MAKING HDTV-DISPLAY SETTINGS (cont.)
About TV Display (resolution settings)
You must make the appropriate TV Display setting(s) on the set-top, so that it is compatible with the
TV.
In order to display the best picture every time, you should select
every
resolution that the TV is
capable of displaying. This should ensure that programs are displayed with the minimum distortion.
TV Display Capability settings
•
480i
is standard definition NTSC and is
transmitted in a 4:3 aspect ratio (see right);
•
480p
is enhanced digital TV and can be
transmitted in either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio;
•
720p
and
1080i
are HDTV and are transmitted in
a 16:9 aspect ratio (see right).
Further information
The setting(s) you make affect the output at the HDMI and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (YPbPr)
connectors. The output at the VIDEO OUT and S-VIDEO OUT jacks is always the standard
definition 480i.
If equipment is connected via an HDMI cable, it may also pass information back to the set-top, which
may affect what settings are available.
480i transmission:
The aspect ratio is 4:3
1080i transmission:
The aspect ratio is 16:9
NOTE
When an HDTV/monitor with a
HDMI is connected to the set-top,
the set-top requests information
about its display. The set-top then
processes the information and
reconfigures the TV Display
Capabilities to those that the
display supports.
The set-top also records the ID of
the HDTV/monitor. In this way, one
device only is supported at any
time.
Once the HDTV/monitor has
updated the TV Display Capabilities
you may change these settings if
you wish, and these will then be
stored along with the ID.
If you restore the settings, as
described on page 55, the TV
Display Capabilities are restored to
the factory settings. If you want to
restore the settings to those which
the HDTV/monitor’s display
supports, reconnect the set-top to
the HDTV/monitor.
