Q. What best describes Standard Definition Television?
A. You get DVD quality picture and CD quality sound on every network, all the time.
Q. The clock on my digital receiver is wrong. Why?
A. Make sure that your receiver is set to the correct time zone. (Refer to manual about
selecting state you live in) Unlike other electronic appliances in your house, the clock is
set by the broadcaster and not TEAC's box. Therefore if the clock is still wrong, change
to another television network to see the correct time.
Q. On my digital receiver I have some channels numbered 350, 351, 352, etc. Why?
A. The STB supports logical-channel-numbering. In some areas the broadcaster may not
be sending their channel number. The Australian requirement for STB design says that
any services without a channel allocation are to be given a number from 350 to 399.
The TEAC box will do this automatically for you.
Q. My digital receiver has new channels on it and I did not re-tune anything. Why?
A. The product supports network-updating. Therefore, if a broadcaster begins sending new
services (multichannel or multiview), the box will automatically add them in for you.
There is no need for you to re-tune anything.
Q. Can I still use it to see Closed Captions?
A. YES. The receiver has its own teletext decoder which enables you to nevigate teletext
pages regardless of your television. To activate Closed Captions, press SUB.T key.
