Selecting Passport DCT Settings
Setting Output Formats and Aspect Ratio
Passport DCT is set up to output digital video in one of five formats: 1080i, 720p, 480p Wide,
480p Std or 480i. Refer to your device manual to ascertain which format to select.
The digital video coming in to the set-top box may vary between wide screen (16:9) and
standard screen (4:3). To display the program on your television in a fashion you desire, the
set-top box compensates for these differences. You can set the type of aspect ratio you desire
in two ways: when you set the output format or while you are viewing a program (from the
Output Format Options Ribbon). The first way (while setting the output format) is covered in
the following procedure. Refer to Output Format Options Ribbon on page 96 for information
on the other method.

Note: If you are going to set the aspect ratio during this procedure and are unsure of the
option you desire, it is recommended that you first refer to Output Format Option on
page 95 to help you decide.
