HDTV, not to be confused by ADHD, is a vast <br /> improvement on the US television broadcast standard NTSC (Never Twice the Same <br /> Color). However, getting used to the high quality is not the problem. Getting <br /> used to the presently high price is. The authors, encourage you to read up on <br /> the technology a bit, shopping very carefully, and getting what you need to make <br /> sure yours is a proper HDTV experience. They describe HDTV channels and <br /> programs, getting into DVDs and gaming consoles, and the art of developing and <br /> actually enjoying sensory overload. For those of us who still cherish the White <br /> Album on LPs, the authors include a bit of nostalgia about the pre-HDTV days as <br /> well.<br /> <br /> Table of Contents<br /> Introduction 1<br /> About This Book 1<br /> Foolish Assumptions 2<br /> How This Book Is Organized 3<br /> Icons Used in This Book 5<br /> Where to Go from Here 6<br /> Part I HDTV Fundamentals 7<br /> Chapter 1 What the Heck Is HDTV? 9<br /> Oh, Say, Can You ATSC? 9<br /> Powerful Performance 10<br /> Perplexing Pitfalls 14<br /> Chapter 2 Shopping Smart 17<br /> The 50,000-Foot View of HDTV 18<br /> What's Important in an HDTV 19<br /> Budgeting for HDTV 20<br /> Finding the Right Size 24<br /> Matching Your HD Needs 25<br /> Connecting the Other Gizmos 25<br /> Which Features Matter? 29<br /> Chapter 3 Cables and Connections 33<br /> Video Connections 33<br /> Audio Connections 43<br /> Part II Love at First Sight 47<br /> Chapter 4 Hooking Up Your HDTV 49<br /> Making Connections 50<br /> Chapter 5 Enhancing Your HDTV 67<br /> Why You Need to Calibrate 67<br /> Getting Your Settings Right 68<br /> Getting Calibrated 69<br /> Chapter 6 Magic Black Boxes 73<br /> What the Heck's a Video Processor? 73<br /> Choosing Scalers 76<br /> Part III HDTV Channels 79<br /> Chapter 7 Who's Showing HDTV? 81<br /> Looking at Who Has HDTV 82<br /> Making Your Choice 84<br /> All HDTV Signals Are Not Equal 85<br /> Chapter 8 Something's in the Air 89<br /> Finding Local HD Broadcasts 90<br /> Tuning In 91<br /> Antennas A to Z 93<br /> Chapter 9 The Cable Guy 97<br /> High-Definition Cable 98<br /> Digital Cable 100<br /> Analog Cable 102<br /> Going Boxless 102<br /> Chapter 10 Rocket Science 105<br /> Planning a Satellite TV System 105<br /> Choosing a DBS Provider 109<br /> Part IV Movie Machines 113<br /> Chapter 11 DVDs 115<br /> Deciphering DVD Recorders 117<br /> Finding DVDs in Unusual Places 118<br /> Chapter 12 Getting Into DVRs 123<br /> DVR 101 123<br /> HD DVRs 125<br /> Standard DVRs 127<br /> Chapter 13 Taping Time 131<br /> Checking Out Your Digital Options 132<br /> Connecting VCRs to HDTVs 134<br /> Looking Closer at D-VHS 136<br /> Part V Monitor Madness 139<br /> Chapter 14 Gaming Consoles 141<br /> Understanding Consoles 141<br /> Meet the Consoles 142<br /> Connecting to Your HDTV 146<br /> Chapter 15 Camcorders 151<br /> Your Run-of-the-Mill SD Camcorder 152<br /> Enter HD Camcorders 153<br /> Checking Out the First HDV Camcorder 154<br /> Chapter 16 Gadgets 159<br /> Home Theater PCs 159<br /> Video Jukeboxes 162<br /> Do the Roku 164<br /> Looking for HDTV Gadgets 165<br /> Chapter 17 Home Networking 167<br /> Layering Your House 168<br /> The Center of Your HDTV Net 168<br /> Getting Signals to Your HDTV 169<br /> Sharing Signals in Your House 174<br /> Part VI Sensory Overload 177<br /> Chapter 18 Understanding Audio 179<br /> Grasping Audio Basics 180<br /> Surround-Sound Mania 181<br /> Dealing with Built-in Audio 185<br /> Chapter 19 Home Theater Audio 187<br /> Boxing Up Your Home Theater 187<br /> Receiving Home-Theater Sounds 189<br /> Chapter 20 Setting the Mood 193<br /> Choosing Your HDTV's Home 193<br /> Sounds Right? 195<br /> Lights Everyone, Action! 200<br /> Part VII Geek Stuff 205<br /> Chapter 21 TV Engineering 101 207<br /> Lines and Pixels 207<br /> Scanning and Interlacing 212<br /> Chapter 22 Projecting a Good Image 215<br /> Projection HDTV Design 215<br /> Projection TV Systems 219<br /> Screens 224<br /> Chapter 23 Thin Is In 227<br /> Loving Your LCD 227<br /> Everyone's Crazy About Plasma 230<br /> Chapter 24 Good OI' Tubes 233<br /> All About CRTs 233<br /> CRT Pros and Cons 234<br /> Navigating the CRT Jungle 236<br /> Part VIII The Part of Tens 239<br /> Chapter 25 Ten Places to Buy an HDTV 241<br /> Crutchfield 242<br /> Gateway 243<br /> DISH Network 246<br /> Circuit City 246<br /> Best Buy 247<br /> ClubMac 247<br /> Super Warehouse 248<br /> Best Digital Online 248<br /> Microsoft 248<br /> Sony Electronics 249<br /> Chapter 26 Ten (or so) HDTV Accessories 251<br /> Kick Some Butt (with Transducers) 251<br /> Motion Simulators 253<br /> Power Conditioner 254<br /> DVD Changer Controllers 254<br /> Show HDTV Outdoors 255<br /> Creature Double Feature in 3D 256<br /> Wireless Headphones 258<br /> In Search of That Great Remote Control 259<br /> Bring Hollywood Home 262<br /> Index 263<br /> <br /> Product Details<br /> <br /> * ISBN: 0764575864<br /> * ISBN-13: 9780764575860<br /> * Format: Paperback, 274pp<br /> * Publisher: Wiley, John &amp; Sons, Incorporated<br /> * Pub.
