Note: The HD receiver will convert all video signals to High Definition (1080i format) and send these through the Y, Pr , and Pb connectors. Also the HD receiver will convert all video signals to Standard Definition (480i format) and send these through the OUT TO TV, VIDEO, and S-VIDEO connectors. When Standard Definition is being sent, the Y, Pr , and Pb connectors will not send any video. The HD receiver cannot send both HD and SD at the same time.

The Remote Control

Your HD receiver includes an RF/IR remote control and RF receiver. With this combination you can have complete control of your HD receiver anywhere in your house. Refer to “RF Remote Control Receiver” for instructions on setting up the RF receiver.

Each remote control can control your HD receiver and most TV brands, as well as VCRs and many other auxiliary devices such as cable boxes, amplifiers, and laser disc players.

The mode keys across the top of the remote control enable you to specify the device you intend to control. This is important since many devices share the same keys, such as the POWER key and the numeric keys. You must press the appropriate device key before pressing a command key to make sure the remote control sends the right signal to the right device. The only keys that deviate from this rule are the blue keys, as they are always associated with the HD receiver.

For the HD receiver only, the four directional keys will cause the on-screen highlight to move in the direction you want. The keys will be referred to as ▲, ▲, ▲, and ▲.

The select key ( SELECT ) is one of the most important keys. Pressing the SELECT key will tell the HD receiver that you wish to choose the highlighted item.

The arch of keys above the directional keys control frequently used functions. These include special action ( ACTION ), information

( INFO ), guide ( GUIDE ), exit ( EXIT ), and favorite ( FAV ) keys.

The ACTION key is unique because it does nothing by itself. Pressing it displays the action icon in the upper left corner of your screen for

a few seconds. During that time, other keys may be pressed to access special functions indicated in yellow above the keys. Refer to the chart on the next page for a list of ACTION key functions.
