The TV broadcast industry is moving toward high definition as the signal standard. Currently, the number of programs being broadcast in high definition is limited, but this is changing. To view high-definition programs on your TV, you will need to connect a satellite receiver, cable box, or set-top box that can decode HD signals. Resolution information Image resolutions are commonly referred to by a number followed by a letter: 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. The number in each format refers to the number of lines of resolution, so for example both 480i and 480p offer 480 lines of resolution. The "i" or "p" refers to whether the signal is displayed using respectively interlaced or progressive scan. Interlaced scan breaks each frame of video into 2 fields, one made up of even lines and one made up of odd lines. The image is reproduced by drawing all odd lines first (1,3,5,...479) than all the even ones (2,4,6,....,480). Progressive scan, on the other hand reproduces an image by drawing all lines in succession 1,2,3,4,....480). Interlaced Scan Odd lines Even Lines Progressive Scan Lines in succession 6 Descriptions of Jacks, Cables, and Connectors This page contains descriptions and illustrations of jacks, cables, and connectors you might use in making connections.

Pre-connection Recommendations Positioning the TV Before connecting accessory devices--VCR, DVD player, or HD satellite receiver, for example--please keep the following in mind: · Place the TV on a flat surface. An unlevel surface may adversely affect picture performance. · Do not place the TV on shag carpet or any surface that will block the ventilation openings at the bottom of the set. Blockage will cause the TV to overheat and shut down. · Allow 4 to 6 inches of space behind the TV for ventilation. · An optional swivel and an optional stand are available for use with your TV. See your electronics dealer. · Test various locations in the room to find the optimal spot to locate the set for best viewing. · Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance. · Do not expose the TV to rain or moisture. · To prevent any unsafe situations, do not place objects on top of the TV. Situate the TV where it will not be exposed to heat or moisture. For safety, do not set objects on top of the TV. Allow 4 to 6 inches behind the TV for ventilation. Place the TV on a flat surface. Providing Protection Against Power Surges · Connect all accessory devices before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. · Turn off the TV and/or accessory devices before you connect or disconnect any cables. · Ensure that all antennas and cables are properly grounded. See page 3, "Important Safety Instructions." Do not place the TV on a surface that will block the air filters located underneath the set. Protecting Accessory Devices from Overheating · Arrange accessory devices so that air can circulate freely around them. · Don't stack the accessory devices. Arrange them to allow for good ventilation. The optional Philips stand provides enough room for two accessory devices, side by side. · If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it will not flow around other components.
