Checking the Digital-Signal Strength - Digital
Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from “snowy” to clear,
digital(HDTV) channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at
all. So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. You can, however,
adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.

➢
These categories consist of two separate groups: TV-Y and TV-Y7 (young children through age 7), and TV-G through TV-MA
(everybody else). The restrictions for these two groups work independently: If a household includes very young children as well as
young adults, the TV guidelines must be set up separately for each age group.

How to Set up Restrictions Using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, X, NR
The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and its main application is for
movies. When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any programs that are coded with objectionable ratings
(either MPAA or TV-Ratings).

the visual quality is not satisfactory.
The HD(High Definition) caption that appears when switching channels or when pressing the
Information button on the remote control means the selected channel is a digital channel. If the
broadcasting station converts an analog signal into digital and transmits the signal, the visual
quality may not be perfect.
