2. IMPORTANT OVERVIEW

Digital broadcasting is a new way of sending programs over the airwaves with superior quality video and audio. The Zenith HD Satellite Receiver enables you to take full advantage of digital broadcasting. To fully enjoy it, you need to understand the ways the program signals are sent.

There are two types of TV signal formats; analog (often called NTSC format; National Television System Committee) and digital (ATSC format; Advanced Television System Committee). Digital formats are classified into three catagories: High Definition (HD) Enhanced Definition (ED) and Standard Definition (SD) according to the resolution or digital picture quality.

There are also three ways that program signals can be received; over-the-air (NTSC, ATSC), cable, and Satellite.

2-2. TV Signal Formats

What makes HD digital signals (including SD signals) special is that they provide a high resolution and wide format, like a movie (16:9 TV aspect ratio). On the other hand, analog signals have the standard or normal format (4:3 TV aspect ratio). Thus, you receive programs with two distinct formats. Like a wide movie screen, the HD digital signals are formatted more like the way we actually see; our field of vision is more rectangular than square. So, when we view movies in a wide screen format, the image fills more of our field of vision yielding a stronger visual impact. HD digital program signals use smaller pixels that are closer together. In the area taken up by a single pixel of a standard NTSC signal, HD digital signals will have four and a half pixels, four times the detail. The more pixels in a given area, the better the picture. Some NTSC televisions can display a picture 720 pixels wide by 480 pixels high, that's a total of 345,600 pixels. HD digital signals can have a resolution of 1920 x 1080, that's 2,073,600 pixels, or six times more pixels than the older resolution. Pictures will be crisper and cleaner, with more detail in every close-up and every panorama.

Digital Audio Signals

The Zenith HD Satellite Receiver will be the focal center of your home entertainment system comprising a variety of components, such as TV, DVD, VCR, etc. and external audio systems. Since digital programs being broadcast contain digital-quality audio, you can create a home theater by sending audio signals from the HD satellite receiver to your audio system externally. HD digital signals use the Dolby Digital audio encoding system - the same digital sound used in most movie theaters, on DVDs, and in many home theater systems. When you tune to a channel, the Zenith HD Satellite Receiver can send signals either to a Dolby Digital decoder/receiver or to a PCM (normal digital) decoder. (* Refer to Section 3.7 Connection for Audio for making the required external connections to your system.) Using the analog mode of the Zenith HD Satellite Receiver allows use of your Hi-Fi audio system instead of the TV speakers. This usually results in substantially improved sound.

Dolby Digital, formally known as AC-3 for Audio Coding 3rd Generation or “5.1” channel audio, is a coding technique that provides five independent, full frequency response audio channels (three in left, center, and right, two in rear left and right, and one low frequency effect for a sound you can feel). Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) decoders support L/R stereo only. If selected, audio outputs are decoded and transmitted in PCM mode.

GLOSSARY

206-3675

The analog audio outputs may be used to drive an external audio system. These stereo outputs are activated by setting the Analog mode in the Audio menu to Stereo.

If you set the Analog Mode to SAP (Second Audio Program), you can hear the program’s dialog in another language such as French or Spanish, if provided on the broadcast.

- Does your TV have an S-VIDEO jack? Use it to connect your TV to the HD satellite receiver.

An S-VIDEO connection provides a better picture than RCA_type video or RF connections.

- Does your TV have RCA type A/V connectors, but no S-video jack? Use your TV’s A/V connectors to connect your components. An A/V connection provides better picture and audio when compared to an RF connection.

Although there are numerous connections possible for optimum video and audio performance, try to follow the guidelines listed below when you hook up your components. Detailed hook-up instructions are provided on the following pages.

Protect your components from power surges by turning off the component and unplugging power cords when you make connections. Protect your component from overheating by keeping the ventilation holes open and not stacking components.

4-3. Programming the Remote Control

The HD satellite receiver remote control is a multi-brand or universal remote control that can be programmed to control most remote-controllable components of other manufacturers.

1. Test your remote control To find out whether your remote control can operate a component without programming, turn on the component such as a VCR and press the corresponding mode button (VCR) on the remote control while pointing at the component. Use the Power and CH +/- buttons to see if the component responds properly. If not, the remote control requires programming.

2. Turn on the component to be programmed. Then press the corresponding mode button on

the remote control.

3. Press the Power button and the Mute button simultaneously. The remote control is now

ready to program the code for the component.

4. There are two ways to find the right code of the component. First, if you press the CH +/- buttons repeatedly, the code will change one at a time. Press

the Power button after each code change. If the right code is found, the device will turn off.

Second, enter the code number using the digit buttons on the remote control. The right code numbers for the corresponding component can be found on the following pages. Again, if the code is correct, the device will turn off.

5. Press the Exit button to store the programming code.

6. Test the remote control functions to see if the component responds properly. If not, repeat

from step 2.

NOTE

The remote control may not control all models of other brands.
