Appendix B-1

From time to time there may be some high definition (HD) broadcasts, delivered by satellite or

cable, that will require HD receivers with special connectors in order to view such broadcasts in

HD format. Primarily these broadcasts are expected to be pay-per-view events, movies or

specials and first broadcasts of events, movies or specials that have special copy protection

requirements. This HD receiver does not have the special connectors required to view these

programs in HD format. These programs may also be broadcast on standard definition (SD)

channels, which this receiver will be able to receive. In this case your on-screen displays will

advise you to select the SD channel in order to view the program.

For best performance and longest life, the normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV

picture types. The most frequently used picture types should fill the screen with constantly

moving images rather than stationary images or patterns. Displaying the same stationary patterns

over extended periods of time, or displaying the same stationary patterns frequently, can cause

uneven aging of the TV picture tubes and leave a subtle, but permanent, ghost image. Most TV

warranties do not cover this type of damage to the picture tubes. To avoid this, mix your viewing

pattern. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15 percent of your total TV

viewing in any one week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen

whenever possible. We also recommend that you reduce the contrast setting of your TV when

you watch that type of image. We also recommend that you normally use the “cropped” setting

in this receiver’s AV Setup Menu. When possible, you may wish to use your television’s PIP,

POP, ZOOM, EXPAND, or other picture shape controls so that the moving images fill the screen.

Please check your TV’s owner’s guide for other recommendations.

Examples of stationary images include:

●Letterbox top/bottom bars. These are solid colored bars that appear when showing a

wide-screen (16:9) image on a standard (4:3) TV.

●Side panels. These are the solid-colored side bars when showing standard-shaped (4:3)

TV images on a wide-screen (16:9) TV.

●Information banners on music-only channels from satellite. During the enjoyment of

music-only channels from DIRECTV, we recommend that you connect the HD receiver

to your stereo system, and then turn off the TV after you have selected your desired

music channel.
