SETTINGS
VIDEO
Set your preference for the following screen options: Native, Screen
Format and Bar Color.
NATIVE
You can turn Native mode ON or OFF. When Native Mode is ON, your TV auto-
changes to match the resolution of the program coming into the receiver. For
example, if Native mode is ON and a program is being broadcast in 480p, your
HD Receiver tells the TV to show it in that same format.
If the next program changes to 1080i, the receiver tells the TV to change to
that format. Native mode slows down the system's response time to channel
changes since the receiver and TV must adjust the picture resolution at every
channel change. Because of this, the default setting is OFF. When Native
Mode is OFF, your receiver will display the program at the highest resolution
set on the "TV Resolutions" screen.
SCREEN FORMAT
When a program is broadcast in a format that does not fit your TV screen, your receiver adjusts the picture size. Options include Original Format,
Pillar Box (Widescreen 16:9 HDTVs only), Letterbox (Standard 4:3 TVs only), Stretch and Crop. If you're watching a widescreen movie on a Standard
4:3 TV, you may want to choose "Letterbox" which places bars on the top and bottom of the screen. If your HDTV is 4:3 aspect ratio, you may want to
"Crop" or cut off the content at the left and right side of the screen while preserving the proportion of the picture that remains. You can also "Stretch"
the picture vertically or horizontally to fill up the screen.
BAR COLOR
Select the Bar Color option to set the color of the bars displayed when you view programming in Letterbox or Pillar Box modes.

TV RATIO
Set the aspect ratio that matches your TV. Options are Standard 4:3 or Widescreen 16:9.
TV RESOLUTIONS
Select the resolutions your TV can support so your receiver can pass the proper signal. To find
the resolutions your TV supports, check the user's guide that came with your TV. If you select a
resolution your TV doesn't support, the receiver will reset the resolution after a few seconds.
LANGUAGE
On HD receivers, select "Language" to turn closed captioning ON or OFF, and to select the
font style, size and color for the display of captions.
CLOCK
Select "Clock" to set your time zone and whether you want the receiver to show Daylight
Savings time or not.
