Prepare the Explorer HD DVR to Work With Your TV
The Setup Wizard is a program that helps you set up your DVR to provide the best picture quality that your TV supports. Based on the type of TV you have, the Wizard allows you to select all picture formats supported by your SDTV or HDTV.
Note: If you are connecting an SD DVR to an SDTV, no setup is required. Skip this section and go to “Make the Most of Your Entertainment Options” on page 12.
For more information about how programs are formatted and displayed on an HDTV, refer to the Explorer HDTV Setup Wizard User’s Guide, part number 4003114.
Important: Any time that you change connections to use the component (PrPbY) ports, you must run the Setup Wizard again to make sure your TV is receiving its supported picture formats.
