Introduction to DTV

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 both VHF and UHF frequency 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 the 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-ST. 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-ST 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".

54

Adjusting On Screen Displays (OSD)

DTV Functions

The HDTV-ST Digital HDTV Receiver can receive channels from both
VHF band 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 HDTV­ST 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.

The key features of the HDTV-ST Receiver are described below.

Remote Control The remote control provides access to the full range
of system features. In addition to providing access to TV programs with
channel and volume controls, it can be used to operate all the system menus.
You must use the remote control to configure the channel settings, select
the channels you want to include in the program list and access many other
configuration options.

System Menus All the receiver's features can be accessed through the
system menus by simply pointing and clicking. You can navigate through
all the options in the menu and press "Select" button on the remote control
or "Enter" button on the front panel.
The menu includes items such as Channel Configuration, Channel List,
Audio Options, and Parental Lock.

Locks Access to certain channels with content that might not
be suitable for younger viewers can be controlled by password. Program
ratings are shown on the I-Plate, which can be activated by pressing the
"P.CTRL" key on the remote control. By pressing the "P.CTRL" twice,
you can access the extended program information for the current channel.

DTV Channel Table Information

*Log on to the website http://www.antennaweb.org and select "Choose
An Antenna". Enter your address and find the DTV stations airing the
EDTV / HDTV signal in your local area and then visit the local station
websites for program schedules. Usually the website names are the same
as the station's name. For example, DTV station WCBS (channel 56)
New York's website is http://www.wcbs.com and KCET (UHF channel 59)
Los Angeles's website is http://www.kcet.org.

However, the most accurate method for locating the local station's website
is through their parent Network. For example, to find WCBS New York,
check the CBS website. You can also contact the network service center
for detailed information about their local DTV program package.

Note: (a) Using the Antenna Web site, you can also get information about
choosing the correct type of antenna and the proper direction to point it
toward the DTV station you want to watch.

Syntax-Brillian LCD HDTVs are evaluated at a distance of approximately 50
centimeters (approximately 20 inches) between the LCD panel and the eyes of
the user at a 90 degrees viewing angle. All LCD panels have been tested to
ensure they comply with our factory standards. Our evaluation is based on the
number of defective pixels and the distance between any two defective pixels.
Bright dots are dots that appear bright and unchanged in size when a LCD HDTV
screen displays under a black pattern; dark dots are dots that appear dark and
unchanged in size when a LCD HDTV screen is displayed under pure red, green,
or blue patterns ("defective pixels"). Adjacent dots are dots located directly
next to each other.

Customers are required to check their LCD panel immediately after purchase.
To identify defective pixels, the LCD panel should be examined under normal
operating conditions as mentioned above, preferably in its native display
resolution, and with a 90 degrees viewing angle.

A LCD HDTV will be considered dead on arrival (D.O.A.) with regards to defective
pixels on the LCD panel when any one of the following criteria is met:

A total of 7 defective pixels including both bright dots and dark dots are
present (the typical 30" LCD Television screen has 16.7 million pixels), or
2 or more pairs of adjacent bright dots are present, or
3 adjacent bright dots are present, or
3 adjacent dark dots are present.

TM

In view of customers' concerns about dead pixels, Syntax-Brillian would like to
address that defective pixels are not ultimately avoidable with the current LCD
industry standard panel manufacturing processes. We always strive to improve
our technology and minimize the chance of occurrence of defective pixels by
applying strict screening processes in our factory production processes.

TM

However, Syntax-Brillian cannot guarantee that a return unit to our customers
will be 100% free of defective pixels.

For questions, please call our toll free service number in the USA at 888-Syntax-Brillian-8.
