STEP THREE – OPTIMIZING YOUR HDTV PICTURE
The final step is tailoring your DCT5100 to the capabilities of your HDTV using the On Screen Menu. This allows the DCT5100
to automatically optimize both Standard and High-Definition video based on your HDTV and personal preferences.
To access the On Screen Menu, power ON your HDTV and power
OFF the DCT5100. Press the MENU button on either your remote
control or the DCT5100 front panel to call up the On Screen
Display. * You may use either the DCT5100 front panel or the
remote control to navigate the display:
•
The arrow on the left indicates the position of the cursor.
•
Press the and buttons to select the setting you
wish to change.
•
Press the button to select an option for that setting.
•
To exit the setting and move to another setting, use
the and buttons.
•
Press the POWER or MENU button to exit the menu
and save your settings.
TV TYPE
The first user setting is TV TYPE. Your selection tells the
DCT5100 what type of TV you have and how you prefer to
watch widescreen programming. Your choices are 16:9, 4:3
Letterbox, or 4:3 Pan Scan.
•
Choose 16:9 if you have a widescreen HDTV.
•
Choose 4:3 Letterbox if you have a standard TV and you prefer to watch widescreen programming in its original aspect ratio.
•
Choose 4:3 Pan Scan if you have a standard screen TV and you prefer that widescreen programming is cropped to fill your screen.
Think of this last choice as watching a theater-style movie that has been reformatted to fit your standard screen TV.
Y Pb Pr OUTPUT
Next, use the down arrow to select Y Pb Pr OUTPUT. This setting indicates the picture resolution you prefer when watching High-Definition
programming. The choices, listed in order of highest to lowest picture resolution, are 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i. Your selection will
depend on which format(s) your HDTV supports. To maximize your high-definition viewing experience, refer to your television set owner's
manual, and use the right arrow button to choose the setting that indicates the highest picture resolution that your television will support.
4:3 OVERRIDE
Finally, use the down button arrow to select 4:3 OVERRIDE. By selecting 480i or 480p you are telling the DCT5100 to send Standard
Definition programming to your TV in its original broadcast format. Select OFF and the DCT5100 will default to the resolution selected
in the Y Pb Pr OUTPUT setting above. To exit and save changes press the POWER or MENU button.
For more details on configuring your DCT5100 output settings, including setting Closed Caption preferences, see the Motorola DCT5100
User Guide or visit www.motorola.com/Broadband.
* If the On Screen Menu does not appear on your HDTV screen, your TV may not support the default, standard definition setting (480i).
Use the DCT5100 front panel LED to view and change your settings.
