INFORMATION ON DIGITAL TELEVISION
Information on Digital Television
Digital Television
HDTV (High Definition Television)
HDTV signal formats are 1080i (interlaced scan) and 720p (progressive scan). HDTV
provides the highest resolution picture and audio in either stereo or 5.1 channel
surround sound.
SDTV (Standard Definition Television)
SDTV signal formats are 480p and 480i. SDTV provides lower resolution, yet presents
a very sharp clear picture. Lower resolution allows broadcasters to transmit multiple
programs per channel.
Digital Broadcasting and Cable TV
The FCC has not mandated any standards for cable operators at the time this manual
is printed. Some cable companies have announced plans to introduce digital cable
boxes into their markets. They may choose, however, to use the digital capability to
increase the number of channels available or to provide data capability, such as high
speed modem rather than transmit HDTV programming. Contact your local cable
provider to determine if digital cable is available and whether a cable box is needed for
converting the signals.
Digital Audio
Dolby* Digital surround sound (also commonly referred to as AC-3* or DD 5.1) is the
audio standard. AC-3 will provide digital-quality sound. The system provides 3
separate audio channels for the front speakers (left, center, right), 2 channels for the
rear surround sound speakers, plus one channel for subwoofer sound. You will need
an external audio system capable of decoding the AC-3 encoded sound to get the full
surround sound effect. Otherwise, it can be connected directly to your TV or audio
system using only the stereo (left/right) audio outputs.
Note: The stereo audio outputs are Dolby Surround compatible. You can connect a Dolby
Surround Pro Logic* decoder (not included) to the stereo audio outputs and receive
surround sound.

or reflector antenna. Avoid loop, wire bowtie, rabbit-ear and omni-directional antennas.
H Use good grade 75 Ohm coax (round) cable to connect the antenna to the HDTV Digital
Receiver. Do not use 300 Ohm flat twin-lead cable.
H Place the antenna away from large metal objects. If using an indoor antenna, remember
that aluminum siding and foil-covered insulation can greatly reduce the signal strength
inside your house.
H Point the antenna in the direction of the TV station. Allow a 4-6 second delay in tuning.
Log Periodic
Watch for a program to appear on the TV. If the signal indicator is “NOT FOUND” or if a
program comes and goes, try a slightly different position for the antenna. Slowly raising or
lowering the antenna by a few feet may help.
H Avoid standing in front of the antenna while adjusting its position. Move a few feet to the
rear to avoid changing the signal characteristics.
H If you are located in an area serviced by two (2) different DTV stations in different
directions, you may need an antenna rotator to receive signals from both stations.

FEATURES OF THE HDTV DIGITAL RECEIVER
Features of the HDTV Digital Receiver
Channel and Program Tuning - ATSC reception only
Channel and program tuning in digital television is very different from current
conventional television. In DTV, up to six (6) multiple programs can exist within a
single 6 MHz channel. These programs behave as subchannels within the single
channel. When tuning to a channel, the HDTV Digital Receiver will also tune to a
program. Your HDTV Digital Receiver will indicate the channel and program through
the on-screen Channel Banner display.
Channel and Program Tuning
The HDTV Digital Receiver allows channel and program selection in the following
ways:
r Direct Tuning (0 ~ 9 keys) - Tunes directly to a channel or program.
r Channel Up/Down Tuning (p or q buttons) - Tunes to the next or previous available
channel or program.
r Next Program Tuning (PROG button) - Tunes to the next program within a single 6 MHz
channel.
r Rapid Tuning (R-TUNE button) - Switches between the last two remembered channels or
programs.

FEATURES OF THE HDTV DIGITAL RECEIVER
Closed Captioning Suspension
When any OSD is required (i.e. Channel Banner, messages from DIRECTV, etc.), any
captioning service that is currently active will be removed from the display and any
further captioning will be suspended until the OSD operation completes.
Power On Requirements
When the HDTV Digital Receiver is powered on, the receiver will tune to the last tuned
channel. If this channel no longer exists, the receiver will tune to channel 100. Prior to
initial setup of the receiver, the receiver may automatically go to Setup menu or tune
to channel 100.
The Tuning Mode happens when the user attempts to change the channel. The HDTV
Digital Receiver will support 3 ways to change the channel, as outlined below:
Method Result
• Direct Tuning (0-9 and PROG keys) Tunes directly to a channel using
either single or compound numbers.
• Channel UP/Down Tuning (FGkeys) Tunes to the next/previous available
channel.
• Rapid Tune (R-TUNE) Switches between the last two
channels, accessed. This is
accomplished using the R-TUNE key
on the remote.
Direct Tuning Method
The HDTV Digital Receiver supports the tuning of either single or compound channel
numbers. The single channel numbers range from (0 to 9999) and compound channel
numbers (major-minor) can range from (0-0 to 999-99)*. The compound channel
number uses the “PROG” button to enter the minor number field. Following is an
example of Direct tuning screen.
