Page 382: Deﬁning High-Deﬁnitition
Introduction Defining High-Definition What is HD, and how does it differ from regular TV? To learn more, here’s some helpful information about high-deﬁnition and your DIRECTV HD Receiver. Types of TV Broadcasts Analog TV is the type of TV broadcast you may be most familiar with. If you get your broadcasts via a standard off-air antenna, it’s the type you receive, and most broadcasts from local cable companies are analog as well.
Page 383 Defining High-Definition Equipment You’ll Need To view HD programming, you’ll need, in addition to your DIRECTV HD Receiver: 4 A high-deﬁnition TV set (or HDTV monitor) 4 A triple LNB 18” x 20” DIRECTV Multi-Satellite dish antenna To enjoy select HD programming available on off-air local channels, you will also need an off-air antenna (sold separately) connected to your DIRECTV HD Receiver.
Page 384 Introduction Resolution & Interlacing Two elements that determine the quality of a TV picture are: Resolution For TV equipment and broadcasts, resolution is deﬁned by the number of horizontal lines displayed to make up each frame of a video image. The more lines of resolution used to compose each frame, the more detailed and sharp the picture.
Page 385 Defining High-Definition Aspect Ratio In addition to resolution and interlacing, a television picture is also deﬁned by the aspect ratio of its broadcasts—referring to the shape of the screen as deﬁned by the ratio of the screen’s width to its height. For analog TV, the aspect ratio is 4 units wide by 3 units high (usually written 4:3).
Page 386 Introduction 4:3 TVs showing 16:9 programs For a standard 4:3 TV showing a wide screen program, the program is too wide to ﬁt on the screen. To alleviate this, choose: Letterbox With this format, the 16:9 image is shrunk until the entire width of the program ﬁts on your TV.

Page 388 Introduction 16:9 TVs showing 4:3 programs For a wide screen 16:9 TV showing a standard 4:3 TV program, the program is too tall to ﬁt the screen. Your choices here include: Pillar box The 4:3 aspect ratio is maintained, the image is no longer wide enough to ﬁll the screen, so gray or black bars are seen at the left and right edges.

DIRECTV HD Receiver (or Satellite Receiver) Your DIRECTV HD Receiver picks up the signal from your satellite dish antenna and POWER translates it into viewable TV programming (plus the remote control).
Page 397 Helpful Hardware Reference Digital Cables & Connections HDMI Jack and Cable HDMI stands for High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface. It offers a high-quality connection that combines the video and audio signal into a single cable. The HDMI jack uses HDCP content protection to allow you to view HD programming that has been encoded using the HDCP protection system.
Page 398 Getting Connected Digital Audio Outputs (Optical Jack and Cable) The Digital Audio Optical cable provides the best quality audio. The jack and cable use light to send digital audio data to A/V receivers equipped to receive and interpret it. The jack and cable (cable not included) must be aligned before plugging in, and may be covered by protective caps, which must be removed before making connections.
Page 399 Helpful Hardware Standard Cables and Connections Note that use of any of the connections listed below will not deliver an HDTV picture. If you use the following connections, you will see a standard-deﬁnition TV picture. S-Video Jack and Cable S-Video jacks and cables provide the best picture quality among standard connections. You will still need to connect the left and right audio cables to the TV because the S-Video cable only carries the picture signal, not sound.
Page 400 Getting Connected Other Connections Telephone Jack and Cord The telephone line cord is required to connect your DIRECTV HD Receiver to a land-based telephone line if you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV programming. The phone line connection is used to periodically call DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common type of phone jack).
