Programming your HD picture settings

Choose 4:3 Pan Scan if you have a standard screen TV and you prefer that widescreen programming is cropped to fill your screen. Think of this last choice as watching a theater-style movie that has been reformatted to fit your standard screen TV.

Y Pb Pr OUTPUT

Next, use the down arrow to select Y Pb Pr OUTPUT. This setting indicates the picture resolution you prefer when watching High-Definition programming. The choices, listed in order of highest to lowest picture resolution, are 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i. Your selection will depend on which format(s) your HDTV supports. To maximize your high-definition viewing experience, refer to your television set owner's manual, and use the right arrow button to choose the setting that indicates the highest picture resolution that your television will support.

4:3 OVERRIDE

Finally, use the down button arrow to select 4:3 OVERRIDE. By selecting 480i or 480p you are telling the digital receiver to send Standard Definition programming to your TV in its original broadcast format. Select OFF and the cable box will default to the resolution selected in the Y Pb Pr OUTPUT setting above. To exit and save changes press the POWER or MENU button.

For more details on configuring your digital receiver output settings, including setting Closed Caption preferences, see the User Guide for your HD receiver which is available at http://charter.com/quickstart.
