The RESOLUTION SELECT switch

The RESOLUTION SELECT switch is behind a flip-down door on the right side of the front panel of the HD receiver. To open this door, push firmly on the top right part of the door to unlatch it. Then, gently pull the door out and down. The front panel door will flip down.

Set the RESOLUTION SELECT switch to the resolution setting that looks the best on your monitor or TV (see Chapter 1 for more information on resolutions).

Note: See your monitor or TV user’s guide for information regarding its native video resolution.

Close the flip-down door.
