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.

Antenna Installation and Orientation

In many areas, an indoor antenna can be used to received DTV signals. Certain conditions, however, may create a situation where an outdoor antenna is required. Tall buildings, large metal objects (e.g., a water tower) or hills may block the line-of-sight to the TV station and interfere with DTV signal reception. Keep the following in mind when installing and orienting your outdoor antenna. For additional information about antennas, see the Consumer Electronics Manufacturing Association (CEMA) website at www.AntennaWeb.org or ask your local dealer.

Yagi

r Choose an antenna with directional receiving characteristics such as a Yagi, log periodic,

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

• Tuning Mode

• Recall Display Mode

• Aspect Ratio Change Mode

• Exiting Tuning Mode

Normal Viewing Mode

Normal Viewing Mode is defined as only the video being displayed and possibly closed captioning data. When HDTV Digital Receiver is first powered on, it will be in the Normal Viewing mode.

Note: The first time the HDTV Digital Receiver is powered On, all channels except those

exceeding the MPAA or TV rating limits and channels not authorized by the DIRECTV are shown.

Once the user has created a favorite channel list, the HDTV Digital Receiver will channel surf only to channels that are part of the favorite channel list. The user may tune to a channel that is not a member of the favorite channel list by entering in a channel number, explained in the Direct Tuning Method section. The user must add this channel using the menu system.

Tuning Mode

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.

Programming the Remote Control

The Universal Remote Control can be programmed to operate many manufacturers’ components using the component function buttons for VCR, DVD, AUX (RCVR, CD, TAPE, CASSETTE DECK and LD), CBL, DTV, TV, or DBS. Follow the procedures for programming your Remote Control with and without codes for the component. Determine the manufacturer of the component and look in the table for the code.

Note: Be careful to press ACTION in the middle of the button. If you do not press in the

middle of the button, the arrow buttons may be activated. This will interrupt your programming.

Programming With Code

• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and is turned on.

• Turn the component off.

• Press the ACTION and POWER button, together, for at least 5 seconds. All mode buttons will flash, then let go of the buttons.

• Press appropriate component button (VCR, CBL, etc.) on the Remote Control. The pressed button will illuminate steadily. All other buttons will go out.

• Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote Control numeric keypad (0 ~ 9 buttons). If a proper code was entered, the mode button will blink twice and go out.

• Press the Remote Control POWER button to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Programming Without Code

This procedure searches all codes and is called the “sequence method”.

• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and is turned on.

• Turn the component off.

• Press the ACTION and POWER button, together, for at least 5 seconds. All mode buttons will flash, then let go of the button.

• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control. The pressed button will illuminate. All other buttons will go out.

• Press the button to move forward to the next code. Press the button to move backward.

• Press the Remote Control POWER button to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on.

Note: Repeat the preceding two steps until the component code is found. It may take many attempts

before the correct code is found.

• After the code is found, press the ACTION button to store the code.

Unsuccessful Code

If the component does not operate with the Remote Control, repeat the procedure using another code. (Some brands have multiple codes.) If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure takes longer than 30 seconds, the programming will fail.

COMPONENT CODES

Component Codes

The Universal Remote Control is capable of operating many component brands after entering a code. Some components may not operate because memory is limited. The Universal Remote Control does not control all features in all models.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF HDTV DIGITAL RECEIVER

Special Features of HDTV Digital Receiver

Impulse Pay Per View (IPPV)

You must connect your phone line to the HDTV Digital Receiver to receive pay per view (PPV) service offered by DIRECTV. Connecting the phone line permits you to use the IPPV feature, which allows event purchases without calling a CSR (Customer Service Representative). If you decide against connecting to your phone line, you must call the CSR to purchase events, such as Pay per view movies. DIRECTV refers to such CSR assisted purchases as OPPV (Order ahead pay per view). When OPPV or subscription authorization changes (e.g., customer cancels the movie purchases), the HDTV Digital Receiver will reflect that change immediately. The HDTV Digital Receiver will display a message, identifying the reason for the authorization status change.

The HDTV Digital Receiver has the ability to allow you to purchase a PPV event offered by DIRECTV. When the HDTV Digital Receiver is tuned to an IPPV channel, (video may or may not be displayed, depending upon whether the PPV event has started) the following message is displayed on the screen.

Press ACTION if you want to purchase this event.
