revolutionary new technology that brings life-like television pictures into
your home. Using digital technology,
wide screen pictures are displayed on big-screen or
regular sized screens in bright, stunning color. The viewing
experience is further enriched by crystal clear
surround sound, especially when the HDTV set is connected to a Home
Theatre System.HDTV broadcasts are now
available throughout the USA, Canada, Australia and Japan and will soon
be available in Europe. The price of high definition television TV sets has
plummeted as new HDTV vendors have entered the marketplace. HDTV
broadcasts are becoming widely available in many parts of the world.
There are a number of HDTV technologies
available. They include Plasma
Televisions, LCD TVs,

HDTV Ready Television Sets are sold without tuners and require
