HD6400W Digital Projection Television
and Remote Control
T
he Marantz
HD6400W Digital
Projection Television
(DPTV) represents an
advanced first step concept in integrated digital
products. Designed for
discrete and cross-over
system functionality the
HD6400W will support
traditional NTSC
Television standards,

D
igital Television
(DTV) will be av ailable to consumers
by ov er-the-air
broadcasts in select
city markets beginning in the fa ll of
1998. Homeowners
can use Indoor and
Outdoor Antennas to
receive the new
transmissions, but
like p revious NTSC
Analog programming
reception can be
e f fected by the type
and quality of the
antenna, and the terrain interf erence typical to certain areas.
See page 8 for D TV s
rollout plans, dates,
and schedules.
digital 1nf0rmation
• The DPTV can receive broadcasts from two antenna
sources. Connect an ATSC antenna to the DTV Antenna
jack, and a NTSC antenna, or cable TV signal, to the TV
Antenna/Cable jack.
• Multiple DVD signal connectors (Component-Y/Pb/Pr;
S-Video; or Composite) to be used for a variety of DVD
playback options. The DVD Inputs work in conjunction
with the DVD Stereo In audio jacks for sound playback.
• Three groups of NTSC Auxiliary Audio/Video Inputs can
be selected through the EXT INPUT button on the
remote, or the SOURCE button on the local keyboard.
• AUX1 - includes S-Video, CVBS Video, and accompany-
ing (Right)/(Left) channel Audio inputs.
Note: The AUX1 and AUX2 S-Video inputs work in conjunction with the AUX1 and AUX2 audio jacks for sound
playback.
• AUX2 - identical in operation to the AUX1 S-Video,
CVBS Video, (Right)/(Left) Audio Inputs.
• AUX3 - located on the right-side of the front of the
DPTV. Jacks include CVBS Video and (Right)/(Left)
Audio inputs.
• Two sets of A/V jacks direct external source signals to
the DPTV monitor:
• VGA IN - to connect a standard VGA (Video Graphics
Array) source for display.
• HD VIDEO IN - to input digital video from an external
source such as a computer. Input jacks include BNC connectors for R/Pr, G/Y, B/Pb, and H/H+ V signals.
• SYNC Switch - related to the HD Video inputs to allow
for synchronization switching between 75Ohm and High,
depending on the level of the digital source used.
• STEREO IN - jacks for (Right)/(Left) 2-channel stereo
sound to the DPTV speakers.
• 6-CHANNELAUDIO IN - to connect Right, Left,
Center, Right Surround (RS), Left Surround (LS), and
Subwoofer (SW) audio channels from an external Dolby
Digital device. The playback of 6-channel audio is also
dependent upon the configuration and adjustment of other
jackpanel (and ATSC Speaker Menu) switches and controls.
• The DPTV is capable of a variety of audio speaker configurations and connections for sending six channel audio
to internal and external speakers, as well as receiving
external supplied source material for playback.
• FRONT SPEAKERS Switch - to set the output of the
DPTV’s front (R)/(L)channel audio. INT(ernal) sends
(Right)/(Left) audio through the DPTV’s built-in (R)/(L)
front speaker system. EXT(ernal) routes the (R)/(L) channel audio to the FRONT EXTERNAL SPEAKERS OUT
terminals on the rear of the DPTV.
• FRONT EXTERNAL SPEAKERS OUT Terminals -
for the playback of the DPTV's front (Right/Left)
channel audio to external speakers (if connected). Note:
These speaker terminals are only active when the
FRONT SPEAKERS switch is set to EXT(ernal).
• SURROUND EXTERNAL SPEAKERS OUT
Terminals - to send the Surround Right (SR) and
Surround Left (SL) channel audio to external speakers.
• SUBWOOFER PREAMP OUT Jack - to send the
Subwoofer audio channel (at line level) to an external
powered Subwoofer speaker.
• SUBWOOFER SPEAKER OUT Terminals - to send
an amplified Subwoofer channel audio to an external
non-powered Subwoofer speaker.
• INTERNAL TV SPEAKERS USED AS CENTER
CHANNEL Switch -
used (in tandem with the Center
Channel Input switch - see next control description) to set
the DPTV’s built-in speaker system. Place the switch to
the YES position to use the DPTV for Center Channel
audio playback (as connected and supplied from an external Dolby Digital capable Amplifier source.) Place the
switch to the NO position to retain full DPTV internal
speaker system audio (with active Surround External
Speaker Out and Subwoofer Speaker Out terminal operation.)
Note: When the INTERNAL TV SPEAKERS and CENTER CHANNEL INPUT switches are placed in the YES
position no audio will be heard through the DPTV speaker system (unless a Dolby Digital capable Amplifier’s
Center Channel Output terminal is connected and active
through the DPTV’S CENTER CHANNEL INPUT terminals.)
• CENTER CHANNEL INPUT Switch - to control the
playback of the DPTV’s built-in speaker system for either
Center Channel audio (place switch to YES position
when connected to an external Dolby Digital capable
Amplifier’s Center Channel Output terminal); or for full
speaker DPTV system audio (place switch to NO in tandem with the Internal TV Speakers switch, see information listed above.)
• Three sets of audio output connectors and one video output connector are on the rear of the DPTV.
• SYSTEM AUDIO OUT - jacks send the DPTV system
audio (ATSC, NTSC, and Monitor) to an external amplifier. The DPTV outputs a 2-channel (Left/Right) stereo
audio signal.
• TV VIDEO OUT - CVBS video connector, matched
with a set of (Right/Left) Audio Outputs, used to send
NTSC video to an external source (such as a VCR, etc.)
• DTV DIGITAL AUDIO OUT - RCA connector which
routes the audio from the ATSC module to an external
amplifier/decoder that accepts a SPDIF (Sony-Philips
Digital Interface Format) input source.

