What To Expect
Watching TV
Analog Channels
An “A” next to the channel number denotes that you are watching an analog channel. Analog video is
sent in a 4/3 format. 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 24 for more explanation of screen formats.
Watching TV
Digital Channels
A “D” next to the channel number denotes that you are watching a digital channel. Most digital video is sent in
a 16/9 format, which fills the screen. However, it is sometimes sent in 4/3 format, which does not fill your
screen. The format is dependent on how the station or source component is configuring the video.
Note: 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 signal is sent by the broadcaster. Go to page 24 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 “.” button. Enter the sub-channel number (1) and press OK.
• Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you may notice that the
channels change more slowly than usual. This is perfectly normal. Digital channels sometimes take
longer to tune.
