Digital TV - Set-Top Box (DTV-STB) or DVD
Connection
This television is capable of displaying 1080i and 480p DTV
signals when connected to a DTV tuner set-top-box (STB). In
order to view DTV programming, the STV must be connected
to the component video inputs (Y,PB,PR) of the television. A
DTV signal must be available in your area. Select the output of
the STB to either 1080i or 480p.
This television also utilizes a progressive scan doubler, which
de-interlaces the NTSC signal and progressively scans the
image. This allows you to sit close to the TV and not see the
thin black horizontal lines (venetian blind effect) associated
with interlaced TV pictures.
Use this diagram to connect the DTV-STB or DVD player to
the back of your projection television.
Note: There are two set of three video iacks, Y, P
B
, and P
R
.
Separate component color inputs provide luminance and
color separation. Use the L (left) and R (right) audio
inputs.
