Audio Settings - TiVo Premiere Manual

Letterbox color
Choose which color the TiVo Premiere should use when it adds letterbox or side bars to the
picture: gray or black. Changing the color of the bars can be useful if you're trying to determine
whether bars on the screen are being added by the TiVo Premiere or by the broadcaster.
Video smoothing
If you see static on some basic cable and analog antenna (NTSC) channels, use this setting to
smooth the video, which will decrease the static and improve the picture on these channels.
However, it will cause images on all analog channels to lose some sharpness.
Using the Format button
Normally you'll specify video output formats using the Video Output Settings screen (see
"Video output formats" on page 42). But if your screen is black and you can't get to the TiVo
menus, you can press the Format button on the front of the TiVo Premiere to change the Video
Output format. Continue to press the Format button until you see the desired format displayed
on your television.

Audio settings

From TiVo Central, choose 'Messages & Settings,' then 'Settings,' then 'Audio' to customize
audio settings.
Alternate audio
Some shows are broadcast with more than one audio track, such as alternate language tracks.
When alternate audio tracks are available, you'll see a bright alternate audio icon in the channel
banner:
