1. Follow these directions in order not to damage the power cord or plug.

 Do not modify or process the power cord or plug arbitrarily.  Do not bend or twist the power cord too much.  Make sure to disconnect the power cord with holding the plug.  Separate heat appliances from the power cord as distant as possible in order

to prevent the cover from being melted.

2. Failure to follow one of them may cause electrical shock.

 Do not open the main body.  Do not insert metals or inflammable objects inside the product.  Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand.  Disconnect the power cord in case of lightning.  Do not cover the receiver’s ventilation openings with items such as newspapers,

clothes, etc.

 Do not place the receiver on top of household appliances that emit heat.

3. Do not use the product when it is out of order. If you continue to use the product with a defect, it can cause a serious damage to the product. Make sure to contact your local product distributor when the product is out of order.

ENG

LIGHTNING: If the STB is installed in an area subject to intense lightning activity,

protection devices for the STB mains connector and modem telephone line are essential. The individual manufacturer’s instruction for safeguarding other equipment, such as TV set, Hi-Fi, etc., connected to the STB must also be followed during lightning storms.

NNoottee : Dispose the used batteries at designated place for environment protection.

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

What are SDTV and HDTV?

SDTV

SDTV is a digital TV format that provides a high quality picture at resolutions that can be displayed on standard TV sets (see more on resolutions later in this chapter).

HDTV

HDTV is a digital TV format that provides the highest quality picture at resolutions that can be displayed on computer monitors and HDTV-ready TV displays (see more on resolutions later in this chapter).

Resolution

Resolution refers to the number of pixels on the screen. The higher the resolution, the better the visual quality. Digital broadcasts are classified into HD and SD grades according to the visual quality. In general, HD (High Definition) grade supports resolutions of 1920x1080i and 1280x720p and an aspect ratio of 16:9 for both ATSC and DVB standards. SD (Standard Definition) grade supports resolutions of 720x480p and 720x480i for the ATSC standard, and supports resolutions of 720x576p and 720x576i for the DVB standard. SD grade usually supports an aspect ratio of 4:3. However, it may differ depending on the region.

DVB-T(Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting)

What is DVB-T? DVB-T is a European terrestrial digital broadcasting standard. DVB-T also refers to digital broadcasting that complies with the DVB-T standard. The DVB-T standard has been developed so that a digital broadcasting signal can be sent through the UHF/VHF channels that are currently allocated for analog broadcasting channels. The advantages of this standard include robustness against multi-path delay spread and SFN (Single Frequency Network) support. In addition, a mobile user can receive the signal.

Aspect ratio

In addition to resolution, HDTV is also defined by the aspect ratio of its broadcasts. Aspect ratio means the shape of the screen as defined by the ratio of the screen’s width to its height. For analog TV and SDTV, the aspect ratio is 4 units wide by 3 units high (usually written 4:3). This is the familiar shape of conventional TVs — slightly wider than they are tall. For HDTV broadcasts, the aspect ratio is 16:9 (nearly twice as wide as it is tall). This is, not coincidentally, more like the shape of movies shown in theaters. This makes HDTV an ideal format for broadcasting and viewing movies on a TV. But what happens if you are watching a nearly square-shaped 4:3 broadcast on a rectangular 16:9 TV, or vice-versa? The HD Receiver allows you to choose from a variety of screen formats to help you deal with those scenarios.

ENG

Screen formats

To deal with the mismatches that can occur between the shapes of TVs and the aspect ratios of program broadcasts, the HD Receiver provides you with a set of screen format controls. These controls allow you to pick a format to use for both 4:3 TVs showing 16:9 programs, and for 16:9 TVs showing 4:3 programs. Here is an explanation of the options. (Details for setting this preference are included in page 34.)

Dolby®Digital 5.1

Dolby Digital 5.1 provides 5 discrete channels of digital audio information for use by A/V receivers capable of decoding the 5.1 channel signal. The audio signals are broken into left-front, center, right-front, left-rear, right-rear and a low-frequency effects channel (designed for subwoofers). The result when connected to a compatible Dolby Digital 5.1 channel A/V receiver and speaker setup is a home theater experience that provides much of the dynamic range, 360-degree imaging, and sonic excitement of a real theater. To take full advantage of the Dolby Digital 5.1 capabilities of the HD Receiver, you will need a Dolby Digital 5.1 compatible A/V receiver connected to the HD Receiver through the Dolby Digital Optical jack or the Dolby Digital Coaxial jack. AC-3 is a sound encoding/decoding technology developed in 1987 for movie theatres and means an AC-3 bit stream. AC-3 is used synonymously with Dolby Digital nowadays.

ENG-4

DVI (Digital Video Interface)

DVI is a video interface standard that directly outputs the digital video signal from a digital device without converting the signal from analog to digital so as to provide a clearer picture by preventing the degradation of the visual quality through the transmission and conversion operations. There are 2 types of DVI cables. DVI-D Cable: Used for digital signal transmission DVI-I Cable: Used for digital and analog RGB signal transmission

CONNECTING YOUR STB

Setting Up TV Operations with the Remote Control

Enter the manufacturer number into the remote control to control the TV with the remote control (see “Available TV Manufacturer Numbers” on pages 40~45).

1. Turn the TV on.

2. Point the remote control towards the TV.

3. Enter the TV manufacturer number by using the NUMERICAL keys while pressing the TV key.

E.g. For a Samsung TV, press 0, 0 and 1 in this order by using the NUMERICAL keys while

pressing the TV key.

4. When the TV is turned off or on, the configuration is finished.

There is a model that can only be turned on by pressing the numeric key ‘0’ on the remote control.

TV models of other manufacturer that can be controlled with the remote control

are limited, and some functions may not work.

If you replace the remote control batteries or enter a new manufacturer number,

the previously configured TV manufacturer number is deleted.

When a connected device is an integrated TV model (VCR, DVDP), take care when using the remote control because it may operate both of them simultaneously.

If the configuration number does not work, try another number.

Press to turn the TV on or off.

Press to select an external input source for the TV.

Press to adjust the TV volume / Exclusive to the TV

Press to select a TV channel.

Press to mute the TV sound.

Location of the receiver

Your STB should be placed under proper ventilation. Don’t put in completely enclosed cabinet that will restrict the flow of air, resulting in overheating. The location should be safeguarded from direct sunlight, excess moisture, rough handling or household pets. Avoid stacking other electronic components on the top of the receiver. The location should be safely accessible by the cable from your antenna system.

Connecting the receiver with aerials

You can connect the receiver to the following type of aerials:

● Use a standard outdoor roof aerial intended for

receiving channels between VHF and UHF.

● Because many older roof-mounted aerials may only

receive a limited number of channels, it is difficult or impossible to receive digital channels transmitted on higher frequencies. If so, you may replace the roof aerial.

● Some outdoor aerials are directed towards an

analogue transmitter. The aerial must be directed towards a digital TV transmitter.

● It is not desirable to use indoor or window mounted

aerials, as it will be difficult or impossible to receive digital channels.

NNoottee : In some region, the digital terrestrial signal

may be weak. In order to receive channels with a weak signal, a booster may need to be installed into your antenna system.
