HDMI and VGA Port This display

includes a HDMI input that receives analog or digital video signals through the interface for the display of high quality digital video signals. The HDMI port is HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compliant and is fully compatible with video equipment that features the HDCP function. The VGA input can be used for analog RGB signals from a HD Receiver or personal computer. Resolutions supported are VGA, SVGA, XGA and WXGA.

Service Port is reserved for manufacturer use. Incorrect use may damage the Display.

Antenna (ANT) Antenna receives signals from VHF/ UHF antennas or a cable system.

DTV Digital Television Input

The DTV input receives digital broadcasts programs on VHF/UHF TV signals from a built in ATSC digital receiver.

Audio Out The Audio Output sends the TV's connected audio signals to an A/V receiver or other equipment. Display features a R/L stereo output.

Component 1, 2 These inputs can be used for the connection of A/V equipment with component video outputs, such as a DVD player, Digital Satellite Receiver, or compatible Video Game System.

Video 1,2 These inputs can be used for the connection of a VCR, Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, or other video devices to the TV. There is a Video and an S-Video input for Video1 and video 2. When both inputs are used simultaneously on Video 1, only the S-Video input will be recognized. Same behavior for Video 2. The display will automatically detect the input being used.

NOTE: The S-Video input has a better quality of picture than a composite Video signal.

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.

OSD-DTV

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 maj or channel and channel -1, -2, etc. are the sub-channels.

Digital TV signals are transmitted in either free-to-air (FTA) or pay-perview (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".

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.

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.

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.

(b) NAB (Association of Broadcasters) has updates on the local DTV stations in operation at

Pixels Policy

Syntax's D.O.A. Policy for LCD TVs for Defective Pixels on LCD Panels

(Applicable to the LCD TV sold within USA & Canada only)

Syntax LCD TVs 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 TV screen displays under a black pattern; dark dots are dots that appear dark and unchanged in size when a LCD TV 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 TV 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.

In view of customers' concerns about dead pixels, Syntax 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. However, Syntax 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-8.

"At SyntaxGroups, a satisfied customer is our most important focus."
