HDTV

High Definition television, or HDTV, gives viewers crystal-clear pictures integrated with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound - the entertainment experience that has been imagined but was never possible on standard analog televisions. HDTV reproduces theater-quality sights and sound by digitizing TV programming, allowing it to be transmitted and received the same way that a DVD player can reproduce movies with big-screen quality effects.
