Options For Changing Video Output
In order to optimize the display of programs on your television, you may occasionally need to change the
resolution and/or screen format. Th ere are two keys that can be used to make changes: the FORMAT
key on the remote control and the RESOLUTION key on the front panel of the receiver.
FORMAT key on Your Remote
Pressing this key will cycle the resolutions that you’ve indicated in System Setup as being supported
by your TV. In addition, it will cycle through Stretch, Letter and Crop settings for each of your TV
resolution selections (i.e. 480i, 720p, etc). Available screen formats are based on the TV Aspect Ratio
you set in System Setup. With each press, an onscreen message will let you know what the current
resolution/format setting is. For example, if you selected only 720p as your resolution, the FORMAT
key will cycle through 720p Stretch, 720p Letter and 720p Crop, and back again. If you indicated that
your TV supports only 1080i, 480i and 480p and it is a 16:9 television, and Native is turned off *, the
cycle of settings for the FORMAT key are as follows:
1st press: 480i/Stretch 6th press: 480p/Crop
2nd press: 480i/Letter box 7th press: 1080i/Stretch
3rd press: 480i/Crop 8th press: 1080i/Letter box
4th press: 480p/Stretch 9th press: 1080i/Crop
5th press: 480p/Letter box 10th press: repeat cycle
* In Native mode, the receiver automatically adjusts resolution to match the resolution of individual
TV programs as they are tuned.
