Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken persecond, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of theoriginal sound.Signal QualityThis is the guide for checking the aerial direction. The numberedvalues displayed do not indicate the strength of the signal, but thequality of the signal (the signal to noise ratio, or “S/N”). The channelsyou can receive are affected by weather conditions, seasons, time(day/night), region, length of the cable that is connected to the aerial,etc.ThumbnailThis refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to displaymultiple pictures in the form of a matrix.1080iIn one high-definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines passevery 1/50th of a second to create an interlace image. Because 1080i(1125i) more than doubles current television broadcasts of 480i(525i), the detail is much clearer and creates a more realistic and richimage.1080pIn one high-definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at thesame time every 1/50th of a second to create a progressive image.Since progressive video does not alternate scan lines like interface,there is a minimal amount of screen flicker.720pIn one high-definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the sametime every 1/50th of a second to create a progressive image. Sinceprogressive video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there isa minimal amount of screen flicker.PlacementSet the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight,high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. Theseconditions can damage the cabinet and other components, therebyshortening the unit’s service life.Do not place heavy items on the unit.VoltageDo not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unitand cause a fire.Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully whensetting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.AC mains lead protectionEnsure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged.Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock.Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mainslead can cause electric shock.Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.Foreign matterDo not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electricshock or malfunction.Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock ormalfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from theAC mains supply and contact your dealer.Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit.
