3.1.2 High definition television
You cannot fully enjoy wide-screen programmes with your
normal-screen television as the above figures show. The left
figure shows a normal picture displayed in the normal screen.
To watch wide-screen programmes in the shape like the centre
figure, set the 16:9 Display Format option to Letter Box. Wide-
screen pictures then will be reduced to fit to the width of the
normal screen. Otherwise, to watch them in the shape like the
right figure, set it to Center extract. Wide-screen pictures then
will be cut out on the left and right sides equally to fit to the
width of the normal screen.
The digital receiver supports various video resolutions from
576 to 1080. In general a resolution of 720 or more is considered
high definition. The higher the resolution is, the better quality
you can enjoy. However, if your television set does not sup-
port high definition, you cannot enjoy high definition quality
picture.
The Video Format setting controls the video format for the
HDMI, component and RGB output connectors. It is recom-
mended that you set it to the highest resolution your television
can display. If you know your television's native screen res-
olution, you may achieve a better picture by setting it to that
resolution, for example, 720 for a 1280
tal receiver will then convert all video output to the selected
setting. The Auto setting tells the digital receiver to output all
video as it is without any resolution conversion. While watch-
ing television you can change the resolution with the
button.
