Definition: ATSC is the 8VSB (8-level Vestigial Sideband Modulation) system. This is the digital TV broadcast system chosen by the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) for broadcast TV in the USA. QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) is the digital TV system chosen by the U.S. Cable TV companies for use over digital cable. Toshiba integrated digital TVs have both ATSC and QAM digital tuning capability so that you can receive terrestrial digital broadcasts as well as digital “cable-in-the-clear” broadcasts.

Benefit: Full broadcast stereo sound quality, plus access to bilingual or secondary audio signals.

Definition: SRS® WOW™ technology takes the performance of the television’s existing speakers to a whole new level, offering superior sound quality with no additional speakers required. SRS WOW consists of three separate sound-expanding systems which work together to extract “buried” highs and lows. The three systems are SRS 3D, TruBass, and FOCUS. SRS 3D creates a three-dimensional sound field from just two speakers, thus giving the listener the feeling of hearing a multi-speaker surround sound system.

Benefit: Eliminates the annoyance of normal program volume being followed immediately by extremely loud commercial messages or drastic volume fluctuations while changing channels.

Benefit: Inputs can now be directly selected from the remote's numbered keypad without scrolling through all the inputs.

Benefit: Multiple signal inputs can be easily identified and selected.

Definition: For optimum display of each type of input source, Individual AV Settings by Input allow the viewer to make video adjustments for each type of input, such as RF, Composite, S-Video, and each ColorStream® Component Video Input.

Definition: Through the use of an IR blaster, TheaterLink® allows remote commands to be sent through the set to home theater components, even if hidden away from view.

Benefit: Sends the audio signal to an audio/video receiver in its digital form allowing access to the Dolby Digital® /DTS® track encoded on the DVD disc.