- Digital Channel Selection Delay -
• Due to the tuning complexity of “subchannel” digital
programming (see explanation section to the left), the
time to select and view a digital channel may take
slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as compared to Analog channel programs.)
Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system
data information that also must be processed before the
channel selection can be displayed.
Analog vs. Digital Antenna Signals
(Strength and Direction Traits)
• Existing analog broadcast signals experience
increasing picture snow/ghosts/or interference as
the transmitted signal travels further from the
original broadcasting tower. The farther out you
move the reception point, the more the broadcast
signal degrades or grows weaker.
• Digital broadcast reception maintains a clearer,
more interference free picture throughout its
broadcast range, but once the limit of its broadcast range is reached the picture will quickly
drop from the screen (rather than a slower picture quality degrade as is the case with analog
reception.)
- DTV Antenna Reception -
• Contact your dealer for the best
DTV Antenna reception options
available for your area.
Both Indoor and Outdoor omnidirectional UHF/VHF antennas
can be used to receive digital
broadcast signals, but seek your
dealer’s expert advice for the best
in quality equipment to match
your DPTV.

Note: The new standards (for
bandwidth and signal compression) employed with digital ATSC broadcasting make
it possible to receive multiple
program channels under a
single “major” channel number. For example, under a traditional channel “6” broadcast program number you
might be able to find as many
as four or more additional
programs available for selection. These so called “subchannels” might carry a
“06.01, 06.02, 06.03, etc.” type
station number designation
and could be selected by
pressing a four digit remote
control direct-access channel
number entry.
The multiplication and diversity of sub-channel programming is contingent upon the
decisions of broadcasters and
how the space allocated for
high-definition television signals might be used. The content and information available
with sub-channels will be an
evolving digital issue which
could experience redirection
on a number of multicasting
information technology pathways. For example, the
“squeezing” of numerous
Standard Definition digital
channels (SDTV) into signal
bandwidths could be used
rather than dedicating the
total signal spectrum to true
High Definition (HDTV)
broadcasts that would rival
the picture resolution and
quality of film or cinema.
SUBCHANNEL SELECTIONS
• Note: Program and System Info or
(PSIP) is carried automatically within
the digital signal for program broadcasts
available in your area. PSIP contains the
signal encoding necessary for the
reception of digital audio processing, as
well as the new Parental Content
Advisory system for movies and TV
programming.

