T
he “DTV Setup” menu
automatically takes care
of some of the digital channel
scan memory functions for
the DPTV. Once connected to
receive local digital broadcast
transmissions, available area
stations can be quickly added
into the DPTV's channel
memory for programmed
channel selection or access.

- Digital Channel Selection Delay -
• Due to the tuning complexity of “subchannel” digital
programming (see explanation section to the left), the
time to select and view a digital channel may take
slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accus-
tomed to (as compared to Analog channel programs.)
Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system
data information that also must be processed before the
channel selection can be displayed.
Analog vs. Digital Antenna Signals
(Strength and Direction Traits)
• Existing analog broadcast signals
experience
increasing picture snow/ghosts/or interference as
the transmitted signal travels further from the
original broadcasting tower. The farther out you
move the reception point, the more the broadcast
signal degrades or grows weaker.
• Digital broadcast reception maintains a clearer,
more interference free picture throughout its
broadcast range, but once the limit of its broad-
cast range is reached the picture will quickly
drop from the screen (rather than a slower pic-
ture quality degrade as is the case with analog
reception.)
- DTV Antenna Reception -
• Contact your dealer for the best
DTV Antenna reception options
available for your area.
Both Indoor and Outdoor omni-
directional UHF/VHF antennas
can be used to receive digital
broadcast signals, but seek your
dealer’s expert advice for the best
in quality equipment to match
your DPTV.

(Stereo redirects Left and

• Use Auto Volume to con-
trol the variable amount
of peak compression for
Dolby Digital audio avail-
able with ATSC broad-
casts. This can make for
even, more consistent
sound between program
changes, etc.

Note: The new standards (for
bandwidth and signal com-
pression) employed with digi-
tal ATSC broadcasting make
it possible to receive multiple
program channels under a
single “major” channel num-
ber. For example, under a tra-
ditional channel “6” broad-
cast program number you
might be able to find as many
as four or more additional
programs available for selec-
tion. These so called “sub-
channels” might carry a
“06.01, 06.02, 06.03, etc.” type
station number designation
and could be selected by
pressing a four digit remote
control direct-access channel
number entry.
The multiplication and diver-
sity of sub-channel program-
ming is contingent upon the
decisions of broadcasters and
how the space allocated for
high-definition television sig-
nals might be used. The con-
tent and information available
with sub-channels will be an
evolving digital issue which
could experience redirection
on a number of multicasting
information technology path-
ways. For example, the
“squeezing” of numerous
Standard Definition digital
channels (SDTV) into signal
bandwidths could be used
rather than dedicating the
total signal spectrum to true
High Definition (HDTV)
broadcasts that would rival
the picture resolution and
quality of film or cinema.
SUBCHANNEL SELECTIONS
• Note: Program and System Info or
(PSIP)
may, or may not, be present
with initial digital program broadcasts
available in your area.
You may wish to use the “Install
Without
Program and System Info”
option in order to display and program
DTV channels, and avoid any difficulties
in first time setup or autoprogramming
of the DPTV.
