What To Expect

Watching TV

Analog Channels

An “A” at the bottom of the screen denotes that you are watching an analog channel. Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format. Your TV can display these channels in a 16/9 format by pressing the FORMAT buttons to view the different formats available. Go to page 35 for more explanation of screen formats.

Watching TV

Digital Channels

A “D” at the bottom of the screen denotes that you are watching a digital channel. Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format, which fills the screen. However, it is sometimes sent in 4/3 format, which does not fill your screen. The format is dependent on how the station or source component is configuring the video.

Note: 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 35 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 or the “ ” button. Enter the sub-channel number (1) and press OK.

•Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you may notice that the channels change more slowly than usual. This is perfectly normal. Digital cable channels sometimes take longer to tune.
