PERSONNEL The lightning symbol in the triangle is used to alert you to the presence of dangerous voltage inside the receiver that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electric shock to anyone opening the case. It is also used to indicate improper installation or handling of the receiver that could damage the electrical system in the receiver or in other equipment attached to the receiver.
The exclamation point in the triangle is used to alert you to important operating and maintenance instructions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury to you or damage to the receiver.
Be careful with electricity:
z Power outlet: To prevent electric shock, be sure the electrical plug used on the receiver’s power
cord matches the electrical outlet used to supply power to the receiver. Only connect the power cord to a 120VAC, 60Hz power source.
z Power cord: Be sure the power cord is routed so that it will not be stepped on or pinched by heavy
items.
z Power overloading: Avoid overloading electrical outlets or extension cords which otherwise could
result in electric shock or fire.
z Lightning: For protection from lightning or when the receiver is left unattended for a long period,
disconnect it from the power source.
z Protect other equipment: Unplug the receiver before connecting any other equipment, especially
the TV antenna. Connect all equipment to the receiver before plugging in any power cords to the power source.
z Power line: Be sure your TV antenna is not located near overhead power lines, or where it might fall
into any power lines. Also be careful to avoid touching any such power lines when installing the TV antenna.
z Antenna Grounding: Be sure that the antenna is grounded to provide protection from lightning and
build-up of static electricity.
1
Also follow these precautions:
z Ventilation: Do not block the ventilation slots on the receiver or place any heavy object on top of it.
Blocking the air flow could damage the receiver. Arrange components so that air can flow freely around the receiver. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation if the receiver is placed in a stand. Put the receiver in a properly ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or any source of heat.
z Overheating: Avoid stacking the receiver on top of a hot component such as a power amplifier. z Risk of Fire: Do not place the receiver on top of any easily combustible material, such as carpet or
fabric.
z Proper Connections: Be sure all cables and equipment are connected to the receiver as described
in this manual.
z Object Entry: To avoid electric shock, never stick anything in the slots on the case or remove the
cover.
z Water Exposure: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the receiver to rain or
moisture.
z Keep the tuner out of the reach of children or it may fall, causing injury or damage to the
tuner.
z Always disconnect the power cord from the power outlet when you are not using the tuner.
This reduces your risk of electric shocks or fire.
z Always turn off the tuner, disconnect it from the power outlet, and unplug all other cables
from before moving the tuner. This reduces your risk of electric shocks or fire.

Introduction
A Brief Look at Broadcast and Digital Television
Broadcast television is a traditional way of watching TV programs simply by installing an antenna. This is called analog TV.
In recent years, many countries have begun to mandate a transition from analog to digital television. Digital TV provides noise-free, High Definition picture quality, Dolby AC-3 sound effects, and a handy EPG (electronic program guide). And the 16:9 video format gives a wider view than the traditional 4:3 format. Many TV broadcasters are now delivering digital TV programs, so switching to a digital HDTV receiver now makes good sense.
Digital TV programs are broadcast on VHF and UHF bands. Traditional analog TV uses one frequency channel to carry a single station's program. With digital TV, one frequency channel can carry up to four station programs. For example, analog channel CBS 2 may have become 2-1, 2-2, etc. when broadcast in digital TV. Channel 2 is the major channel and channel -1, -2, etc. are sub-channels.
Digital TV signals are transmitted in either free-to-air (FTA) or pay-per-view (PPV) mode. FTA programs are received free with an MPEG 2-ATSC compliant digital receiver, such as the HDTV-ST2. PPV programs can be received only by paying an access fee to the broadcaster and by using a digital receiver incorporating a compatible conditional access system. In addition, the HDTV-ST2 lets you watch HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV digital TV programs.
*HDTV stands for High Definition Television; the common video formats are “1920 x 1080 interlaced” and
“1280 x 720 progressive”.
*EDTV stands for Enhanced Definition Television; the common video format is “720 x 480 progressive”.
*SDTV stands for Standard Definition Television; the common video format is “720 x 480 interlaced”.
Receiver Functions
The HDTV-ST2 Digital HDTV Receiver can receive channels from VHF and UHF band TV signals. All the major free-to-air station numbers currently available in your area are listed in the on-screen menu. To watch the channel, simply select the channel number.
The receiver is fully ATSC / MPEG-2 (digital video broadcast) compliant, delivering High Definition crystal-clear video and Dolby AC-3 sound. It supports a radio signal range from 50-860 MHz, so all the channels within the VHF and UHF bands can be easily programmed. It can receive major and sub-channels containing both video and audio programs.
The receiver can receive hundreds of channels simply by selecting alternate TV channel frequencies in your area. To find out the specific digital TV services available to you, please contact your local service provider or log onto the website “http://www.antennaweb.org”. With the wide range of features and HDTV programs open up to you by the HDTV-ST2 receiver, you'll be ready for a new era in home theater entertainment.
Summary Of Features
The receiver supports digital functions that are fully ATSC / MPEG-2 compliant and can store up to 2,500 digital channels. It can also receive free-to-air digital TV programs transmitted from all the available VHF and UHF Band signals in your area. Follow the on-screen display (OSD) to guide you through the steps necessary to configure your receiver. Then begin enjoying all the video and audio channels with crisp picture quality and the crystal clear sound.
