Digital Television - Antennas
What You Need to Know
When upgrading to digital TV, it is important to consider the suitability and condition of your existing antenna and feeder cable.
Many older antennas may not cover the digital TV channels in use in your area. A competent antenna installer can advise you on your specic requirements.
The feeder cable may also need upgrading. For best results RG-6 type cable with dual or quad screening should be used.
The antenna location and height may also need to be considered. Antennas located in roof cavities may be very close to electrical wiring. This may lead to impulse noise drop-outs when switching lights or other electrical appliances.
If you live in a fringe reception area and have had a mast head amplier there are a number of issues to consider.
1. Is the amplier specied suitable for digital TV. Older ampliers maybe unsuitable.
2. Are the digital signal levels sufciently high to do without the amplier. Only use a mast head amplier if it is absolutely necessary.
3. If you must have a mast head amplier, make sure it has variable gain and only use the amount needed. Setting ampliers to full gain makes them prone to overload from electrical noise and radio frequency signals. The result can be frequent dropouts of the digital TV service.

Television Signal Formats in Australia
Analog TV vs Digital TV
The Australian Standard for both analog and digital TV transmission is based on variations of the European Standard of PAL and DVB.
All analog TV broadcasts are transmitted in the PAL-B/G format while all digital TV broadcasts are transmitted using the DVB-T (T - Terrestrial) standard. Both analog and digital transmissions utilise VHF and UHF bands
The following table shows the basic differences between the Australian analog and digital TV transmission formats.

Interlaced (i) and Progressive (p) Scanning
Interlaced format shows half of an image (on the odd rows of pixels) every ftieth of a second, and then shows the other half (on the even rows) the next ftieth. Therefore, it takes one twenty fth of a second for a complete frame, giving a frame rate of 25 frames per second.
Progressive format shows one complete video image every ftieth of a second, so the effective frame rate is twice as high as interlaced - 50 frames per second. In general, the progressive format gives a “smoother” quality picture than interlaced and specically on larger screens.
Digital TV Transmission Formats
The current Australian Standard for broadcasting digital TV is set at four formats. These are:
576i - Standard Denition: 576 x 720 pixels at a frame rate of 25 complete frames per second. 576p - High Denition: 576 x 720 pixels at a frame rate of 50 complete frames per second. 720p - High Denition: 720 x 1280 pixels at a frame rate of 50 complete frames per second. 1080i - High Denition: 1080 x 1920 pixels at a frame rate of 25 complete frames per second.

Overview 7
DVR-810 Video Output Resolutions
Standard and High Definition Video Outputs
The DVR-810 can connect to all TV monitors that support either 576i, 576p, 720p or 1080i resolutions.
When selecting the video output resolution for your TV monitor, all digital TV input formats are converted to the selected video output resolution. (Refer to the section in System Settings - Video).
Ensure that your TV monitor supports one or more of the resolutions - 576i, 576p, 720p or 1080i. If necessary and only when connected to Component, RGB or HDMI, use the EXIT button on the front panel of the DVR-810 to select the appropriate video output resolution.
Note:
• Component and RGB video outputs cannot
be used simultaneously.

Overview 9
Basic Information on Aspect Ratios
Your television screen has a certain physical width and height which is technically referred to as “aspect ratio”.
There are currently two variations for television aspect ratios. These are 4:3 and 16:9.
Televisions with a 4:3 aspect ratio were primarily designed for analog television where most programs were broadcast in a 4:3 screen format.
With the introduction of DVDs and digital terrestrial TV, the aspect ratio changed to meet the requirements for a wider viewing format. This wider viewing format typically increased the size of picture that could be displayed in a video frame. The of cial widescreen format for digital TV was therefore set as 16:9 which covered both Standard and High De nition broadcasts.
The following diagrams illustrate the variations that are possible from digital TV broadcasts using both 4:3 and 16:9 screen formats. The DVR-810 allows for the choice of aspect ratios regardless of the screen format.
Received digital TV broadcast in 4:3 format. DVR-810 aspect ratio set to 4:3.
Received digital TV broadcast in 16:9 format. DVR-810 aspect ratio set to 4:3.

Connection using a High Definition Flat Panel Display with HDMI
HDMI is a digital connection that combines both video and audio in one cable. HDMI is designed to maximise the picture and sound quality from a Flat Panel Display (plasma or LCD) and/or Home Theatre System. The results will in most cases be superior picture and sound quality than any analog video or audio connections.
Ensure that power to both the DVR-810 and TV is OFF before any connections are made.

RS232 and Ext IR Connections
Control Automation and External IR Ports
Control Automation refers to specic technologies related to the monitoring and control of any dedicated appliances or equipment within a home or commercial environment. Each appliance or equipment being considered for connection to an Automation system, must have the ability to be monitored and controlled. These types of Automation systems are provided by companies like AMX®, Crestron® and others.
The DVR-810 provides one RS232 port and one External IR port on the rear panel to meet most installation requirements.
A bi-directional RS232 serial interface port is used for controlling all functions related to recording, playback and general Live TV viewing. An ASCII command set for implementation of the Automation interface is available from Digitalview on request.
Additionally, the DVR-810 provides an External IR port. This port is used when the DVR-810 is located away from the main viewing area such as in hidden installations. An optional IR sensor, with a 3 metre lead, can be ordered separately from Digitalview.

2. Trick Mode Controls
Essentially both the Transport and Trick Control Modes are identical in operation. The Transport Controls are used when the DVR-810 is in Playback. The Trick Control Modes are used when recording.
Chase and Chase Play
When a Trick Mode is used during recording, the relationship between the actual real-time recording and the time position being watched is delayed, and is referred to as Chase or Chase Play. Simply put, Chase only occurs when a Trick Mode is activated and the program being watched is delayed with reference to the real-time Live TV recording position.
Note:
• Chase or Chase Play does not apply to the Playback mode of operation.
Operation of the Trick and Transport Control Modes
The following operational steps will describe how to use the Trick Mode controls during recording. The same instructions apply to the Transport Mode controls during Playback.
Due to the nature of how the video is recorded
While recording, Trick Modes can be used, for example to, rewind to a specic time in the program currently being recorded. The Trick Mode controls supported by the DVR-810 include:
1. 7FAST REWIND
