Setting Up the Display
Use the following steps to select the desired TV format.
1
Consult your TV user's guide for the format resolution that the TV supports (for example, 480i).
2
Press MENU, select System Setup, Installation, and then HDTV Setup.
3
Select the Aspect Ratio option that matches your TV:
• 16x9 is the setting for a widescreen TV display.
• 4x3 #1 is the setting to use on a 4x3 TV that uses vertical compression. A compatible TV
automatically makes the 16x9 picture letterbox format (adding black bars to the top and
bottom), to preserve the correct horizontal and vertical proportions.
• 4x3 #2 is the setting to use on a 4x3 TV that does NOT have internal vertical compression.
The TV will not show black bars at the top and bottom, and the picture may appear tall and
skinny.
4
Press Save.
5
If required, set up the TV to display in the format you desire. Some TVs will automatically adjust to
the resolution setting of the receiver.
Format of the Display
You can change the format of the video display output (called the aspect ratio). To choose between
the 16 x 9 widescreen format and the two 4 x 3 screen formats, as well as the output resolution:
1
Press MENU 6-1-9 and select the configuration you want.
2
Select Save.
The available display modes for the digital and the standard video outputs on their displays may be
selected independently. This feature allows you to control the viewing format of programs in
Normal, Grey Bar, Stretch, Partial Zoom, or Full Zoom. To change the format, while watching TV:
• Press the PAGE UP button on the remote to change through the available options on the
receiver's DISH DVI output.
