The latest telecommunication system for broadcasting moving pictures and sound is known as Digital television (DTT) and as the name implies this relies upon the transmission and reception of digital signals as opposed to the more conventional analogue formats. Introduced in the late 1990s, this technology appealed to the television broadcasting business and consumer electronics industries as offering new financial opportunities.

The Panasonic has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the TH-42PX60B uses is HDMI and 2.
