Channel Lock
The Channel Lock setting provides a way for you to set your HD receiver to permanently stay on
a specified channel. When the setting is anything other than “- - - -” the HD receiver will always
power up on that channel and will ignore any attempts to change the channel. To allow channel
changing to function again, set this option to “Off.”
Factory Defaults
To reset the HD receiver preferences, select the Factory Defaults button on the ADVANCED
PREFERENCES screen.
Audio/Video Setup
Highlighting the A/V Setup button on the SETUP MENU screen and pressing the key on
the remote control will display the AUDIO/VIDEO SETUP screen.
Note: The gray bars that occur in the side panels mode can increase the
chance of uneven picture tube aging. Because of this, it is recommended that
you use the full or cropped mode instead.
Audio
The AUDIO option on the Audio/Video Setup menu
enables you to specify the language track for
programs you watch. While English is the default
language, you may choose an alternate language. If
your chosen language is available for the program,
you will hear that language. Otherwise, you will hear
the primary language in which the program was
produced.
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital option lets you turn the Dolby
Digital output On or Off. This setting affects the optical DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port on the back
of the HD receiver. When set to On, Dolby Digital audio is sent to your Dolby Digital AV
receiver for decoding. If the program does not have Dolby Digital audio, then standard PCM
digital audio is sent. When set to Off, the digital audio is always PCM digital audio. This setting
is used with AV receivers that decode PCM digital audio but not Dolby Digital audio.
WARNING
Before using the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT connector with a
standard PCM (i.e., not Digital
Dolby) digital bitstream decoder/
receiver, set the Dolby Digital
option on the Advanced Preferences screen to
“Off.” Failure to do this could result in a high
level noise and could be harmful to your ears
and equipment.
