Changing settings
Setting standard TV video resolution
If your TV is a standard definition (SD) TV, make sure 480i is the only box checked. All other video resolutions will be output at 480i. You
can still watch HD channels and they may look considerably better 3 than their SD counterparts.
Setting HDTV video resolution
The media center outputs video in its native format or adjusts the video to match your video resolution settings.
To get the most out of your HDTV, check the manual that came with it. The manual specifies which video resolutions the TV can display. Some TVs only display one video resolution while others can show many.
1.Go to the HDTV Setup card in the Settings category.
2.Check a resolution your TV supports.
3.Once the video switches to the new resolution, choose yes.
4.Continue selecting each video resolution your TV supports.
5.Choose close.
