What is HDTV? HDTV is
high definition television. Unlike ordinary TV, which
relies on analog signals, HDTV receives and displays a
sharp digital signal. This translates into brighter, clear-
er pictures than have ever been possible. Look closely
at a conventional television and you will see a series
of horizontal lines, each made up of tiny dots called
pixels. Most televisions use a maximum of 432 lines
of pixels to create television pictures. HDTV shows up
to 1080 horizontal lines, providing an image with
clear and dramatic detail. In addition, HDTV is dis-
played in widescreen format, a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Instead of the standard, square aspect ratio of ordi-
nary TV, an HDTV image is spread horizontally, creat-
ing sweeping panoramas.

What about the sound?
HDTV comes with up to six channels of Dolby surround
sound and the capability of connecting a subwoofer.
This means that while viewing HDTV you will literally be
surrounded on all sides with a deep, rich soundtrack that
makes your home theater viewing experience come alive.
