Setting Up to Display in HD
Once the receiver has been activated with qualifying DISH programming, you will be able to
receive HD programs to watch. Use the following steps to select the desired HDTV format.
1
Consult your HDTV user's guide for the HD format resolution that the TV supports (1080i or 720p).
2
Press the MENU button, select System Setup (6), and then HDTV Setup (8) to open the receiver
HDTV Setup menu screen.
3
Select the HD format settings (Analog Type and TV Type) that matches the format that your TV
supports.
4
While accessing this menu, select the Aspect Ratio option that matches that of your TV screen:
• 16x9 is the setting for wide-screen HDTV displays.
• 4x3 #1 is the setting to use on a 4x3 TV which uses vertical compression. When fed with a
16x9 program, a TV compatible with this setting automatically makes the picture letterbox
format (black bars top and bottom), to preserve the correct horizontal and vertical proportions.
• 4x3 #2 is the setting to use on a 4x3 TV which does NOT have internal vertical compression.
When fed with a 16x9 program, a TV compatible with this setting will not show any black bars
at the top and bottom, but the picture will probably appear tall and skinny on the screen.
5
Then select Done.
6
If required, set up the HDTV to display in the format you desire. Some HDTVs will automatically
adjust to the resolution setting of the receiver, by default.
