GENERAL SETTINGS: SET PICTURE FORMAT

Upconvert 1 and Upconvert 2 - When possible, the DVR

tries to improve the program display by taking an SD picture

and changing it to a simulated HD picture (upconverting).

Fixed - All programming is displayed using the picture format

you last selected. This setting remains fixed until you select a

new picture format from the Quick Settings menu.

Pass-Through or Auto DVI - The programming format is not

manipulated by the DVR. The DVR passes the signal through

to the TV. (See the box on the previous page for more

information about Pass-Through.)

If your HDTV uses a DVI or

HDMI port, Auto DVI/HDMI

appears here instead of

Pass-Through.

CHANGE THE DARKNESS OF BARS USED IN PICTURE DISPLAYS

The DVR automatically adds bars to certain types of program formats to reduce the

chance for screen burn-in. If you decide to use these settings to watch programs,

you can change the darkness of the bars from Light (default setting) to Medium or

Dark.

1. Press twice to access General Settings.

2. Press or to select the option Set: TV Borders.

3. Press

to display the Borders options (Light, Medium, or Dark).

4. Press or to select the shade you want to apply to the bars (Light,

Medium, or Dark).

5. Press

to accept the setting. The DVR displays the Set: TV Borders option

with your selection shown.

6. To exit from this screen and return to live TV, press

WARNING:

Avoid Screen Burn-In! Do

not display the same fixed

images on your HDTV screen

for extended periods of time.

Images such as letterbox

bars or side bars, bright

closed-captioning

backgrounds, station logos,

or any other stationary

images may cause the

picture screen in your HDTV

to age unevenly; this is

known as screen burn-in.

Refer to the user’s guide that

came with your HDTV for

more information.
