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

ity 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.

What makes HD digital signals (including SD signals) special is that they provide a high reso-

lution 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.

Dolby Digital Sound with 5.1 Channels

The Zenith HD Satellite Receiver will be the focal center of your home entertainment system com-

prising 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.

GLOSSARY

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 select-

ed, audio outputs are decoded and transmitted in PCM mode.

3. SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

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 HD satellite 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: S-VIDEO, A/V (RCA_type), or RF coaxial?

- Do you want to use your HD satellite receiver with your audio or video systems?

- Do you have an audio or audio/video system? Consider integrating the HD satellite 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 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 fol-

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

provided on the following pages.

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.

NOTE

The remote control may not control

all models of other brands.

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.
