the scanning speed of the picture tube’s
electron beam to improve sharpness and
detail, especially in high-contrast areas.
Custom-Designed 5-Element
Lens System with Color Correction

What is High-Definition Television (HDTV)?
For nearly 60 years, analog television has been the broadcast standard. This standard is now
being replaced by digital television, which uses a continuous stream of computer-like numbers
to transmit pictures, sound, and information.
The computer numbers are translated into pixels. The higher the pixel number, the better
the picture. HDTV can receive up to ten times as many pixels as today’s TV—that’s 2,000,000
pixels compared to 200,000. This RCA Scenium
high-definition television offers a 16:9, 65"
diagonal screen (similar to a movie screen) for a breathtaking, lifelike picture. The high-definition
optical system provides rich, accurate color and pinpoint detail. Even today’s programming will
look better on RCA Scenium high-definition sets. That’s because each set incorporates our latest
in digital up-conversion technology to ensure the cleanest, most detailed picture possible from
existing signals, regardless of the source.
Easy-To-Navigate
On-Screen
DIRECTV Menu System
Optional antenna dish required
to receive DIRECTV
®
programming.
(Dish and programming sold
separately).
SurfGuide
The SurfGuide System brings up seven
channels of programs at a time. Surf up
and down the guide, viewing the current
30-minute or up to a two-hour time window
of programming. You’ll never miss out on
any of the action of your current show,
because it stays active in the background
while you explore other channels.
Interactive Channel Banner
The translucent, see-through Interactive
Channel Banner makes access to the
key features of the System fast and easy.
We’ve taken the most exciting features,
created icons for each of them, and
positioned them in the banner for
direct access.
Information Guide
Lists five different channels of
programming at a glance. Details on
the current highlighted program are
displayed in a banner at the top of the
screen. Program information changes
automatically as you navigate through the
guide and highlight different programs.
