After connecting your satellite receiver, taking a moment to optimize your video settings will
ensure the best viewing experience. Press OPTIONS on your remote control, then enter the
numbers 4, 5. The following
Video Settings
• OUTPUT FORMAT: This determines the primary resolution that is used to send video to your
TV. On most HDTVs, 1080i is optimal. For SDTVs, use 480i.
•
4X3 OVERRIDE: Turning this on will "override" the primary output format when tuned to
standard definition stations. Turning on the override allows most TVs to automatically
stretch SD content to fill the whole screen. If you'd prefer to control this yourself using
the ASPECT button, leave it Off.
•
TV TYPE: This option specifies what type of TV you have. Widescreen TVs are 16x9 (such
as most HDTVs); traditional square TVs (such as most SDTVs) are 4x3. Select whichever
is applicable to you.
On a regular HDTV, recommended settings are 1080i, 480i, and 16x9 and will normally result in
standard definition channels automatically "stretched" by your TV to fit the screen.
On an SDTV connected via HDMI or component video, recommended settings are 480i, Off, and
4x3 Letterbox. For SDTVs connected via composite video or coaxial, changing these settings will
have no effect and is not necessary.
Select "SAVE" and press ENTER after changing the settings and EXIT to return to live TV.
If you select an output format that is not supported by your TV, video may be
lost. If this occurs, press EXIT, OPTIONS, 4, 5, and then 6 repeatedly until
video returns. The selected output format will be displayed on the Front Panel
of the receiver (if applicable) with each change.
You can use the ASPECT or B button while watching any program or recording
to stretch or zoom the picture. You can return the aspect to normal when the
program has finished. The current aspect mode is shown on screen each time
you press the button.
