INTRODUCTION
The HD-S23 Digital Terrestrial HDTV Receiver opens up to a new world of free-to-air terrestrial HDTV and SDTV
programmes. The receiver can receive channels from both VHF band and UHF band TV station’s signals. All the
major terrestrial free-to-air station numbers currently available in your area are listed in the on-screen menu. To

programmes.
The receiver is fully MPEG 2 / DVB-T compliant, delivering High Definition crystal-sharp video and Dolby®
Digital sound. As it supports a channel frequency range of 50-860 MHz, it can be easily programmed for all the
channels within the VHF and UHF frequency bands. To find out the channel frequencies in your area, please contact

FEATURES
HD 1080i Capability
High Definition (HD) brings a wide-screen format to the home television as well as a sharper picture. This receiver
corresponds with 1080i signal input and it fully recreates high definition screen quality.
Dolby® Digital
Dolby® Digital is the surround sound technology used in theatres showing the latest movies, and is now available to
reproduce this realistic effect in the home. You can enjoy motion pictures and live concert TV programmes with this
dynamic realistic sound by connecting HD-S23 receiver to a 6-channel amplifier equipped with a Dolby® Digital
decoder.
Teletext/Fastext
PIP (Picture-in-Picture)
This feature gives you the ability to view 2 different channels at the same time. One program can be viewed on the
main screen while another is simultaneously displayed in a smaller viewing window, often positioned in one corner
of the screen. The basic PIP system requires you to use the tuner of an externally connected video component such
as a VCR as the source for the second signal.
AUX Input
Allows you to select video input between Antenna and DVD/VCR.
Still Picture Display
Allows you to take a snapshot of a video at a particular instant as a still picture.
Wide-screen Picture Format
Wide-screen is the term given to picture displays that have a wider aspect ratio than normal. For example, the aspect ratio for
conventional TVs is 4:3 and for wide-screen TVs is 16:9. This receiver supports broadcasts in both formats.
