MAKING HDTV-DISPLAY SETTINGS (cont.)
Auto Pillarbox
If the TV connected to the set-top is a 16:9 TV that does not automatically detect 4:3 transmissions
(and therefore does not add black bars to the sides of the picture), then 4:3 transmissions may display
“stretched” to fit the 16:9 screen. If this effect is not desired, you can set the set-top to add black
bars to the 4:3 picture, so that it is transmitted to the TV at a 16:9 aspect ratio. See the example
below.
Changing the Auto Pillarbox setting
If you have not done so already, put the set-top into “HDTV settings mode”, as described on
page 43. The front panel displays “ASPt”.
1. To change the Auto Pillarbox setting, press the
D
button until the front panel displays “PiLL”, as
shown right.
