IMPORTANT
OVERVIEW
Digital
broadcasting
is
a
new
way
of
sending
programs
over
the
airwaves
with
superior
quality
video
and
audio.
The
DIRECTV
HD
Receiver
enables
you
to
take
full
advantage
of
digital
broadcasting.
To
fully
enjoy
it,
it
is
helpful
to
understand
the
ways
that
program
signals
are
sent.
There
are
two
types
of
TV
signal
formats;
analog
(often
called
NTSC
format;
National
Television
System
Committee)
and
digital
(ATSC
format;
Advanced
Television
System
Committee).
Digital
formats
are
classified
into
three
categories:
High-Definition
(HD),
Enhanced
Definition
(ED),
and
Standard
Definition
(SD)
according
to
the
resolution
or
digital
picture
quality.
There
are
also
three
ways
that
program
signals
can
be
received;
over-the-air
(NTSC,
ATSC),
cable
and
satellite.

TV
Signal
Formats
The
digital
TV
standards
allow
several
different
formats.
Broadcasters
can
choose
between
four
formats:
?
480p
-
The
picture
is
704
x
480
pixels,
sent
at
60
complete
frames
per
second
(480i
is
also
possible,
sent
at
60
interlaced
frames
per
second).
?
720p
-
The
picture
is
1280
x
720
pixels,
sent
at
60
complete
frames
per
second.
?
1080i
-
The
picture
is
1920
x
1080
pixels,
sent
at
60
interlaced
frames
per
second
(30
complete
frames
per
second).
(The
"p"
and
"i"
designations
stand
for
"progressive"
and
"interlaced."
In
a
progressive
for-
mat,
the
full
picture
updates
every
sixtieth
of
a
second.
In
an
interlaced
format,
half of
the
pic-
ture
updates
every
sixtieth
of
a
second.)
The
480i
format
is
called
SD.
480p
format
is
called
the
ED
format.
480i
is
roughly
equivalent
to
a
normal
analog
TV
picture.
The
720p
and
1080i
formats
are
called
the
HD
formats.
Some
analog
televisions
can
display
a
picture
720
pixels
wide
by
480
pixels
high,
that's
a
total
of
345,600
pixels.
HD
digital
signals
can
have
a
maximum
resolution
of
1920
x
1080,
that's
2,073,600
pixels,
or
six
times
more
pixels
than
the
older
resolution.
Pictures
will
be
crisper
and
cleaner,
with
more
detail
in
every
close-up
and
every
panorama.

General
Recommendations
You
can
connect
the
DIRECTV
HD
Receiver
in
a
variety
of
configurations.
The
answers
to
the
follow-
ing
questions
will
determine
the
correct
setup
for
you.
-
What
type
of
antennas
do
you
have?
Satellite
dish,
cable,
and/or
over-the-air
antennas.
-
What
type
of
connectors
does
your
TV
or
VCR
have:
Y/Pb/Pr,
RGB,
DVI-HDTV,
S-VIDEO,
A/V
(RCA-
type),
or
RF
coaxial?
-
Do
you
have
an
external
audio
or
audio/video
system?
Consider
integrating
the
DIRECTV
HD
Receiver
into
a
home
theater
configuration
to
take
advantage
of
the
audio
capabilities
of
your
Dolby
Digital
System
(Digital)
or
Hi-Fi
System
(Analog).
-
Does
your
TV
have
Y/Pb/Pr
connectors?
Use
it
to
connect
your
TV
to
the
DIRECTV
HD
Receiver.
An
Y/Pb/Pr
connection
provides
a
better
picture
than
S-VIDEO,
RCA-type
video,
or
RF
connections.
-
Does
your
TV
have
an
S-VIDEO
jack?
Use
it
to
connect
your
TV
to
the
DIRECTV
HD
Receiver.
An
S-VIDEO
connection
provides
a
better
picture
than
RCA-type
video
or
RF
connections.
-
Does
your
TV
have
RCA-type
A/V
connectors,
but
no
S-video
jack?
Use
your
TV's
A/V
connectors
to
connect
your
components.
An
A/V
connection
provides
better
picture
and
audio
when
compared
to
an
RF
connection.
Although
there
are
numerous
connections
possible
for
optimum
video
and
audio
performance,
try
to
fol-
low
the
guidelines
listed
below
when
you
hook
up
your
components.
Detailed
hook-up
instructions
are
provided
on
the
following
pages.
Protect
your
components
from
power
surges
by
turning
off
the
component
and
unplugging
power
cords
when
you
make
connections.
Protect
your
component
from
overheat-
ing
by
keeping
the
ventilation
holes
open
and
not
stacking
components.

Programming
the
Remote
Control
You
can
operate
your
TV,
VCR,
and
Audio/Video
receiver
using
your
HRMC-14
remote
control.
Use
the
Code
Scanning
or
Code
Entry
method
to
program
the
remote
control.
Code
scanning
may
be
more
time-
consuming,
but
you
don't
need
to
know
manufacturer's
control
codes.
Using
the
Code
entry
method
may
be
quicker,
but
you'll
need
to
know
the
correct
manufacturer's
control
codes
for
each
component
you
want
to
operate.
1.
Aim
your
remote
control
at
the
component
you
want
to
use.
2.
Hold
down
the
desired
device button
(TV,
for
example).
3.
Press
the

5.
The
device
button

does
not
light,
repeat
the
previous
steps.
6.
Use
one
of
the
two
programming
methods
described
above.
Code
scanning
To
use
this
method:
1.
Repeatedly
tap
the
top
part
of
the
CHANNEL
(CH)
button.
2.
Continue
to
step
through
the
codes
until
the
component
turns
off,
indicating
you
have
found
the
cor-
rect
component
code.
If
you
accidentally
pass
a
code
that
responds
or
realize
you
may
not
have
been
aiming
the
remote
control
at
the
component,
tap
the
lower
part
of
the
CHANNEL
(CH)
button
to
step
backward
through
the
codes.
3.
Press
the
remote
control
POWER
button
to
verify
the
proper
code
by
turning
the
device
on
and
off.
4.
Press
the
device
button
(in
this
example,
TV)
again
to
lock
in
the

Code
Entry
To
use
this
method:
1.
Find
the
three-digit
code
or
codes
for
the
type
and
brand
of
the
component
you
want
to
control
(in
this
example,
TV).
Refer
to
section
4-4.
2.
If
several
codes
are
listed,
you
may
have
to
try
some
or
all
of
them.
After
entering
a
code,
press
the
remote
control's
POWER
button
to
test
it.
The
correct
code
turns
the
device
on
and
off.
3.
Press
the

SAT)
button
