2. IMPORTANT OVERVIEW

2-3. Display Formats

The DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver provides several display formats. The Format button in the front panel changes the display format in the cycle of 1080i, 720p, 480p, video1/2(480i), variable 1, variable 2, variable 3 and Auto DVI modes. In 1080i, 720p, 480p and video 1/2(480i) modes, all input signal formats are converted to the chosen display format. In variable 1, variable 2 and variable 3 modes, output display format is automatically adapted depending on input signal format. In Auto DVI mode, the output display format is automatically adapted depending on the type of monitor that is connected.
