Introduction
Digital Signal and Sound
The analog television broadcast system that has been used in the United States for the past 50 years transmits signals as electronic waves.
These waves can suffer degradation as the signal travels to your home. Additionally, the analog waves are susceptible to interference from
planes passing overhead, weather, and household appliances.
Digital signals, in contrast to analog signals, can be reproduced precisely because the images are transmitted and received using the
computer language of 1s and 0s. Such precision yields a signal that is capable of displaying studio-quality picture and Dolby Digital 5.1
channel sound.
Part 3: Other Key Features of owning an RCA HDTV
There are other HDTV’s on the market– even some that use DLP technology. But your RCA HDTV has been designed with features that
will enhance your TV viewing experience, and features that provide fl exibility to build on the digital revolution that is taking place. A
summary of your TV’s most unique features follows. Go to Chapter 3 for more details on these and additional features.
Integrated HDTV Tuner with Digital Cable Ready QAM
RCA was the fi rst to offer an integrated tuner with its HDTVs, which means there is no need for another box to receive digital
programming. Now, we’ve gone one better–your HDTV’s tuner is digital cable ready, which means there is no need for a cable box to view
unscrambled digital cable programming. The CableCARD™ slot on your HDTV allows you to use a digital cable card to access digital
cable. The tuner is able to decode all formats of digital television broadcasts, and it can interpret unscrambled digital cable signals because it
includes QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation).
Note: A digital cable card may be necessary to view scrambled (encrypted) channels. Contact your cable provider for more information.

TruScan Digital Reality
The intelligent signal processing of TruScan Digital Reality recognizes incoming video signals and progressively converts them to achieve
optimum digital picture performance. It also recognizes when original fi lm sources have been modifi ed and can automatically convert the
analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail–a process commonly referred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown.
