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 Scenium HDTV
Your RCA Scenium HDTV is equipped with many features that will enhance your viewing experience. The following section
highlights some of your TV's most unique features. For details about many of the TV's features, go to Chapter 3.
Integrated HDTV Tuner with Digital Cable Ready QAM
RCA was the first 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 (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 35 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. Go to page 20 for more information.
TruScan Digital Reality
With the Film Mode option turned on, 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
film sources have been modified 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.
