Format Icon on the Channel Banner to turn off auto-detection for an individual DVD (see page 29). This screen gives you the option of turning off the auto-detection feature for all DVDs and always using Video format.

Progressive Format - TV. By default, the Recorder automatically detects whether a program viewed in progressive format should be shown in Film or Video format. In very rare circumstances, auto detection may result in poor image quality for programs that should be displayed in Video format (relatively few programs should use Film format). In these cases, you can use the Progressive Format Icon on the Channel Banner to turn off auto-detection for an individual program (see page 29). This screen gives you the option of turning off the auto-detection feature for all programs and always using Video format.

RF Video Input. If you used an RF coaxial cable to connect your program source to your Recorder, you can choose to smooth the video on this screen, which will decrease any static you may see and improve the picture on some channels. However, it will cause images on all channels carried to your Recorder on an RF cable to lose some sharpness.

TV Aspect Ratio. You can select the image proportions for the type of TV you have: 16:9 (wide screen) or 4:3 (standard).

Wide Screen Format. If you set the TV Aspect Ratio to 4:3, use this setting to determine how you want to display wide screen content. Choose “Letterbox” to shrink the wide screen picture to fit on the TV screen with black bars at the top and bottom. Choose “Pan & Scan” to chop off the sides of the picture to fit on the screen without shrinking.
