MAKING USER SETTINGS

About User Settings

Your installer should have made the correct settings so that your set-top is compatible with your HDTV or TV. 
However, you may wish to change some settings, for example if you purchase a new HDTV. You can make the 
following settings and you can also reset them to the factory defaults.

•  TV Aspect Ratio (the screen’s width-to-height ratio, or shape)
•  TV Display Capability (screen resolution)
•  Auto Pillarbox
•  Closed Captions
•  Front Panel Settings
•  HDMI Settings
•  Language Settings
You use the buttons on your remote control to make the settings and you can see them on the front-panel 
display. You can also look at on-screen menus, but note that, until your set-top has been set up to match the 
display capability of your TV (see page 11), these menus may not be visible.

Putting your set-top into User Settings mode

1.  Make sure that your set-top is turned on (the   (power) light is green).

2.  Press the 

POWER

 button on your remote control (the   (power) light goes off), then press the 

Menu

 

button.

 

“ASPt” (or another of the eight “words” shown right) should then appear on the front-panel display. If it 
does not appear, press the 

Menu

 button again. You should see the PACE USER SETTINGS menu on your 

TV screen.

3.  When you have finished making changes (see pages 15 through 21), press the 

POWER

 button to remove 

the PACE USER SETTINGS menu and return to regular viewing.

About the TV Aspect Ratio

The TV that you have connected to your set-top has an aspect ratio (width-to-height ratio) of 4:3 (basic/
standard) or 16:9 (widescreen). You must set the appropriate TV Aspect Ratio (4:3 or 16:9) on your set-top, so 
that it is compatible with your TV.

Setting the TV Aspect Ratio

If you have not done so already, put your set-top into User Settings mode, as described above. 

1.  Press the 

U

 or 

D

 button on your remote control until the front panel shows “ASPt”. 

2.   Press the 

R

 button.  

The current TV Aspect Ratio setting (“4:3” or “16:9”) appears on the front panel. Whenever the current 
setting is displayed, the MESSAGE light will be lighted. You may also see the menu, shown below, on  
your TV screen. In the menu, the current setting has 

>

 in front of it.

3.  Press the 

U

 or 

D

 button until the TV Aspect Ratio you want appears on the front panel and is highlighted 

in the menu. 

4.   Press the 

OK/Select

 button to confirm your choice and change to that TV Aspect Ratio.

5.  Press the 

L

 button.  

The front panel will display “ASPt” again and the PACE USER SETTINGS menu reappears.

To continue making the settings, see the next section.
