2-3. Display Formats

The DIRECTV® HD Receiver provides several display formats. Pressing the DISPLAY FORMAT button repeatedly on the front panel changes the display formats following order: 1080i → 720p → 480p → 480i → native → variable 1 → variable 2 → variable 3 → DVI. In 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i modes, all input signal formats are converted to the chosen dis- play format. In native, variable 1, variable 2, and variable 3 modes, the output display for- mat is automatically adapted depending on input signal format, as follows.

In DVI mode, the output display format is automatically adapted based on the preferred reso- lution format of the DVI-HDTV monitor. The format may be converted from the original broad- cast format.

Note : The DVI mode is only available when a DVI-HDTV compatible monitor is connected to the receiver.

Note : Only one of the YPbPr, RGB or DVI-HDTV jacks is available at any one time, depending on the TYPE switch setting and DVI-HDTV connection status.
