Introduction
Introduction
To ensure proper use of this product, please read this owner’s manual carefully and retain for future reference.
This manual provides information on the operation and maintenance of your PHD-200 Digital HDTV Tuner.
This chapter explains the Technical overview, unpacking, front panel, Rear panel, and Remote control.
Technical overview
This paragraph explains the technical capabilities of
the PHD-200 Digital HDTV Tuner, and provides
background information on digital television. Topics
covered here include:
What are Analog TV, Digital TV, NTSC, ATSC,
SDTV, and HDTV?
What kinds of TV programming can I watch with
the Digital HDTV Tuner?
What equipment is required to view HDTV
programming?
Video output options
Aspect ratio
Screen formats
What are Analog TV, Digital TV, NTSC, ATSC,
SDTV, and HDTV?
Analog TV
Analog TV is the TV you’re probably most familiar
with. Most of the TV broadcasts you receive via a
standard off-air antenna or from your local cable
company are analog TV broadcasts.
Digital TV
Digital television (sometimes called DTV) is a newer
method of broadcasting TV signals that delivers
higher quality audio and video. Digital TV is
broadcast in two sets of formats, SDTV and HDTV.
NTSC
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee)
refers to the group that first established the standards
used for conventional analog television broadcasts
and TV equipment.
ATSC
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) is
the group who has been working to establish the
standards for digital television broadcasts and digital
television equipment – including both SDTV and
HDTV.
SDTV
SDTV (Standard-Definition TV) is a digital TV format
that provides a high quality picture at resolutions that
can be displayed on standard TV sets (see more on
resolutions later in this chapter).
HDTV
HDTV (High-Definition TV) is a digital TV format that
provides the highest quality picture at resolutions that
can be displayed on HDTV-ready TV displays, HDTV
Monitors and, computer monitors.
What kinds of TV programming can I watch with
the Digital HDTV Tuner?
The PHD-200 Digital HDTV Tuner provides you with
the ability to receive television programs from a wide
range of sources, and to display them on general
HDTV or monitor.
Using the Air/Cable jack on the back of the Digital
HDTV Tuner, you can receive local analog and digital
television programs.
)
To view cable TV programming, programming
subscriptions are also required.
What equipment is required to view HDTV
programming?
To view HDTV programming, an addition to your
PHD-200 Digital HDTV Tuner, you will need an HDTV
monitor or television set.
To receive analog and digital off-air television
broadcasts, you’ll need an off-air antenna.
To receive cable TV programming, you’ll need a
cable TV connection (provided by your local cable TV
service provider).

Introduction
Resolution an interlacing
Two of the elements determining the quality of a TV
picture are resolution and interlacing.
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 draw each frame of
video, the more detailed and sharp the picture will
be. Standard TV resolution uses 480 horizontal
lines to make up each of video.
HDTV uses either 720lines, or 1080 lines to make
each video frame.
Interlacing
When TVs display video, they display a new video
frame at a rate that is faster than your eye can see
(from 24 to 60 frames per second, depending on
the TV and broadcast). Interlacing refers to whether
each of those frames contains all of the lines of
video for each frame or every other line. Interlaced
signals take every other line frame 2 frames of
video (each lasting 1/60th of a second), and
combine them into one frame lasting 1/30th of a
second. In this way, interlacing tricks your eye into
thinking it is seeing twice the resolution that is
actually being displayed.
In non-interlaced video, (referred to as progressive
scan video), video frames are displayed every
1/60th of a second containing all of the lines of video
information for each frame.
The specifications for video resolutions are usually
stated by giving the number of horizontal lines,
followed by either the letter i, for interlaced video, or p
for progressive scan video. Some DVDs and
non-HDTV digital TV broadcasts use 480p.
The ATSC specification for HDTV broadcasts and
equipment requires either 1080i or 720p while there
is some debate as to whether it is better to have more
lines that are interlaced that 1080i is highest quality
video format.
Video output
The PHD-200 Digital HDTV Tuner is able to receive
broadcasts in any of the resolutions mentioned
above. It can also display programs on TVs capable
of displaying any of those resolutions.
To set up your PHD-200 to handle the combinations
of incoming video formats and TV display capabilities,
you simply set the Resolution Switch on the rear
panel to match the highest resolution your TV is
capable of displaying. (If you’re not sure about your
TV’s resolution, see your TV’s manual for this
specification.)
PHD-200 will then do the appropriate conversion
from input signal format to display format.
Video output formats:
Output Connection Available Formats
YPbPr 1080i/720p/480p/480i
DTV(RGB) 1080i/720p/480p
DVI 1080i/720p/480p/480i
Aspect ratio
In addition to resolution and interlacing, HDTV is also
defined by the aspect ratio of its broadcasts.
Aspect ratio means the shape of the screen as
defined by the ratio of the screen’s width to its height.
For analog TV and SDTV, the aspect ratio is 4 units
wide by 3 units high (usually written 4:3).
This is familiar shape of conventional TVs----slightly
wider than they are tall.
For HDTV broadcasts, the aspect ratio is 16:9 (nearly
twice as wide as it is tall).
This is, not coincidentally, more like the shape of
movies shown in theaters.
This makes HDTV an ideal format for broadcasting
and viewing movies on a TV.
But what happens if you are watching a nearly
square-shaped 4:3 broadcast on a rectangular 16:9
TV. The PHD-200 Digital HDTV Tuner allows you to
choose from a variety of screen formats to help you
dealing with those scenarios.

6
Introduction
Screen formats
To deal with the mismatches that can occur between
the shapes of TVs and the aspect ratios of program
broadcasts, the Digital HDTV Tuner provides you with
a set of screen format controls.
These controls allows you to pick a format to use for
both 4:3 TVs showing 16:9 programs, and for 16:9
TVs showing 4:3 programs.
Here is an explanation of the options. (Details for
setting this preference are included in page 17).

Audio Preference
In analog channel
The Digital HDTV Tuner has feature that allows
reception of sound other than the audio for the
program. This feature is called Multi-channel
Television Sound (MTS). The TV with MTS can
receive mono sound, stereo sound and Secondary
Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV
station to broadcast other information, which could be
audio in another language or something completely
different like weather information.
Stereo/Mono
You can select between ’Stereo’ and ’Mono’ when
the Stereo broadcasting is received.
-Stereo: Two speakers are used for 2 tracks
-Mono: Two speakers out both channel has the
same signal (the identical sound)
SAP (Separate Audio Program)
You can select the SAP mode which is ‘Main
sound’ or ‘’Main + Sub sound’ when the SAP
broadcasting, which is usually a foreign translation,
is received.
-Main sound: Listen to main sound or language.
-Sub sound: Listen to secondary sound or
language instead of the main.
In digital channel
The digital-TV transmission system is capable of
simultaneous transmission of many audio tracks (for
example, simultaneous translations of the program
into foreign languages). The availability of these
additional “multi-tracks” depends upon the program.
