DIRECTV subscription and satellite dish required to receive programming

DIRECTV Note: The H20 package includes the receiver only! It does not include an

LNB or dish, which must be purchased separately in order to have a complete

system. A DIRECTV subscription is required in order to receive programming.

DIRECTV Compatibility: This receiver is compatible with single and multi-sat

DIRECTV dishes. When used with the multi-sat oval dish, this receiver can receive all programming from DIRECTV's 101°, 110°, and 119° satellites simultaneously. It is also compatible with the new 5 LNB satellite dishes, which receives signals from the same satellites as the 3 LNB dishes, plus the 99° and 103° satellites for certain local stations transmitting in HD as they become available. The H20 receiver is also compatible with MPEG-4.

Format Compatibility: In addition to receiving all DIRECTV standard and highdefinition signals, the H20 receiver has a built-in ATSC tuner to receive and decode all over-the-air HDTV/SDTV formats.

B-Band Converter: The H20 receiver includes the SUP-2400 B-Band Converter,

which must be installed on the receiver. It has a threaded male F connector, and

should be connected to the Satellite In coaxial jack on the back of the receiver. The converter also has a female coaxial input to receive the signal from the satellite dish. This converter up-converts the satellite signal transmitted in the Ka-band (250-750 MHz) into a 1650-2150 MHz useable signal.

Display Formats: The H20 receiver features multiple format modes that can be

selected from the remote control and front panel to best reproduce the original

broadcast on a wide variety of televisions. It decodes 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i broadcast formats and can output video to your TV in any of these. During the setup process you specify which of these resolutions your TV will accept. If your TV will display all resolutions, the Native display option is available, which shows the program in its native broadcast resolution.

HDMI Equipped: The H20 is equipped with an HDMI output which carries both

digital audio and video signals to HDMI compatible TVs. The HDMI jack uses HDCP

content protection to allow you to view HD programming encoded using the HDCP

protection system. You can connect the H20 via a DVI connection when an HDMIDVI

converter is used. You will also need to connect an audio cable because DVI

carries only video signals.

Dolby Digital: This unit is capable of receiving Dolby Digital signals and passing those signals through the optical digital and HDMI outputs to a Dolby Digital A/V receiver.

4:3 TV: When you view a 16:9 aspect ratio picture using a 4:3 aspect ratio TV you can choose:

Letter Box: Displays the entire 16:9 picture and fills the void with black bars appearing at the top and bottom of the screen

Stretch: The picture is stretched vertically to fill the screen

Stretch: Stretches the picture horizontally to fill the entire screen

Crop: Zooms in on the picture to fill the screen horizontally and the top and bottom edges are cropped

Digital Audio Output: The optical digital output is located on the rear panel, and allows you to send a Dolby Digital bitstream to a Dolby Digital receiver or decoder.

Advanced Program Guide: The DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide is an onscreen

listing of current and future programs for up to 7 days that are available from

DIRECTV and your local digital stations. The DIRECTV High-Definition receiver

offers you a comprehensive program list that contains information about programs

with hundreds of channels.

Channel Banner: The Channel Banner appears whenever you tune to a new

channel or press the Info button on the remote while viewing a program. The banner lists all sorts of useful information, including: current date and time, current channel info (logo, number, call letters), program information (title, start and stop times, rating), audio options, messages, and parental control status.

Favorite Channels: This feature allows you to create a list of favorite channels that you store in memory. When using the Favorite Channels list, only those channels are displayed in the guide and tuned while channel surfing.

Autotune: The autotune feature allows you to choose a program in the guide and

have the tuner automatically tune to that channel at the appropriate time.

Category Sort: The on-screen guide can be set to list only programs in a particular category, such as movies, sports, news, etc.

Find By: The Find By menu helps you locate a program by title, actor, channel, team (sports), or any other key word.

Pay Per View Programs: If your tuner is connected to a phone line, pay per view

programming can be ordered using your remote and will appear on your next bill.

The autotune feature can be used to automatically change to the proper channel.

Once ordered, a pay per view program can be cancelled as long as no part of it has been viewed. An overview of your purchases can be seen as well.

Caller ID & Messages: If you have Caller ID service on your phone line, you can use your DIRECTV receiver to view phone calls you have received. The call log displays up to 25 recent incoming calls. When the Notification feature is activated, a notice appears on the TV screen whenever a call comes in. In addition, you can view messages that are sent from DIRECTV about new services or special program offerings.

Auto Program (Channel Search): This feature automatically finds all the digital

channels available through the antenna input and stores all the active channels in the channel list.

Parental Controls: These controls let you restrict what the children watch. Restricted programming is locked using a four digit code and the following settings are offered

�� Block Channel: Blocks any channels you do not want to be viewed

�� Movie Rating: Blocks movies according to the movie ratings limit

�� TV Programs: Blocks TV programs based on the industry rating

�� Spending Limit: Sets the Pay Per View spending limit

Caller ID: If you subscribe to Caller ID through your local phone company, the

information is displayed onscreen when a call is received. A call log is also recorded and past calls can be viewed.

Remote Control:

IR/RF Remote Control: The supplied remote is pre-programmed to operate this unit

and three other components, including TVs, VCRs, DVD players, amplifiers, and

additional DIRECTV receivers. The remote can send signals to the receiver via

infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF), which allows you to control the receiver from another room. Arrow buttons allow you to move the on-screen selector, making menu navigation simple and efficient.