DIGITAL TV ROLLOUT - TIME/TERMS/TECHNOLOGY
T
he switch to digital pro-
gramming won’t happen
overnight, but broadcasters are
beginning the task of converting equipment and production
capabilities to meet the FCC’s
rules for signal format and
launch of digital TV.
The first step for the networks
will be to supply their affiliates
with one satellite program feed
for continuing NTSC service (at
least thru the year 2006), and
another feed for a single channel of HDTV (or SDTV format
channels). ABC, CBS, NBC,
and PBS networks are all
attempting to broadcast some
HDTV programming beginning
in the fall of 1998 (see the digital InfOrmation section to the
right for specific plans and
details), but much in the way of
new digital broadcast tower construction, site zoning and other
conversion issues will need to be
resolved in order for the broadcasts to begin in earnest.
In the beginning local stations
can offer different programming on their allotted digital
channel space, but as time passes the percentage of NTSC programs that must be converted to
digital “simulcast” broadcasts
will increase (in order to meet
specified conversion schedule
requirements.)
The Cable TV industry’s standard for the use and carrying of
digital broadcasts, which has a
different frequency modulation
than cable signals, is unresolved
(as of the date of this publication.) Although some cable
operators promise that digital
set-top boxes or decoders will be
available to pass HDTV signals
to digital TV sets, no official
“must carry” design for the
interfacing of cable TV programming and digital TV technologies has been agreed upon.
Even without firm program
launch dates or established
guidelines, digital cable decoder
equipment and program offering plans (by such cable program providers as HBO, Turner
Broadcasting and the Discovery
Channel) are all underway for
the interconnection of cable TV
and the arrival of HDTV. It may
not have immediate solutions at
the outset, but market and
industry demands should speed
cable operators to provide for
the HDTV signal to make it into
the cable supplied home.
Direct-broadcast satellite system
(DSS) providers (such as Direc
Tv, Unity Motion, Dish
Network, etc.) have also
announced plans to deliver
HDTV to its customer base in
the spring of 1999. DSS subscribers will likely need upgraded dish and satellite receiver
designed equipment to complete
their digital reception package,
but a number of providers are
working on both off-the-air signal and direct satellite feed solutions.
PROGRAM AVAILABILITY
DTV TIMETABLE
While they may differ on the choice
of digital f ormats
(1080i, 720p, 480i,
etc.) the netw orks
broadcast plans
center mainly on
select primetime *
program viewing.
Because of the
production techniques and equipment upgrades
necessary for digi tal broadcasts the
telecasting of
sports or other
live e v ents will not
become available
until audience view ership can justify
costs.
Some initial netw ork plans fo r digi tal broadcasts:
ABC- Wonderful
W orld of Disney (in
720p format); to
phase in other
HDTV broadcasts
later.
CBS- proposed to
send five hours of
1080i programming
per week
NBC- to begin
shooting The
T onight Show with
Jay Leno in HDTV
beginning in 1999;
also plans to show
other primetime
show s in HDTV
Fox to distribute
some portion of its
schedule in 720p
HDTV.
*Outside of the
primetime slot for
net w ork digital
sho w s local sta tions can provide
diff erent programming on their digital
broadcast channel.
They are free to
convert current
NTSC programming
into digital SDTV or
even upgrade their
signal to true HDTV.
ABC, NBC and Fox
are advising affili ates to use 480p
f or the majority of
its broadcast day,
while CBS recommends its stations
use the 480i fo rmat.

