Introducing the Digital TV (DTV)
8
Can this TV receive
conventional analog
broadcasts that are
available today?
Yes. This TV is designed to receive conventional analog broadcasts,
cable TV, as well as all formats of digital broadcasts. Of course, you
can also connect VCRs, DVD players, digital broadcast (satellite)
receivers, and other audio/video components.
When is digital
broadcasting being
introduced?
The transition from today’s analog broadcasting system to digital
television will take time to complete. In the fall of 1998, some
networks started to broadcast digital programs.
How can I select
digital channels?
Digital channels are indicated by the use of a decimal or “dot” in the
subchannel number (for example, “2.1”). This number appears when
you press the
CH +/-
buttons or press the
DISPLAY
button. To select a
subchannel directly, use the 0-9 buttons,
button, and the
ENTER
button.
For example, to select subchannel 2.1, press:

You can also select digital channels using an on-screen program
guide. See page 32 for details.
