You can enjoy digital broadcasts. Digital broadcasts are better quality, more varied, and more controllable than analog broadcasts. By using digital functions such as rating, closed caption, or audio setting, you can make various adjustments to enjoy a digital broadcast.
To use the digital rating
Digital Rating is controlled by the Rating Region Table (RRT). The RRT is decided by the broadcaster. This table can be used as parental ratings. For details, see “Digital Rating” of “Parental” in “Options” setup (page 103).
Note
This recorder cannot receive the program guide table, therefore, you cannot set the rating in advance. But as the dimension that was set once is memorized, the future program will be able to refer this setting.
To use digital closed captions
Digital Closed Caption supports programs that have the caption service. If the support service number is selected, closed captions appear on screen. For details, see “Caption Service” in “Options” setup (page 105).
Note
Digital closed captions cannot be recorded.
