Enjoying Digital Broadcasts
You can enjoy digital broadcasts. Digital
broadcasts are better quality, more varied, and
more controllable than analog broadcasts. By
using digital functions such as rating, closed
caption, or audio setting, you can make various
adjustments to enjoy a digital broadcast.
To use the digital rating
Digital Rating is controlled by the Rating Region
Table (RRT). The RRT is decided by the
broadcaster. This table can be used as parental
ratings. For details, see “Digital Rating” of
“Parental” in “Options” setup (page 85).
Note
This recorder cannot receive the program guide table,
therefore, you cannot set the rating in advance. But as the
dimension that was set once is memorized, the future
program will be able to refer this setting.
To use digital closed captions
Digital Closed Caption supports programs that
have the caption service. If the support service
number is selected, closed captions appear on
screen. For details, see “Caption Service” in
“Options” setup (page 87).
Note
Digital closed captions cannot be recorded.
