Q&A

1. Is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV? Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and works well with many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channel assignments are different than analog channels. You should find out whether your local DTV broadcasts are on VHF (channels 2-13) or UHF (channels 14-69) to see if you need a different antenna. If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already get good UHF reception, your present antenna may work fine. The same holds true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some markets, both VHF and UHF channels are used for DTV broadcasts. You can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected Internet web sites such as www.titantv.com, www.10000watts.com, and www.fcc.gov. 2. How difficult is it to receive DTV signals indoors? This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and how close your location is to the transmission tower. DTV receivers do not require as much signal as analog TV receivers to produce high-quality images and sound. Once the DTV signal level exceeds a certain threshold at the receiver, the digital video and audio data is decoded at the same quality it was originally encoded for broadcast. This is a big advantage for DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting, static, or scratchy audio. 3. How can I connect an antenna in my townhouse, co-operative apartment, condominium, or apartment? The Federal Communications Commissions OTARD Rule (part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996) allows residents of condominiums, townhouse, or members of neighborhood associations to put up outside antennas for reception of broadcast TV signals as long as those antennas are not located in common areas and are no more than 12 in height. Residents of rental units (apartments, etc.) are not covered by the OTARD rules and will have to use indoor antennas to receive DTV broadcasts. It is possible that the landlord of an apartment complex can provide broadcast DTV signals via a master TV antenna system to each apartment. 4. Can I connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service? Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will still need to use an outdoor or indoor antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs. The good news is that you wont have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and HDTV programs. Theyre free, unlike subscription satellite TV or premium cable TV. All you need is an antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy clear, sharp widescreen images and high-quality audio.

Memorizing the Channels

Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both off-air (antenna) and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).
Selecting the Video Signal Source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or cable system).
Press the MENU button. Press the or button to select Channel, then press the ENTER button.

Customizing Your Remote Control
Your TV comes equipped with a universal remote control. In addition to controlling the TV, the universal remote control can also operate a VCR, Cable box and DVD (even if your VCR, Cable box and DVD are made by manufacturers other than AKAI).
The remote control might not be compatible with all DVD Players, VCRs and Cable boxes.
Setting Up Your Remote Control to Operate Your VCR (Cable box or DVD player)
Turn off your VCR (Cable box or DVD player). Press the MODE button to switch the remote control to the VCR (CABLE or DVD) mode. The remote control has four modes: TV, VCR, CABLE and DVD. On your AKAI remote control, press the Set button. Enter 3 digits of the VCR (Cable box or DVD player) code listed on next page for your brand of VCR (Cable box or DVD player). Make sure you enter 3 digits of the code, even if the first digit is a 0. (If more than one code listed, try the first one.) Press the POWER button on the remote control. Your VCR (Cable box or DVD player) should turn on. If your VCR (Cable box or DVD player) turns on, your remote control is now set correctly. If your VCR (Cable box or DVD player) does not turn on, repeat steps 2, 3, and 4, but try one of the other codes listed for the brand of your particular VCR (Cable box or DVD player). Once your remote control is set up, press the MODE button any time you want to use the remote to operate your VCR (Cable box or DVD player).
When your remote is in the TV mode, the VCR (or DVD player) control buttons (REW, STOP, PLAY/PAUSE and FF) will still operate your VCR (or DVD player). When your remote control is in the VCR, CABLE or DVD mode, the volume buttons still control your TVs volume.
