1Consult your HDTV user’s guide for the HD format resolution that the TV supports (1080i or 720p).

Note: If you choose to view a Video-on-Demand event in 1080p, the receiver performs a brief video test to determine your TV’s compatibility with that resolution.

2Press MENU, select System Setup, and then HDTV Setup.

3Select the HD format settings (Analog Type and TV Type) that matches the format your TV supports.

4While in this menu, select the Aspect Ratio option that matches your TV:

•16x9 is the setting for wide-screen HDTV display.

•4x3 #1 is the setting to use on a 4x3 TV which uses vertical compression. When viewing with a 16x9 program, a compatible TV automatically makes the picture letterbox format (with black bars top and bottom), to preserve the correct horizontal and vertical proportions.

•4x3 #2 is the setting to use on a 4x3 TV which does NOT have internal vertical compression. When viewing a 16x9 program, such a TV will not show black bars at the top and bottom, and the picture will appear tall and skinny.

5Select Done.

6If required, set up the HDTV to display in the format you desire. Some HDTVs will automatically adjust to the resolution setting of the receiver.
