I don't know for sure when it was manufactured, but we bought it in 03. 
I'm sure it isn't digital compatible, just appears to run like normal 
set, no digital input on the back.  Also when we bought it, many sets 
were marked as "hd ready", not the same thing as hd, anyhow this one 
wasn't.  I just wish the damn thing hadn't stopped working.
