83 38. Glossar y Automatic zoom When the automatic zoom function is active, pro- grammes broadcast in widescreen format (such as those in the 16:9 format) are expanded to fill as much of the screen as possible. If this function is inactive, the format of such pro- grammes is not adjusted automatically. AV programme position AV devices have one or more connection sockets, depending on the model. The designations of the- se sockets are marked on the device (e.g. AV1). On the AV device, you can select which socket you want to use. The selected socket is shown on the display of the AV device (e.g. A1 for socket AV1). Code The settings for the childlock function are protec- ted by a four-digit code: you can enter any des- ired code, but you should note it for future use. If you have forgotten your code, please consult your local dealer. Forced mono It may happen that your TV set switches to stereo mode although the programme you are watching is not broadcast with stereo sound. This is normal- ly due to the local reception conditions. If you set the selected programme position to forced mono all programmes received at this programme posi- tion are reproduced with mono sound. Noise reduction This function allows you to improve the picture quality of snowy pictures which result from poor reception conditions. Various levels of noise reduction can be selected and the settings can be made separately for each programme position.
84 Panorama The panorama function can be used to expand normal TV programmes broadcast in the 4:3 format to fill the full width of a 16:9 screen. This is done by expanding the picture width accordingly. Picture position, vertical With widescreen films, subtitles are sometimes transmitted in the black area at the bottom of the screen. You can move the picture upwards on the screen to ensure that these subtitles remain visible. Standard values The standard values are the settings (such as brightness, sound volume, colour, etc.) which are the same for all programme positions. Spatial sound This function can be used to create an artificial stereo effect for programmes with sound in mono. Stereo wide For stereo broadcasts, the distance between the speakers can be increased artificially in order to achieve a wider stereo effect. SRS-WOW 2) WOW is an audio system developed by SRS Labs, Inc. which provides a unique listening expe- rience. The sound becomes fuller and the bass is deeper and more voluminous. Activation of the WOW function allows you to hear a lot of spatial and environmental audio information which is lost in normal stereo mode. In normal TV mode, the WOW function can be preselected by pressing the yellow key and then switched on and off with the -+ key. Is a registered trade mark of SRS Labs, Inc. 38. Glossar y 2) Possible only on sets equipped with this function.
85 38. Glossar y The SRS WOW technology is used by Metz under a licence from SRS Labs, Inc. Tone settings The tone can be set to either Normal or Speech. In the setting Speech, the bass and treble components of the sound signal are set to make speech as easy to understand as possible. The setting Normal is recommended for music programmes. VCR The VCR function provides an optimal picture qua- lity when playing back recordings from tape devi- ces such as camcorders or video recorders. Volume correction The various stations broadcast their sound at diffe- rent volumes. The TV set can automatically com- pensate for these differences in the volume. This function remains active even if the standard sound settings are recalled.

89 41. Basic differences between analog terrestrial reception and DVB-T Information for our dealers and interested customers. In order to understand how the behaviour of DVB-T receivers differs from that of the analog terrestrial receivers used until now, two things are important: digital transmission and the simultaneous broad- casting network. Digital transmission A DVB transmitter does not transmit only a single programme, but a set of pro- grammes – normally six to eight. The information for each programme – the picture, the sound and teletext – is con- verted into a digital format, i.e. into numerical values which are grouped together in packets. The packets of the various programmes are then transmitted sequentially in a so-called transport stre- am. Further information which permits the receiver to detect and correct any errors which occur during transmission is added to this transport stream. Example: If the information 0 or 1 is to be transmit- ted, the 0 could be encoded as 000 and the 1 as 111. If one of the three digits numbers is falsified during transmission, i.e. the receiver receives, for example, 010 instead of 000, the receiver can decide that the presence of at least two zeros indicates that the intended informa- tion value was 0 and, correspondingly, that at least two ones indicates the infor- mation 1. If two of the numbers in a block are chan- ged, the receiver can detect that an error has occurred, but any attempt to correct this would have the wrong result. Example: If the information 0 is encoded as 000 and is received as 101, the receiver would assume that this should have been 111 and will then decode it, incorrectly, as 1. To sum up: several programmes are transmitted by a single transmitter in the form of digital packets. Additional information is trans- mitted to permit complete correction of a certain number of transmission errors. Simultaneous broadcasting network For DVB-T, the programmes are not trans- mitted on a modulated carrier frequency; instead, one channel with a width of 8 MHz contains 8,192 individual carrier frequencies. Some of the signals reaching the receiver come directly from the transmitter, others are signals which have been reflected from obstacles in the vicinity and some are even those transmitted by other trans- mitters. Normally, these signals reinforce each other. In extreme cases, however, if they are out of phase and have the same amplitude, the signals can cancel each other out:
90 41. Basic differences between analog terrestrial reception and DVB-T Addition Cancellation In most cases, only a few of the 8,192 carrier frequencies will be fully cancelled out and the information which is lost can be reconstructed by the error-correction function of the receiver. Reception beco- mes impossible only if very strong reflec- tions cause the loss of too many carrier frequencies. The phase relationship between two sig- nals depends on the path taken by these signals on their way to the receiver. If a rooftop antenna is used, almost all of the signals reach the receiver by the same path. If an indoor antenna is used, the signals reaching the receiver may have been reflected from - objects outside the building, - objects such as thermally insulated windows (coated with metal films), - reinforced-concrete parts of the building, - persons in the vicinity or - the furnishings of the room. The signals may also have come from a different transmitter. In such cases, the reception quality depends not only on the actual signal strength, but also on how many carrier frequencies are cancelled out. Such problems can often be corrected by adjusting the position and the alignment of the antenna. In general, moving the antenna a few centimetres to one side, or tilting or turning the antenna, can impro- ve reception far more than the use of an additional antenna amplifier. Simply moving the antenna a few centimetres to one side can often cause the signals to be added together instead of cancelling each other out.
