TV Resolution
The TV Resolution menu option lets you set the output format of the DST-3000 receiver. By
default the TV Resolution is set to 1080i for a High Definition (HD) monitor or television. If you
have a Standard Definition (SD) monitor or television, you should choose 480i.
Note: The DST-3000 receiver will output HD video through the Component
Video (Y, P
S-VIDEO connectors, but it will not output both formats simultaneously.
Please refer to Chapter 2, "Setting Up Your HD Receiver," for instructions on
connecting your type of monitor or television.
Note: All video is converted to the selected output format (1080i or 480i)
regardless of the original format. For example, when the 1080i format is
selected, all 480i, 480p, and 720p programs are upconverted to 1080i.
Screen Ratio
The Screen Ratio menu option lets you specify the aspect ratio of your monitor or television so
that video programming can be properly displayed. Select 4:3 (standard) or 16:9 (widescreen).
Image Shape
If you are using a 4:3 (standard) television or monitor and receiving a 16:9 (widescreen) image,
which is wider than the screen, you can choose one of the following display methods:
Full
In Full mode, the 16:9 image is stretched vertically to fill the screen. No image content is
lost, but objects will appear taller than normal.
Cropped
In Cropped mode, the 16:9 image is enlarged to fill the screen vertically and centered
horizontally. Some image content is lost at the left and right sides of the image.
Letterbox
In Letterbox mode, the 16:9 image fills the screen horizontally and is centered vertically,
with gray bars above and below the image. No image content is lost, but the horizontal
and vertical resolution is reduced.
Note: If you are using a 4:3 television or monitor and receiving a 4:3 image,
the Image Shape setting will have no effect.
Note: The gray bars that occur in Letterbox mode can increase the chance of
CRT burn-in. Because of this, it is recommended that you use either the Full
or Cropped mode instead.
If you are using a 16:9 (widescreen) television or monitor and receiving a 4:3 (standard) image,
which is narrower than the screen, you can choose one of the following display methods:
Full
In Full mode, the 4:3 image is stretched horizontally to fill the screen. No image content
is lost, but objects will appear wider than normal.
Cropped
In Cropped mode, the 4:3 image is enlarged to fill the screen horizontally and centered
vertically. Some image content is lost at the top and bottom of the image.
