Toshiba 50HP66 HD Plasma TV

ATSC/NTSC & QAM Digital Television Tuners
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.

MTS Stereo/SAP with dbx®

SRS® WOW™ (3D, Tru-bass, Focus)
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.
