Connecting to a Stereo VCR or DVD Recorder

The diagram below shows how to connect a recording device to your set-top. Although it is possible to watch TV using a connection through your VCR or DVD recorder to the TV, this connection may not provide the best picture, and HDTV users are restricted to an SD format. In addition, some content is copy protected and passing this content through the recording device may result in a picture that cannot be viewed.

For these reasons, the connection shown is best used to provide only video and audio to your recording device and not for normal TV viewing. The connection from the recording device to the TV (only used for playback of recorded material) depends on the type of device being used, the outputs that are supported, and the inputs that remain available for use on your TV.

Consult the user manuals provided with your TV and recording device for more details on connection options.

Cables Used in this Conﬁ guration

• 1 Coaxial Cable

• 2 RCA-type Video Cables

• 2 Audio Left/Right Cables

Connecting your TV directly to the Audio/Video output of your set-top will assure a more vivid picture and enhance your viewing enjoyment.

WARNING:

Electric shock hazard! Unplug all electronic devices before connecting or disconnecting any device cables to the set-top.

Troubleshooting

If the set-top does not perform as expected, the following tips may help. If you need further assistance, contact your service provider.

No Picture

• Verify that the power to your TV is turned on.

• If the set-top is plugged into a wall switch, verify that the switch is in the ON position. (Avoid plugging into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.)

• Verify that all cables are properly connected.

• If your system includes a VCR, DVD recorder, or stereo, verify that you have properly connected the device to the set-top.

• Verify that you are using the proper input selection to the home theater, set-top, or TV.

• Verify that the set-top is set to the proper screen type and resolution.

• If you are using coaxial cable to connect to your TV, verify that the TV is tuned to the channel designated by your service provider (usually channel 3). Contact your service provider for the channel information.

No Color or Incorrect Color

• Verify that the current TV program is broadcast in color.

• Adjust the TV color controls.

• If you are using a component video connection (YPbPr), check that all connectors are completely and properly plugged into the set-top and TV.

• If you are using a component video connection (YPbPr) and your HDTV has only RGB or RGB-HV connectors, you must use an adapter. You can obtain the adapter through an electronic parts retailer.

No Sound

• If your setup includes a VCR, DVD recorder, or stereo, verify that you have properly connected the device to the set-top.

• Verify that the volume is turned up.

• Verify that the mute function is not on.

• Verify the proper input selection to the home theater, set-top, or TV.

• If you are using coaxial cable to connect to your TV, verify that the TV is tuned to the correct channel.

Avoid Screen Burn-In

Images such as letterbox bars or side bars, bright closed-captioning backgrounds, station logos, or any other stationary images may cause the display in your HDTV to age unevenly; this is known as screen burn-in. Refer to the user manual that came with your HDTV for more information.

CAUTION:

Avoid screen burn-in. Do not display the same ﬁ xed images on your HDTV screen for extended periods of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Digital Television?

Digital television (DTV) is a huge leap forward in television technology compared to analog television that has been widely available since the 1940s. DTV is delivered and displayed using digital encoding, similar to the way a PC operates. By using digital technology, there is no variation in picture and sound quality from the origination point until it is displayed on your television. You always receive a high-quality picture without the wavy lines or static you might sometimes get from a weak analog signal. Another feature of digital television is digital surround sound using Dolby Digital technology, which is the same technology used to produce the sound you hear in movie theaters.

What Is Standard-Deﬁ nition Television?

Standard-deﬁ nition television (SDTV) is basic digital television programming delivered by your service provider. Typically, the SDTV screen is the same, nearly square shape as an analog television screen. Digital images on an SDTV set are crisp and clear—noticeably better than on a standard analog television set using an antenna to receive over-the-air signals.

What Is High-Deﬁ nition Television?

High-deﬁ nition television (HDTV) is a completely new way to send and receive television broadcast signals. HDTV images are made up of pixels that are much smaller and closer together than those used in standard analog television, and there are millions of them. Thus, HDTV can display ﬁ ve to six times the detail of analog television to deliver picture quality that is much more realistic, dimensional, and precise. SDTV programs can be viewed on an HDTV.

Are Local TV Stations or Other Programmers Broadcasting in HDTV?

Many local TV stations and programmers are transmitting digital signals. However, transmitting a digital signal does not mean transmitting an HDTV signal. Some stations are using the new bandwidth to broadcast several standard-deﬁ nition channels. Most stations and programmers, once they begin broadcasting in digital, are offering HD content from their parent network (for example, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and PBS). Contact your service provider for more information.

Why Aren’t All the Shows I Watch in High-Deﬁ nition?

A high-deﬁ nition program must originate in HD format and be broadcast in HD format. Having an HDTV system does not mean that everything you watch will be viewed in highdeﬁ nition. Getting the signal from a digital source also does not mean it is high-deﬁ nition.

Why Are Some HDTVs 4:3 Aspect Ratio and Others 16:9?

The aspect ratios differ because television manufacturers build both standard-screen and wide-screen HDTVs to appeal to consumer viewing preferences. The two aspect ratios are as follows:

• On standard-screen (4:3) HDTVs, the programming is displayed in letterbox format in the middle of the screen. There are bars surrounding the picture.

• On wide-screen (16:9) HDTVs, the programming is displayed on the full screen.

What Is HDMI and Does it Support Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio?

The High-Deﬁ nition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed, all-digital audio/ video interface. The Dolby Digital audio format that provides up to 5.1 separate channels of surround sound, and is the standard used for DVD-Video. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-deﬁ nition video, plus multi-channel digital audio, such as Dolby Digital audio, on a single cable.

27

Picture Formats

What Is the Difference Between a Standard-Screen and a Wide-Screen HDTV?

The type of screen your HDTV has (wide-screen or standard-screen) determines how the set-top displays programs on the screen. The picture format for an HDTV is a combination of aspect ratio and screen resolution and is different for standard-screen and wide-screen HDTVs.

What Is Aspect Ratio?

An aspect ratio is the ratio of the width to the height of the TV screen. The aspect ratios differ because the television industry manufactures both standard-screen and wide-screen HDTVs to appeal to consumer viewing preferences.

What Is the Screen Resolution?

The screen resolution indicates the amount of detail that the picture displays. Resolution is identiﬁ ed by the number of display lines on the screen. The techniques that an HDTV uses to “paint” the picture on the screen are referred to as progressive and interlaced.

With the progressive scanning method, the lines are drawn on the screen one at a time in sequential order. Progressive scanning results in a more detailed image on the screen and is also less susceptible to the ﬂ icker commonly associated with interlaced scanning. The interlaced method involves refreshing pixels in alternation — ﬁ rst the odd lines and then the even lines.

For advanced setup, select the screen resolution that your TV can support. Refer to your HDTV user manuals to choose the proper screen resolution (480i, 720p, 1080i) for your setup.

For example, a screen resolution of 1080i indicates that the screen shows 1080 lines in an interlaced display, and 720p indicates that the screens shows 720 lines in a progressive display.

A standard-screen HDTV has a 4x3 aspect ratio. The screen is 4 units wide for every 3 units tall.

A wide-screen HDTV is one-third wider than a standard-screen HDTV. The screen is 16 units wide for every 9 units tall.

A screen resolution of 480i ﬁ lls the screen.

A screen resolution of 720p or 1080i ﬁ lls the screen.
