Displaying a picture on your HDTV screen

If your set-top is connected to your HDTV’s component video or HDMI input and is turned on (the 

POWER

 

light is green), but your HDTV does not initially display a picture from your set-top, your HDTV may not 
support your set-top’s current output resolution (for further details on resolutions, see page 17). You therefore 
need to change your set-top’s output resolution as follows:

1.  First press the 

POWER

 button on your remote control (

POWER

 light goes red), then press the 

MENU

 

button.

2.  Next, press the 

ZOOM

 button on your remote control (the button could be labeled 

ASPECT

) until a 

picture appears.  
Each button-press changes your set-top’s output resolution, which also appears on the TV screen.  
After a few seconds, you should see the PACE USER SETTINGS menu.

3.  Press the 

POWER

 button to remove this menu and return to normal viewing.
