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 can display these channels in a16/9 format
by pressing the FORMAT buttons to view the different formats available.
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 sometimes is 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 buttons to try a
different format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of
the way the format is sent by the broadcaster.
Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and
subchannels. To tune to a digital channel with a sub-channel, such as 10-1 as shown in the
graphic to the left, enter the primary channel number (10), then press SUB CH button. to
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.
