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. This LCD projection 
TV has a 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio, as opposed to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

The PCMIA shaped card provided by your cable TV company which descrambles the

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 is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color 
shade (chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal.

A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV 
provides higher resolution and improved sound quality over analog television. 

Provides an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between this TV and any 
HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and 
A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel 
digital audio.

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 LCD projection 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 LCD projection TV screen and then the even 
lines. 1080i is one of the formats used by HDTV (High Definition TV).
