NOTICE
CEA Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications are designed to serve the public
interest through eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers,
facilitating interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in
selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for his particular need.
Existence of such Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications shall not in any respect
preclude any member or nonmember of CEA from manufacturing or selling products not
conforming to such Standards, Bulletins or other technical publications, nor shall the existence
of such Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications preclude their voluntary use by
those other than CEA members, whether the standard is to be used either domestically or
internationally.
Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications are adopted by CEA in accordance with the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) patent policy. By such action, CEA does not
assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does it assume any obligation whatever to parties
adopting the Standard, Bulletin or other technical publication.
Note: The user's attention is called to the possibility that compliance with this standard may
require use of an invention covered by patent rights.
By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the validity of this claim or
of any patent rights in connection therewith. The patent holder has, however, filed a statement
of willingness to grant a license under these rights on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms
and conditions to applicants desiring to obtain such a license. Details may be obtained from
the publisher.
This CEA Standard is considered to have International Standardization implication, but the
International Electrotechnical Commission activity has not progressed to the point where a valid
comparison between the CEA Standard and the IEC document can be made.
This Standard does not purport to address all safety problems associated with its use or all
applicable regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to
establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations before its use.
(Formulated under the cognizance of the CEA R4.8 DTV Interface Subcommittee.)
