HDMI HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only industry-supported,
uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface.
HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box,
DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital
television (DTV), over a single cable.
Virtual channels For terrestrial reception of digital signals, virtual channels are used. A virtual channel
allows users to use channel digits, regardless of their area, allocated to each
broadcasting station.
To receive digital signals, you have to automatically tune channels or in case of off-air,
you have to directly select UHF channel digits aired by individual stations or in case of
cable broadcasting, you have to directly select channel digits allocated by local cable
stations. For example, the UHF 14 (MBC), 15 (KBS1), 16 (SBS), 17 (KBS2), and 18 (EBS)
transmitted from Kwanak Mountain are indicated with virtual channels, 11-1 (MBC), 9-
1 (KBS1), 6- 1 (SBS), 7-1 (KBS2), and 10-1 (EBS), which will be used by you. These
virtual channels are all used in the same way nationwide but the channel digits may be
different depending on local stations. Since the digital channels may be allocated
differently according to areas or changed by the broadcasting policy, contact your local
broadcasting stations and cable companies for more details.
Once virtual channels have been memorized, you can watch virtual channels by
pressing channel numbers.
