MAKING USER SETTINGS (cont.)

Setting Auto Pillarbox

If your TV is a 16:9 TV that does not automatically detect 4:3 transmissions (and therefore does
not add black bars to the sides of the picture), then 4:3 transmissions may display "stretched" to fit
the 16:9 screen. If you do not want this effect, you can set your set-top to add black bars to the 4:3
picture, so that it is transmitted to your TV at a 16:9 aspect ratio. See the example below.
4:3 transmission
Changing the Auto Pillarbox setting
If you have not done so already, put your set-top into "user settings mode", as described on page 21.
1. Press the U or D button until the front panel shows "PiLL", as shown right.
2. Press the R button.
The current Auto Pillarbox setting ("YeS" = switched on, or "no" = switched off) is displayed on
the front panel. If you can see the on-screen menus, the menu shown right appears.
