CONNECTING STB WITH DVI OUTPUT TO HDMI INPUT CONNECTING DIGITAL AUDIO OUT TO A MULTI-CHANNEL RECEIVER
Dolby Digital Audio provides 5.1 channels of surround sound (five full-range channels [5] and one low-frequency effect channel [.1]). A fiber optics cable is used to carry the 5.1 surround sound (for low-noise signal transfer).
Switch off DTV and external equipment before connecting cable. (Cable is not supplied.) Connect the STB DVI Output to a DVI to HDMI Cable; then connect the cable to the DTVs HDMI input. NOTE: Check with your local electronics store for a DVI to HDMI Cable that matches your equipment and the DTV.
Using a Fiber Optics cable, connect the DTVs Digital Audio Output to the Digital Audio Input of a MultiChannel Receiver. (Fiber optics cable is not supplied.) Press POWER to turn on the DTV, then turn on external equipment.
When making the connection, do not pinch or kink the fiber optics cable. Red light visible at the Digital Audio Output does not necessarily indicate that Dolby Digital 5.1 audio is available. Digital audio is made up of light pulses that the human eye cannot detect. Dolby Digital 5.1 audio is available at the Digital Audio Output only when received as part of a Digital signal.

DIGITAL CABLE SEARCH (OPTIONAL)
This DTV can receive unscrambled (ClearQAM) digital cable channels, when available. However, not all cable companies provide ClearQAM digital channels. Searching for digital cable channels will take about 10 minutes, please be patient.

DIGITAL ADD-ON SEARCH

Use this feature to add new channels to the digital antenna channel database. Also, use this feature to add channels when broadcast towers are in multiple directions from your location.

Connect a Digital Cable signal directly to the DTV Digital Antenna In Terminal.

NOTES: Turn your Antenna and repeat these steps for each direction in which there are transmitting towers. Go to www.antennaweb.org and type in your zip code to obtain specific tower and antenna information.
NOTE: After Channel Search is complete, the DTV will tune to the lowest Digital Cable channel (or lowest Analog channel if no Digital Cable channel is found). IMPORTANT FACT: This DTV maintains only one database of digital channels. Therefore, when you search for ClearQAM digital cable channels, the database of antenna digital channels will be deleted. You will only be able to receive those ClearQAM channels your cable company provides. Cable companies rearrange virtual channels as programming Program change changes, which may cause the from cable company program you are watching to move to another channel. This message will appear on the screen briefly to notify you of a change. You will have to relocate the program you were watching by scanning through the channels. To restore the antenna digital channel database, reconnect the antenna and use the menu system to perform an All Channel Search.
NOTE: If the DTV is switched off by pressing the POWER key or unplugging the AC during Digital Add-On Search, all channel information detected before the power loss occurred will be saved.

channel), ALL analog channels (cable or off-air) will be restored automatically, regardless of the previous Analog Channel Scan Memory list.

DIGITAL CAPTION

Closed-Captioning is hidden textual information transmitted along with the picture and sound. Turning Captioning ON causes the DTV to open these captions and superimpose them on the screen. Because different types of closed-captions can be transmitted with the picture and sound, separate captioning modes are provided. The captioning modes recognized by this model are: Analog EIA-608B and Digital EIA-708B. Local broadcasters decide which caption signals to transmit.

TO VIEW CAPTIONS

<captainvideo462002@xxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:1151686215.894718.116060@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I was contacted by Sanyo asking if I would make a service call 7 miles from here to replace an "AV board" in the above model flat screen set. The customer is to remove the set from the wall. Sanyo will provide the board. They tell me there are about 40 screws to remove the back of the set and the then its just a matter of unplugging connectors to replace this board. Apparently this is a common problem with these sets? According to them the job should take about one hour, ( I don't know about that), and that the going rate they usually pay technicians for this service is 135.00. Is anyone familiar with this job and does this seem fair? It just seems a bit light for a service call and an hours labor on a set like this, but I'm not sure. Thanks very much.
