What To Expect

Watching TV

Remember: Look for an A at the bottom of the screen to see if

you're watching an analog channel.

Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which your TV displays these
channels in a 16/9 format. Press the ZOOM+/- button to view the
different formats available. Go to page 32 for more explanation of
screen formats.

Remember: Look for a D at the bottom of the screen to see if

you're watching a digital channel.

Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fi ll your
screen, but sometimes is sent in 4/3 which does not fi ll your
screen. It depends on how the station or source device is
formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the
ZOOM+/- button 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. Go to page 32 for more
explanation of screen formats.

Changing Channels

• Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog

channel number) and sub-channels. 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 either the
right arrow or the SUB CH button. 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.

Look for the A at the bottom of the screen to
see if you're watching an analog channel.

Look for the D at the bottom of the screen to
see if you're watching a digital channel.
