Getting Connected

If you’ve indicated that your TV supports All (1080i, 720p, and 480i/p), then your cycle would also include 720p (and Native if you turned the Native feature ON). The FORMAT button allows you or other guests using your system to easily cycle all resolution and format settings with a single key until the picture displays the way they like it. Navigating menus to modify settings is not necessary.

If pressing this button causes a loss of video and audio, continue to press it until the picture returns. This can happen if you’re settings include a resolution that your TV doesn’t support. To correct this, you’ll need to change your resolution setting. Press MENU, select Settings, then Setup, then HDTV in the left side menu. Press SELECT on the Resolution tab and change the TV Resolution option to display only the resolutions supported by your television.

RESOLUTION button on the front panel of the receiver

This button is used to cycle all available resolutions on your DIRECTV HD Receiver. It does not cycle format settings. If video and audio are not appearing, it may be because the current resolution setting is not supported by your television. By pressing this button, you can check all available resolutions to see if that solves the problem. The LEDs on the left portion of the front panel will light below the current resolution that the receiver is set to and will change with each button press. When pressed this button cycles to native, all LEDs will light brieﬂy then a single LED will light to indicate the resolution of the currently tuned program. The LED will change to match programs as they are broadcast.

Note

If you connect your TV to one of the composite video out jacks (VIDEO OUT, S-VIDEO OUT), and you view an HD program with the DIRECTV HD Receiver’s RESOLUTION key set to either 720p or 1080i, the picture will be slightly cropped at the top and bottom. To avoid this, set the RESOLUTION key to the 480p/i position.
