CAUTION

The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not
completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,
make sure the unit has been installed so that the
power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC
outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,
the power cord should also be unplugged from the
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time
(for example, when on vacation).

Appendix A: Interference with The HDTV Tuner

Weather Induced Signal Fading

Natural calamities may affect signal reception. If the terrestrial TV programming is
often affected by inclement weather conditions, there are a few basic steps you
can take to improve reception:

1. Make sure your antenna is aimed to receive the strongest possible signal.

2. If this does not solve the problem, consider installing a larger antenna with
higher gain. This can help to gather more signal transmitted from the TV station.

3. If you live in an area subject to frequent snow or freezing rain, you may need to
install a deicing system to eliminate the accumulation of unwanted ice, snow
or moisture from the surface of your antenna.

4. If the program reception is not good affected by heavy winds, you can stabilize
the antenna mast with cables.

Home Appliances' Interference

When you turn on home appliances like air conditioner and washing machine
while you are using the tuner, in a very rare case It is possible that the power
surge caused by turning on these home appliances may interfere tuner's performance.

In such case we suggest that you use a different AC power source (different AC
outlet) between SH-DT510 and other home appliances (devices which can generate
AC surge), or use a surge protector, available from computer, hardware or electrical
stores.

29

Appendix B: Troubleshooting

If you encounter any problems with the tuner, look through this section for a description
of your problem. Try solving the problem by following the given solutions. However,
if after attempting all the recommended actions you still cannot solve the problem,

come back.

(b) Check with the local TV stations. Sometimes

they are just testing new video services on
their channels and the video service may stop
every once in a while.

(a) Try "MANUAL SCAN" to scan these missing

channels.
This is caused by unexpected frequency
offset. For instance, in Sunshine Coast
Australia, channel 47 and 65 are transmitted
on 662.625 and 788.625 MHz, 125KHz offset
to the legitimate frequencies 662.5 and 788.5
MHz. Likewise channel 9A in Tasmania.
SH-DT510 can receive them by Auto Scan
most times, but we suggest you use Manual
Scan when first time installing the tuner. Once
the signal is picked up by the receiver, all the
transmission parameters will be stored in your
receiver's memory so that the next time you
can scan these channels using Auto Scan
without any problem.

(a) Try "AUTO SCAN" to scan all the channels

in VHF & UHF bands.

(b) If you still cannot get some channels please

use "MANUAL SCAN" to scan them one by
one.

(a) Check and make sure the frequency you

entered is exactly the center frequency of the
wanted channel.

(a) Make sure the channel you are watching

carries teletext information.

(b) Press "TTX" button on the remote control to

double check there's teletext data output.

(a) Enter into OSD menu and clean all channel

memory.

(b) Re-scan the channel using AUTO SCAN,

QUICK SCAN or MANUAL SCAN.

The following is a list of DVT channels available in Australia. First, into "MANUAL
SETUP" Second, select the VHF channel number, then use a middle frequency to
start search. (For instance, if you are in Sydney and want to scan Digital 7, First,
into MANUAL SETUP select Channel 6 and make sure the Frequency is177500
kHz, then start scanning)

Glossary

* Aspect Ratio : It is the ratio of the width of the screen to the height. The two

relevant digital TV formats are 16:9 (widescreen) or 4:3 (the traditional screen
ratio). 16:9 is more ergonomically suitable for the human eye.

* Bandwidth : Frequency range allows for carrying a certain radio signal. The

speed of data transmission depends on the available bandwidth of the
transmission channel.

* Coaxial Cable : A type of cable used to transmit high frequency signals e.g. from

the VHF/UHF antenna to the terrestrial Digital TV receiver.

* Composite Video : There are three elements of the video system : First - the

"active video" which means the picture to be displayed on the screen and
its associated colours. Second - the "sync" decides where to place each
pixel on the screen. Third - the "blanking" tells the display when to turn off
the electron beam so no retrace across the screen. These three elements
combined together is called "composite video" when connecting to a display
through connectors.

* DVB : Abbreviation for "Digital Video Broadcasting". An international organization

created in October 1993, whose primary objective is to achieve a common
framework for all technical platforms of digital broadcasting systems including
DVB-C (cable), DVB-S (satellite), DVB-T (terrestrial), DVB-MC (MMDS),
DVB-CS (SMATV).

* EPG : Abbreviation for "Electronic Program Guide". Software that enable viewers

to navigate through the large number of channels offered by digital TV broadcaster
and select the desired services.

* Frequency : The property of a signal which is measured in cycles per second(=Her tz).

* HDCP : HDCP is a specification developed by Intel Corporation to protect digital

entertainment content access the HDMI interface.

* HDMI : Abbreviation for High-Definition Multimedia Interface to provide crystal-

clear digital quality over a signal cable.

* Letterbox : The picture with aspect ratio 16:9 in a 4:3 TV screen with blank lines

on top and bottom. It is the means to watch a wide screen TV program on
a 4:3 TV screen.

36

* Megahertz (MHz) : Millions of cycles per second, which describes frequencies

of radio wave or electric current.

* OSD: Abbreviation of "On Screen Display", used in digital set top box. OSD is

comprised of a main menu and many submenu with lots of options of functions
inside.

* PAL : Stands for "Phase Alternating Line", the European video standard which has the image

format of 4 by 3,625 horizontal lines, 50 Hz and a total 8 MHz of video channel width.

* PID : Stands for "Packet Identifier". It is a code used for identifying video, audio PCR and other

elements that form a particular service in the transport stream.

* RF Channel : Radiated Frequency Channel, for instance channel 28 for SBS Network in analog

TV transmission. However in digital TV, one RF channel may carry 4 to 6 subchannels like
SBS HD, SBS Digital.

* S-Video (also called Y/C) : The standard for the way a video signal is carried on the cable. Y

represents brightness and C represents colour. S-Video cables have separate wires for the
colour and brightness so it offers a better picture quality than the composite video.

* VHF : Stands for "Very High Frequency", starts from 30 to 300 MHz corresponding to channels 5-

12, including Bands I, II and III.

* UHF : Stands for "Ultra High Frequency", starts from 300 to 3000 MHz corresponding to channels

28-69, including Bands IV and V.

* Y/Pb/Pr : Component Video Output. It is better than S-Video and Composite Video output in terms

of picture quality. Y/Pb/Pr is the standard HDTV connector.
