content to full screen eliminating the black bars. Notes: 1. 4:3 and Panorama modes are not available when zoom mode is engaged. 2. When using Component 1 and Component 2 inputs to display 480p, 1080i or 720p, Panorama mode is not available. 3. When using RGB or DVI inputs, only 4:3, 16:9 and an additional 4:3 Zoom modes are available. In this 4:3 Zoom mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but is stretched to full screen in both horizontal and vertical directions, so the top and bottom of the image will be invisible. 4. Do not stay in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this may cause a permanent after-image to remain on your screen. 20 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS Widescreen Viewing Modes (Con't) Accessing Widescreen Viewing Modes using OSD You can also use the OSD menu to access the same widescreen and zoom mode functions.
