6. HINT PAGES 7. GLOSSARY AC3: Dolby Digital is the common version containing up to six discrete channels of sound, sometimes known as 5.1 Surround Sound. An AV receiver is needed to play this sound AR: Aspect Ratio of the TV display. This is affected by by settings on the PVR AND the TV. (See Section 4 on Page 37, and Section 8 on Page 40 and Section 9 on Page 41) LCN: Logical Channel Number. The LCN is the digital channel number that is used to select a channel on the PVR. LCNs are constant.
6. HINT PAGES 8. LETTERBOX All older television screens had a width-to-height ratio, or aspect ratio, of 4:3. TV programs were shot and broadcast in the 4:3 aspect ratio. In HDTV and most TV shows are now displayed in a 16:9, or wide-screen, aspect ratio. Most new televisions also employ the wide-screen form factor. Old TV shows look fine on a 4:3 screen, and high-definition and DVD movies perfectly match a 16:9 screen. The image may appear distorted or sandwiched between black bars, called letterboxes.
6. HINT PAGES 3. The third option is to set the aspect-ratio of the TV to Panorama or TheatreWide. The black bars will be gone, and the image will stretch to fill the screen. It will look distorted at the extreme left and right but properly proportioned near the centre. Movies letterboxed for 4:3 TVs will show black bars on all sides when displayed on wide-screen TVs. This is another case where the Zoom function should be applied.
