Using “WIDE” Button
• TV sets are available with screens of the standard (4:3)
format and widescreen (16:9) format. When you
rst
installed your receiver you speci
ed the format of the
connected TV (this can now be changed if necessary;
see Con
guration).
• Digital terrestrial television broadcasts are also made
in both standard and widescreen formats. In particular,
lms and dramas tend to be broadcast in widescreen
format to closer emulate the cinema experience, but
some programmes such as news bulletins are 4:3.
• To help get the most from both TV set and programme
when a widescreen
lm is watched on a standard TV,
or a standard broadcast is viewed on a widescreen
set, the receiver includes the
WIDE
key.
• So long as the receiver has been correctly set up for
the TV set connected, a widescreen programme will
always be displayed correctly on a widescreen set,
and a standard format programme will correctly
ll the
screen of a standard format TV.
• With a widescreen TV set displaying a standard
format programme the WIDE key switches between
displaying the picture with black bars down the sides,
and enlarging the picture so that it
lls the whole width
of the screen but the top and bottom are cropped off.
With a standard format TV displaying a widescreen
programme, the WIDE key switches between
displaying the picture with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen, and
lling the whole height of
the screen but cropping the sides off according to
instructions broadcast with the programme (called ‘pan
and scan’).The effect of the WIDE key on the picture
display is cancelled by pressing WIDE again.
Note:
Sometimes the TV will automatically try and
compensate for an incorrect screen format, in this
instance set the tv to the correct format whilst viewing
the programme.
Displaying Text
• Many digital terrestrial television channels broadcast
pages of information on the programmes, the weather,
news and other topics.
• This digital teletext can be displayed by your set-
top-box. Indeed, some channels broadcast teletext
information entirely.
• When such a channel is selected, it will usually display
the opening page of information automatically, after a
short break, .
• Some channels mostly have digital teletext pages
broadcast along with the television programme.
• Press
TEXT
button to activate digital teletext pages
(if available).
• You can move through the information channels by
using navigation (“ ”/“ ”/“ ”/“ ”),
OK
and coloured
buttons.
• Press
TEXT
button again to exit teletext mode.
