Other Info Glossary analog signal aspect ratio A signaling method that uses continuous changes in the amplitude or frequency of an electronic transmission to convey information. Refers to the ratio between the width and height of the screen. KD-36XS955 models have a 4:3 aspect ratio; KD-30/34XS955 models have a a 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio. 4:3 aspect ratio 16:9 aspect ratio Other SETUP SETUP component video Component video is sent through three cables: two color shade (chrominance) signals and one brightness (luminance) signal. Component video achieves greater color accuracy than composite video or S VIDEO by splitting chrominance into two separate portions. composite video degauss digital television (DTV) HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) National Television System Committee (NTSC) RF S VIDEO VHF/UHF 480i (SD) 480p (SD) 720p (HD) 1080i (HD) 96 Composite video is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color shade (chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal. A process that demagnetizes the metal components in the TV monitor, which eliminates image distortion that can result from magnetic charges acquired by the TV's components. Your TV degausses automatically when it is turned on. A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV provides clearer resolution and improved sound quality over analog television. Provides an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between this TV and any HDMIequipped audio/video component, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced, or high-definition video, plus two-channel digital audio. A unit of the Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, that establishes television standards in the United States, such as NTSC Color, the standard used in this TV. Radio Frequency. That part of the frequency spectrum that is used to transmit TV and radio signals. S VIDEO requires a single cable, which carries the brightness (luminance) and color (chrominance) signals of the picture separately. S VIDEO provides better resolution than composite video, which carries the signals together. VHF (Very High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from 30 to 300 megahertz. UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from 300 to 3,000 megahertz. Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines. Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits each line from top to bottom. Provides 720 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits each line from top to bottom. Provides 1080 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines. 1080i is one of the formats used by HDTV (High Definition TV).
