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, or your TV can display these channels in a 16/9 format by
pressing the FORMAT button to view the different formats available. Go to page 35 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 fill your screen, but it is sometimes
sent in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or source device
is formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the FORMAT button to try a
different format. This may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of
the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. Go to page 35 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, enter the
primary channel number (10), then press the right arrow 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.
