3 OPTIMIZING YOUR QIP RECEIVER FOR HIGH-DEFINITION TV

The HD settings are described in the table on the following pages.

If you are not using the HDMI video connection, the HDMI/YPbPr OUTPUT setting is displayed as YPbPr OUTPUT. The user settings will also be displayed on the front panel display whether your TV is off or on.

If the on-screen display menu does not appear on your HDTV screen, your TV may not support the default video output setting.

Setting	Description

TV Type	Allows you to specify the style of television connected to the QIP receiver. Options
	include 16:9, 4:3 LETTERBOX, and 4:3 PAN SCAN. By default, the 16:9 option is
	selected. The options are used as follows:
	• 16:9 designates that a widescreen television is connected to the QIP
	receiver.
	• 4:3 LETTERBOX designates that a standard-screen television is connected
	to the QIP receiver and that widescreen programs should be scaled to fit the
	screen with black bars above and below the picture.
	• 4:3 PAN SCAN designates that a standard screen television is connected to
	the QIP receiver and that widescreen programs should be cropped so that
	the picture fills the entire screen.

HDMI/YPbPr	Allows you to specify the video output format of the QIP receiver for all content
Output	(when the 4:3 override setting is Off) or for all 480p, 720p, and 1080i content (when
	the 4:3 override is used). Options include 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i. By default, the
	1080i option is selected. The options are used as follows:
	• 1080i — The QIP receiver will present programs in the High-Definition 1080i
	format (1920 x 1080 pixels).
	• 720p — The QIP receiver will present programs in the High-Definition 720p
	format (1280 x 720 pixels).
	• 480p — The QIP receiver will present programs in the Enhanced-Definition
	480p format (720 x 480 pixels).
	• 480i — The QIP receiver will present programs in the Standard-Definition
	480i format (720 x 480 pixels).
	Some televisions may only support certain video formats. Please consult your
	television’s user manual for more information on format compatibility.
	The QIP receiver can detect when the HDMI connection is in use. If you are not using
	the HDMI connection on the QIP receiver, the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting will
	display as YPbPr Output in the User Settings Menu.

4:3 Override	The 4:3 Override setting allows you to specify the video output format of the QIP
	receiver when it is tuned to a standard-definition program. Options include 480i,
	480p, Stretch, and Off. By default, the 480i option is selected. The options are used
	as follows:
	• 480i — The QIP receiver will present Standard-Definition programs in the
	Standard Definition 480i format (720 x 480 pixels).
	• 480p — The QIP receiver will present Standard-Definition programs in the
	Enhanced Definition 480p format (720 x 480 pixels).
	• Stretch — The QIP receiver will automatically stretch all Standard-Definition
	programs to a widescreen aspect ratio and present the video in the format
	designated by the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting. Note that the Stretch option
	is only available when the TV Type setting is 16:9.