• High Definition Television (HDTV) is approxi-
mately twice the vertical and horizontal resolution of today’s NTSC TV. Because of the extra
width (16:9) format of HDTV the picture contains about five times as much information (or
pixels) as conventional TV.
HDTV also includes 5.1 channels of Dolby
Digital surround sound to be broadcast through
two front speakers; one center speaker; two rear
back speakers; and a separate bass channel or
subwoofer signal.
• HDTV refers to the product/system with the following minimum performance specs:
- Resolution: vertical display resolution of
720P, 1080I, or higher
- Aspect Ratio: capable of displaying 16:9 for-
mat images at the minimum resolution levels
- Audio: receives, reproduces, and/or outputs
Dolby digital audio
- Receiver: receives all ATSC (Table 3) formats
• Standard Definition Television (SDTV) offers
about the same picture resolution as today’s
NTSC TV, but the picture quality is improved
because of the lack of snow and ghosts that
accompany normal NTSC over-the-air broadcasting.
Multiple channels are possible with SDTV since
the 6-MHz signal space allotted for digital
broadcasts can be used for other types of less
data filled format programming.
• Standard Definition Television (SDTV) refers to
the product/system with the following performance attributes:
- Resolution: display resolution lower than that
of HDTV
- Aspect Ratio: none specified
- Audio: produces useable audio
- Receiver: receives all ATSC (Table 3) formats
and produces a useable picture

ADVANCED TELEVISION SYSTEM COMMITTEE FORMATS
PROGRESSIVE (P) AND INTERLACE (I) SCAN
• Progressive and Interlace refer
to the method in which the video
from a picture telecast is scanned
or displayed on the TV screen.
-
Interlace scans or paints half
the vertical lines for the picture
on the screen every 1/60 of a
second. Then the rest of the picture is filled in between the lines
of the first half on a followup
scan. The speed of this process
is so fast that it appears to the
eye as being one complete picture. Due to the amount of infor-
mation contained in a 1080-line
HD picture, interlace is needed
to fit the format into the allotted
6MHz channel space.
-Progressive scans or paints the
entire video picture one line
after another. Used with today’s
computer monitors this progressive process can eliminate some
of the picture artifacts found
with interlace scan, but does
require a larger bandwidth in
order to deliver programs at the
same frame rate.

FREQUENTLYASKED DTV QUESTIONS
Q: What are the goals of DTV?
A: In the United States the commitment for free and local digital
broadcasts is a main standard for the
new ATSC system. The reception
and interaction of local terrestrial
broadcasting for DTV programming
is to remain the same regardless of
the region or area of the country in
which you reside.
Q: How long will the transition to
DTV take?
A: The move to digital programming will shift from initial select
program offerings; to increased
simulcast availability; to the ultimate return of analog NTSC broadcast channels to the federal government in 2006. The NTSC and ATSC
systems will coexist for years to
come (with possible date extensions
provided for the return of NTSC
system channels if needed.)
Products such as the HD6400W
DPTV are uniquely positioned with
operation capability matched for
both the NTSC and ATSC systems.
Q: What’s in the future for DTV?
A: Because of the computer, multimedia, and broadcast services
involved in setting ATSC and signal
compression standards, DTV picture
formats can be universally adopted
not only for TV broadcasts but also
for computer and other interrelated
web and network service purposes.
Digital Television (DTV) is the umbrella term used to describe the new digital television system adopted by the FCC. DTV is an open standard with few specific format rules for the implementation of
HDTV/SDTV/and a host of potential data broadcast applications. Although there are certain guidelines
for frequency/bit rates/transmission power/etc. the FCC has taken the position that the marketplace
should decide or dictate what formats will best serve the public.
The interlace scan process was first used with
NTSC broadcasts to conserve video bandwidth
space. With certain scenes or video material
the interlace process can cause image blurring
or other visual screen artifacts.
INTERLACE FIELDS
(Separate scans sent every 1/60 of a second)
*60 frames per second
