Digital Television
Digital Television (DTV) broadcasts are scheduled to become available in 10 major
U.S. markets. Broadcasts will be in both high definition (HDTV) and standard
definition (SDTV). The HDTV signal formats are 1080i (interlaced scan) and 720p
(progressive scan). SDTV signal formats are 480i and 480p.
SDTV-Compatible (480p)
SDTV-compatible TV models process and display the standard definition output with
the use of a Panasonic DTV-STB at 480 lines, interlaced or progressive scan. When
DTV programming is available, you can view it in the standard format, either 4:3
aspect ratio or 16:9 aspect ratio.
DTV Compatibility of CT-32XF55
This TV is capable of displaying only the 480p SDTV signal using the Panasonic DTV-
STB, model TU-DST50. In order to view DTV programming, the TV must be
connected to DTV-STB component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pa) and audio inputs and in
DTV mode. A DTV signal must be available in your area and the DTV-STB must be
tuned to the proper channel.
Progressive Scan
Progressive scan de-interlaces the incoming signal and progressively scans the
image. This allows you to sit very close to the TV and not see the thin black horizontal
scan lines (venetian blind effect) associated with an interlaced picture.
