ADJUST YOUR HDTV PICTURE

Picture Formats and Your HDTV Display

The following table shows the relationship between the picture format method, the signal the DVR receives, and the format

of the picture that displays on your TV screen.

Adjust Your Picture Format Using Quick Settings

Because the picture quality of a program is aected by many factors, such as how the program was originally recorded

and the method used to broadcast the program, you may nd that displaying certain programs in a specic picture

format provides the picture quality you prefer.

Note: If your HDTV uses a composite, DVI, or HDMI port, it automatically selects the best picture format for the program

you are watching. DVI ports, however, can choose only from the picture formats that your HDTV supports.

1. Press

to access Quick Settings.

2. Press

or to select Picture Format.

3. Press

to select the picture format setting.

4. Press

again to display another picture format setting. Each time you press , another setting displays.

Note: If you used the Setup Wizard to select picture format settings and your General Setting is not set to Pass-

Through, the picture format settings that you selected are available here. For example, if you used the Easy Setup

method in the Setup Wizard, only the settings 480i and 1080i are available for you to select.

5. Press

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 xed 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.

***PLEASE NOTE*** If using HDMI and there is no audio, you need to go to the settings

menu and go to Audio>Digital output to HDMI.
