Digital broadcasting is a new way of sending programs over the airwaves with superior qual-

ity video and audio. The DIRECTV High-Definition Receiver enables you to take full advan-

tage 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 categories: 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.

The digital TV standards allow several different formats. Broadcasters can choose between

three formats:

• 480p - The picture is 704 x 480 pixels, sent at 60 complete frames per second (480i is

also possible).

• 720p - The picture is 1280 x 720 pixels, sent at 60 complete frames per second.

• 1080i - The picture is 1920 x 1080 pixels, sent at 60 interlaced frames per second (30

complete frames per second).

(The “p” and “i” designations stand for “progressive” and “interlaced.” In a progressive for-

mat, the full picture updates every sixtieth of a second. In an interlaced format, half of the pic-

ture updates every sixtieth of a second.)

The 480p and 480i formats are called the SD formats, and 480i is roughly equivalent to a nor-

mal analog TV picture. The 720p and 1080i formats are called the HD formats.

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 maximum 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.

the front panel changes the display format in the cycle of 1080i, 720p, 480p, video1/2(480i),

variable 1, variable 2, variable 3 and Auto DVI modes. In 1080i, 720p, 480p and video

1/2(480i) modes, all input signal formats are converted to the chosen display format. In vari-

able 1, variable 2 and variable 3 modes, output display format is automatically adapted

depending on input signal format. In Auto DVI mode, the output display format is automati-

cally adapted depending on the type of monitor that is connected.

Dolby Digital Sound with 5.1 Channels

The DIRECTV High-Definition 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 send-

ing audio signals from the DIRECTV HD Receiver to your audio system externally. HD digital signals

use the Dolby Digital audio encoding system - the same digital sound used in many movie theaters, on

DVDs, and in many home theater systems.

When you tune to a channel, the DIRECTV HD 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.)

GLOSSARY

Dolby Digital, formally known as AC-3 for Audio Coding 3rd Generation or

“5.1” channel audio, is a coding technique that can provide up to five inde-

pendent, 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).

3-3. General Recommendations

CAUTION: Make all connections before plugging the power supply cord into a standard 120V, 60Hz AC

power outlet.

You can connect the DIRECTV High-Definition Receiver in a variety of configurations. The answers to

the following questions will determine the correct setup for you.

- What type of antennas do you have? Satellite dish, cable, and/or over-the-air antennas.

- What type of connectors does your TV or VCR have: Y/PB/PR, RGB, DVI-HDTV, S-VIDEO, A/V (RCA-

type), or RF coaxial?

- Do you have an external audio or audio/video system? Consider integrating the DIRECTV HD

Receiver into a home theater configuration to take advantage of the audio capabilities of your Dolby

Digital System (Digital) or Hi-Fi System (Analog).

- Does your TV have Y/PB/PR connectors? Use it to connect your TV to the DIRECTV HD Receiver. An

Y/PB/PR connection provides a better picture than S-VIDEO, RCA-type video, or RF connections.

- Does your TV have an S-VIDEO jack? Use it to connect your TV to the DIRECTV HD 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 fol-

low the guidelines listed below when you hook up your components. Detailed hook-up instructions are

provided on the following pages.

ture may not appear if the wrong format mode is selected.

When you turn on the DIRECTV High-Definition Receiver for the first time, you will be asked

if you want to set up DIRECTV programming.

If you have chosen to subscribe to DIRECTV programming (or service), you should initialize

the system according to section 8-6.

If you don’t have any dish, you should select “NO”. This means you can receive only off-air

broadcast (analog & digital).

This setup process will be displayed only once. This means that you can change your selec-

tion at any time in the future using the DIRECTV Initial setup menu.

If you have chosen to subscribe to DIRECTV programming, you should contact DIRECTV at 1-

When you order programming, you need to know your access card number. To get this num-

ber, press MENU on the remote control, then select SYSTEM on the Menu. Select System

Test on the screen, and you will see the Access Card Identifier. Another way to find the num-

ber is by taking out the access card and referring to the number written on it.

7-3. Moving through the Advanced Program Guide

The Advanced Program Guide is operated based on a simple and straightforward “Highlight

and Select” process.

1. Use “^{DEF G}” on your remote control to navigate the guide screen.

2. Press “ ” to select or execute the highlighted menu or function.

The on-screen guide shows you program listings for seven channels within an one and one half

hour time slot. For example: 6:00-7:30. In order to view a list of future programs or other chan-

nels, you may continuously press “^{DEF G}” to scroll horizontally or vertically. This may take a

while to reach a specific channel or program, if the channel or program is listed far from the

currently highlighted program. The Advanced Program Guide thus offers you shortcuts to

minimize your effort in navigating channels and time slots.

Line Scrolling

You can reach other time slots or channels that are currently hidden from the screen using the

arrow buttons “^{DEF G}”. Move horizontally to reach other time slots and move vertically to

reach other channels.

Page Scrolling

You can move faster vertically by scrolling page by page with the CH +/– buttons on the remote

control. Each button stroke scrolls one page up or down.

Date Scrolling

You can scroll time slots day-by-day using the CC button on the remote control. Alternatively,

you can move the highlight to the Date Change Box and change the date to jump to the time slot

of that day.

Direct Jumping

You can quickly jump to a page that contains a specific channel by directly entering a channel

number using the digit buttons “0~9” on the remote control.

Pressing “ ” following the digit button strokes will move to the channel immediately.

NOTE

Press the Guide button to return immediately to the

guide menus, the left-most column of the guide

screen. This is very useful when the highlight is

located far from the current time and you want to

return to the guide menus.
