WELCOME �_____________________________________________________________________
� to digital terrestrial television
Welcome to a new form of entertainment with new free to air � and subscription
services.
Future features are interactive via the modem and Common Interface, and are
used for home shopping, home banking and other services.
What is digital TV and why is the world changing to
digital transmission?
Digital transmission will do for the eyes what the Compact Disc brought for the
ears!
No noise in the picture, no cross effects between the picture and sound content,
no influence of multipath reception as a result of reflections to the aerial. The
quality of reception is outstanding.
Digital terrestrial television is received through the same aerial that is used for
existing analogue TV reception and is transmitted preferably in the widescreen
format 16:9 (speak 16 by nine).
Please note, a few TV transmitter stations will have to transmit some of the digi-
tal services on new frequencies outside of the existing frequency range.
This would make it necessary to have a broadband aerial installed in order to
receive all the new services.
How can I record digital transmissions?
Dont worry, this is possible via the Scart extension from your Grundig TV. Refer
to page 14.
More good news: Digital terrestrial TV was introduced in november �98, but
new features for interactivities may change the existing TVOs software. DonOt
worry! Your TV is prepared for updating any kind of change via the Common
Interface (PCMIA) slot on the rear of the TV. Refer to page 10.
Flashcards to do this are available, if needed, via your dealer or our Service
Organisation.
If you want to judge the picutre quality, just follow the instructions on page 62.
Your GRUNDIG IDTV (Integrated Digital TV) displays an integrated colour bar
test pattern in digital mode � in digital resolution.
Impressive this new TV generation � isnOt it. Grundig made for you.
