The Setup Wizard is a program that helps you set up your DVR to provide the best

picture quality that your TV supports. Based on the type of TV you have, the Wizard

allows you to select all picture formats supported by your SDTV or HDTV.

Note: If you are connecting an SD DVR to an SDTV, no setup is required. Skip

this section and go to “Set Parental Control” on page 7.

IMPORTANT! Any time that you change connections on your DVR, you must run the

Setup Wizard again to make sure your TV is receiving its supported picture formats.

This rule does not apply if you are using 1394 connectors.
