Digital broadcasting is a new way of sending programs over the airwaves with superior quality video and audio. The DIRECTV ® High-Definition Receiver enables you to take full advantage of digital broadcasting. To fully enjoy it, you need to understand the ways the program signals are sent.
There are two types of TV signal formats; analog (often called NTSC format; National Television
System Committee) and digital (ATSC format; Advanced Television System Committee). Digital formats are classified into three categories: High Definition (HD), Enhanced Definition (ED), and
Standard Definition (SD) according to the resolution or digital picture quality.
There are also three ways that program signals can be received; over-the-air (NTSC, ATSC), cable, and satellite.

The digital TV standards allow several different formats. Broadcasters can choose between three formats:
• 480p - The picture is 704 x 480 pixels, sent at 60 complete frames per second (480i is also possible).
• 720p - The picture is 1280 x 720 pixels, sent at 60 complete frames per second.
• 1080i - The picture is 1920 x 1080 pixels, sent at 60 interlaced frames per second (30 complete frames per second).
(The “p” and “i” designations stand for “progressive” and “interlaced.” In a progressive format, the full picture updates every sixtieth of a second. In an interlaced format, half of the picture updates every sixtieth of a second.)
The 480p and 480i formats are called the SD formats, and 480i is roughly equivalent to a normal analog TV picture. The 720p and 1080i formats are called the HD formats.
Some NTSC televisions can display a picture 720 pixels wide by 480 pixels high, that’s a total of 345,600 pixels. HD digital signals can have a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080, that’s
2,073,600 pixels, or six times more pixels than the older resolution. Pictures will be crisper and cleaner, with more detail in every close-up and every panorama.

Dolby Digital Sound with 5.1 Channels
The DIRECTV ® High-Definition Receiver will be the focal center of your home entertainment system comprising a variety of components, such as TV, DVD, VCR, etc. and external audio systems. Since digital programs being broadcast contain digital-quality audio, you can create a home theater by sending audio signals from the DIRECTV HD Receiver to your audio system externally. HD digital signals use the Dolby Digital audio encoding system - the same digital sound used in many movie theaters, on
DVDs, and in many home theater systems.
When you tune to a channel, the DIRECTV HD Receiver can send signals either to a Dolby Digital decoder/receiver or to a PCM (normal digital) decoder. (* Refer to Section 3.7 Connection for Audio for making the required external connections to your system.)
GLOSSARY
Dolby Digital, formally known as AC-3 for Audio Coding 3rd Generation or
“5.1” channel audio, is a coding technique that can provide up to five independent, full frequency response audio channels (three in left, center, and right, two in rear left and right, and one low frequency effect for a sound you can feel).

3-3. General Recommendations
CAUTION: Make all connections before plugging the power supply cord into a standard 120V, 60Hz AC power outlet.
You can connect the DIRECTV ® High-Definition Receiver in a variety of configurations. The answers to the following questions will determine the correct setup for you.
- What type of antennas do you have? Satellite dish, cable, and/or over-the-air antennas.
- What type of connectors does your TV or VCR have: Y/PB/PR, RGB, DVI-HDTV, S-VIDEO, A/V (RCAtype), or RF coaxial?
- Do you have an external audio or audio/video system? Consider integrating the DIRECTV HD
Receiver into a home theater configuration to take advantage of the audio capabilities of your Dolby
Digital System (Digital) or Hi-Fi System (Analog).
- Does your TV have Y/PB/PR connectors? Use it to connect your TV to the DIRECTV HD Receiver. An
Y/PB/PR connection provides a better picture than S-VIDEO, RCA-type video, or RF connections.
- Does your TV have an S-VIDEO jack? Use it to connect your TV to the DIRECTV HD Receiver.
An S-VIDEO connection provides a better picture than RCA-type video or RF connections.
- Does your TV have RCA-type A/V connectors, but no S-video jack? Use your TV’s A/V connectors to connect your components. An A/V connection provides better picture and audio when compared to an RF connection.
Although there are numerous connections possible for optimum video and audio performance, try to follow the guidelines listed below when you hook up your components. Detailed hook-up instructions are provided on the following pages.
