6. SETTINGS
a. Confirm the HDD is powered on and the input signal cable is connected to the antenna input
port on the rear of the HDD.
b. Select input signal type, Off-Air (8VSB) or Cable (QAM) using the HDD Air/Cable
Selection Button.
c. Press the HDD Scan button. The HDD will initiate a channel scan for available
signals/channels in the given area. “SEARCH” will appear in the HDD Display. The scan process
can take several minutes. Based on knowing what channels are available in the area you can
determine which of the signals needs to be converted and demodulated.
d. When the channel scan is complete one of the found channels numbers will be shown in the
HDD Display. The HDD may find multiple channels. Use the CH+ and CH- Buttons to scroll
through the available channels until you find the desired channel to be converted and
demodulated. The HDD Lock LED will light up indicating a channel has been found and selected.
e. The desired channel should have sufficient signal strength to produce a quality image. Use the
HDD Signal Strength Meter. Each segment on the meter represents 15% signal strength ranging
from 15% or less for the bottom (red) bar up to 90% or greater for the top and last bar.
f. The HDD includes an alternate Audio function (SAP) which allows the user to select from
English or Spanish audio content (if available). To select English audio press the Audio button on
the HDD until the display reads Lang1. To select Spanish audio press the Audio button on the
HDD until the display reads Lang2.
Note: Some broadcasters do not default the SAP audio back to English audio if the program being
broadcast does not support SAP. When a program does not support SAP but the HDD is set to
Lang2, there will be no audio outputted of the HDD. This is a function of the broadcasters
transmission and in no way means the HDD is defective.
g. The HDD also includes a Aspect/Zoom feature that allows the selected channel picture to be
displayed either as 4:3 Full, Letterbox, Center, and Zoom for standard screen display or 16:9
Letterbox, Center, and Zoom for widescreen display. You may use the HDD Aspect/Zoom
Button to select the desired screen format to be displayed on the television. However, the Zoom
feature is channel dependent. Further, as the Zoom setting could be considered a viewer
preference it may be advisable leave the setting in the default position. Note: The available aspect
ratio may be channel and program dependent making selection impossible. Selected aspect ratio
and format will be shown on the HDD Display.
