FEATURES
Built in ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee)
TUNER
This TV can receive both Digital broadcasting (ATSC) and Analog broadcasting.
D.I.S.T. (Digital Image Scaling Technology)
This system uses line interpolation to double the number of scanning lines and achieve high resolution, flicker-free picture. Color Management
This function ensures dull colors are compensated to produce natural hues.
Picture Management
This function makes it easier to see the dark areas when a picture has many dark areas, and makes it easier to see the bright areas when a picture has many bright areas. Smart Picture This function detects the APL (Average Picture Level) and adjusts the contrast suitable for what you are watching.
DIGITAL VNR
This function cuts down the amount of noise in the original picture.
MPEG Noise Reduction
This function effects the block noise removal and mosquito NR simultaneously.
Sensor Effect
With Sensor Effect ON, a "leaf" icon will appear on your TV screen when Smart Sensor brightness adjustment occurs.

SELF CHECK FEATURE
OUTLINE
This unit comes with the "Self check" feature, which checks the operational state of the circuit and displays/saves it during failure.Diagnosis is performed when power is turned on, and information input to the main microcomputer is monitored at all time. Diagnosis is displayed in 2 ways via screen display and LED flashes. Failure detection is based on input state of I2C bus and the various control lines connected to the main microcomputer.

FAILURE HISTORY
Failure history can be counted up to 9 times for each item. When the number exceeds 9, display will remain as 9. Failure history will be stored in the memory unless it has been deleted.
NOTE: Only SYNC (with/without sync signals) will be neither counted nor stored.

POINTS TO NOTE WHEN USING THE SELF CHECK FEATURE
In addition to circuit failures (abnormal operation), the following cases may also be diagnosed as "Abnormal" and counted.
(1) Temporary defective transmissions across circuits due to pulse interruptions.
(2) Misalignment in the on/off timing of power for I2C bus (Vcc) when turning on/off the main power. Therefore, turn on the main power, and then wait for about 3 seconds before starting Self check. If recurrences are expected, ensure to clear (reset) the failure history and record the new diagnosis results.
