2-2. TV Signal Formats

Standard Comparison Table

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

four formats:

???480p - The picture is 704 x 480 pixels, sent at 60 complete frames per second (480i is also possible, sent at 60 interlaced frames per second).

???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 480i format is called SD. 480p format is called the ED format. 480i is roughly equivalent to a normal analog TV picture. The 720p and 1080i formats are called the HD formats.

Some analog 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.

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

You can connect the DIRECTV?? HD Receiver in a variety of configurations. The answers to the follow- ing 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.

4-3. Programming the Remote Control

The DIRECTV?? HD Receiver remote control is a multi-brand or universal remote control that can be programmed to control most remote-controllable devices from 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 codes 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. Press the POWER button.

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.

5. INITIAL SETUP

IMPORTANT: Check your TV owner???s manual for the prefered or required video format. The appropriate format should be set using the DISPLAY FORMAT button on the front panel of the DIRECTV?? HD Receiver. If the correct format is not selected, the on-screen display and video may not appear correctly or may not appear at all. If an image does not appear, check the Format setting (see section 2-3).

When you turn on the DIRECTV?? HD 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, you should initialize the system according to section 8-7. (See section 8-7 if applicable.)

If you do not have a dish, you should select ???NO???. This means you can receive only off-air and cable broadcasts (analog & digital).

Although this setup process will be displayed only once, you can change your selection at any time in the future using the DIRECTV Initial setup menu.

If you have chosen to subscribe to DIRECTV service, you should contact DIRECTV at 1-800- DIRECTV (or 1-800-347-3288) and order programming.

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 printed on it.

8-7. Initializing the System

About Initial Setup

The DIRECTV?? HD Receiver is capable of receiving three types of signals; ANT, CABLE and DIRECTV?? programming (if you are a DIRECTV customer). Initial Setup lets you initialize your system to function properly with your dish antenna.

Setup Wizard

Provides whole sequential process from dish selection (Step 1) to channel setup (Step 5).

Step 1. Dish Setup

As first step, you should select one of three dish setup modes ( Manual Selection / Auto Detection /No Dish ).

Manual Selection allows you to select the correct dish type among three different types available; Round Dish for Satellite Network A only, Oval Dish for Satellite Networks A and B, or Oval Dish for Satellite Networks A, B, and C. For advice on selecting a dish that will provide the services that you desire, contact DIRECTV (1-800-DIRECTV) or your local DIRECTV retail expert. If you already have a dish, refer to its user???s guide to determine its type. To receive all available HD programming, you should install and select the Oval dish type (Oval dish (Sat A, B, C)).

The Auto Detection feature will help you select your dish if you are unsure of your dish type.

If you are not a DIRECTV customer and want to view programming only from Antenna/Cable, then select the No Dish Mode.

8-7. Initializing the System

To Select your dish type in Manual Selection:

1.Press the MENU button on the Remote Control to display the on-screen menu.

2.Select the DIRECTV?? menu by pressing ??? ??? on the remote control.

3.Scroll down to Initial Setup using ???E???.

4.Move the highlight to the right with ???G??? to choose Setup Wizard.

5.Press ??? ??? and the Setup Wizard menu will be displayed.

6.Select the Manual Selection option and press ??? ???.

7.In the Manual Selection screen, select your dish type using ???DE???.

8.Press ??? ??? to move to the next step of the initial setup.

Step 2. Dish Positioning

Your Location provides the coordinates of elevation, azimuth, and tilt based upon your ZIP code. Elevation is the up/down angle of the dish. Azimuth is the side-to-side direction, while tilt is the circular rotation of the dish itself around the pointing axis. Full instructions for the installation of your dish are provided with your satellite dish antenna.

To enter your location:

1.Enter your ZIP code using the digit buttons on the remote control.

2.Press ??? ??? to show the elevation, azimuth and tilt.

Point your dish properly with the azimuth, elevation and tilt values given.

3.Press ??? ??? to move to the next step of the initial setup.

8. CUSTOMIZATION

8-7. Initializing the System

Step 3. Signal Strength

Depending on the Dish Type you have selected, the Signal Strength menu shows you up to three sig- nal strength bars for Satellite Networks A, B, and C, in order to help you adjust the dish to the cor- rect position with the elevation, azimuth, and tilt values obtained from the Your Location menu. While the maximum signal strength is 100, there will be no apparent difference in picture quality between signal strengths of 60 to 85. The higher the signal, the less likely you are to experience pic- ture quality degradation during adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow.

A transponder is a receiver/transmitter on the satellite. It receives signals from DIRECTV and retrans- mits them to your dish. The DIRECTV?? HD Receiver is capable of displaying the signal strength of most transponders by using the following method.

To see the signal strength:

1.Move the highlight to select the desired satellite using ???FG???.

2.Set an each transponder using ???DE???

3.Press ??? ??? to move to the next step of the initial setup.

8-23. Remote Control Setup

Your DIRECTV?? HD Receiver???s remote control can send signals to the HD Receiver in two ways. Standard IR (Infrared) and RF Control. Standard IR (Infrared) control allows the Remote Control to send signals to the HD Receiver within a line of sight. RF (Radio Frequency) control allows the remote con- trol to send signals from your easy chair, any location in the room, or even from another room within your home. The Remote Control RF Antenna must be connected to use the RF Remote feature (see sec- tion 3-8).

You can also choose to assign one of eight remote ID???s for IR Control or one of eight remote ID???s for RF Control. This can be useful if you have more than one satellite receiver in your home or if local RF sig- nals cause interference to your RF Remote control.
