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 →EZ DVI.
In 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480imodes, 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 EZ DVI mode, the output display format is automatically adapted based on the preferred res-
olution format of the DVI-HDTV monitor. The format may be converted from the original broad-
cast format.
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.
Note : The EZ DVI mode is only available when a DVI-HDTV compatible monitor is connected
to the receiver.
