The visual qualities of digital channels may vary
depending on the original production method (analog
or digital).
• If the original production method is digital: High visual
quality program.
• If the original production method is analog: The digital
program displayed on the screen is originally an analog
program which has been converted to digital. The visual
quality is of an SD grade.
The HD caption that appears when switching channels
or when pressing the Information button on the remote
control means the selected channel is a digital channel. If
the broadcasting station converts an analog signal into
digital and transmits the signal, the visual quality may not
be perfect. (Applied to Set Top Box built-in model only.)
