Chapter 1: Technical overview

The table below details the results you get with each combination of input signal format and TV display format.

If the program signal is in any of these formats:

1080i, 720p, 480p or 480i

switch set to:	and DVI jacks will output:	S-Video jacks will output:
1080i	1080i	480i
720p	720p	480i
480p/i	480p	480i

For example, if you have a standard resolution TV, you would set the Resolution switch to 480p/i. Then programs received by the DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver at any resolution would be converted to a resolution of 480p or 480i for display on your television.

This information can also be helpful when deciding how to connect your TV and VCR to the DIRECTV HD Receiver. For example, if you have a High Definition TV capable of displaying 1080i, and a standard VCR, you would want to use the COMPONENT, RGB or DVI jacks (whichever your TV accepts) to connect the DIRECTV HD Receiver to your TV. You would then use the VIDEO OUT jack to connect your VCR. This will provide each device with the highest quality video signal it is capable of using.

Note: If you connect your TV to one of the composite video out jacks (VIDEO OUT, S-VIDEO OUT, or TV OUT), and you view a high-definition program with the DIRECTV HD Receiver’s RESOLUTION switch set to either 720p or 1080i, the picture will be slightly cropped at the top and bottom (the very top and bottom edges of the image will not appear on the TV screen). To avoid this problem, set the RESOLUTION switch to the 480p/i position if your TV is connected to one of the composite video outputs.

Also, since the RGB, COMPONENT and DVI jacks do not output the 480i video format, do not connect a standard definition TV capable of displaying only 480i video to the RGB, COMPONENT or DVI jacks.

If you use the DVI jack, for the best access to high-definition programming, connect the DVI/HDCP output to the corresponding DVI/HDCP input on your High-Definition Television (HDTV) or HDTV Monitor that supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) technology.
