7.0 Configure the LyngBox
All configuration settings for the LyngBox can be found in the Installation and Settings menu .
7.1 User Preferences
In this menu is it possible to change the appearance of the LyngBox for the current user and to create and manage user
accounts. See section 4.5 for more information on user account management.
7.2 Output Settings
The LyngBox supports several different output formats and connectors. All formats
and connectors cannot be active simultaneously, which is why the user has to
specify how the LyngBox is connected to the TV set.
One of the following display connectors can be selected: HDMI, Component, SCART
Selecting SCART also gives a signal on the composite video out.
Available display resolutions: 1080i, 720p, 576i, 576p
It is possible to activate several display resolutions. The LyngBox will select the
most appropriate resolution for each program based on the resolution of the
source material.
TV aspect ratio: 4:3 or 16:9
Widescreen scaling for 4:3: Letterbox (black borders on top/bottom) or Pan & Scan (zoom)
Widescreen scaling for 16:9: Black borders (on the sides) or zoom
Digital audio format: Dolby Digital or PCM
Audio Delay: 0-200 ms
Note: if you are not satisfied with scaling in standard definition you can try to activate only output in higher resolutions to let
the LyngBox do the scaling instead of the TV.
7.3 Regional Settings
In this menu the user can specify country, city and time zone adjustment for the LyngBox. The location of the LyngBox is
important for the LyngSat Maps service for calculating which satellites that can be received at the current location.
If no city is close enough it is possible to specify coordinates (latitude and longitude in decimal degrees). In this case, GMT is
used as time zone.
Time zone adjustment is relative to the official time zone for the selected country.
7.4 Language Settings
Languages can be specified for the user interface, subtitles, and audio.
Subtitles and audio can have both a primary and secondary language. The primary language is chosen when both are
available.
7.5 Access Control
The LyngBox can be configured to require a pin-code for access to the settings menus. Setting a system pin-code and locking
certain users give parental control functionality. Modifying favorite lists for locked users is possible in this menu. See section
4.3 for more information on how to edit favorite lists.
See section 4.5 for more information on how to manage users.

a. None: The LyngBox is not connected to a network
b. Automatic: The LyngBox tries to find a DHCP server to receive an automatic network configuration
