What To Expect

Watching TV

•Remember: Look for an A at the top of the screen to see if you're watching an analog channel.

Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, or your TV/DVD can display these channels in a16/9 format by pressing the FORMAT buttons to view the different formats available. Go to page 37 for more explanation of screen formats.

•Remember: Look for a D at the top of the screen to see if you're watching a digital channel. Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fill your screen, but it is sometimes sent in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or source device is formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the FORMAT button to try a different format. This may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. Go to page 37 for more explanation of screen formats.

Changing Channels

•Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and sub-channels. To tune to a digital channel with a sub-channel, such as 10.1, enter the primary channel number (10), then press the right arrow button. Enter the sub-channel number (1) and press OK.

•Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you might notice that the channels change slower than you’re used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital cable channels sometimes take longer to tune.
