Congratulations on purchasing this RCA High Defi nition Television (HDTV).
Your purchase decision represents an investment in a new generation of
technology—HDTV. Even though this is a technologically advanced HDTV, it
is the most user-friendly of its kind—with on-screen instructions that guide you
through all of the TV’s features.
The best of both worlds
Your HDTV has two tuners: one for regular, analog television and one for off-air
digital television (ATSC). On your HDTV's back panel you'll see two inputs—one

for cable TV or regular, off-air programming and one for off-air digital television.
While you're watching TV, you can switch from one tuner to the other with the
ANT•CAB button on your remote.

What makes HDTV better
With your new High-Defi nition Television, you can embark on the next
generation of TV viewing—HDTV. There are many technological advancements
that make HDTV better than analog TV, but there are basically three things
about HDTV that bring you a superior viewing experience: (1) resolution, (2)
aspect ratio, and (3) digital signal and sound.
Resolution (it’s math...that works for you)
The crisp, lifelike picture that people rave about when experiencing true HDTV
is due to the resolution this technology provides. The resolution is measured by
calculating the number of active lines of pixels. A pixel (which stands for picture
element) is a small dot. The picture you see on your TV is composed of these
dots.
