MAKING USER SETTINGS
About User Settings
You need to make the correct settings so that the set-top is compatible with the 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
• Hard Disk Sleep Mode (for energy saving)
• HDMI Settings
You use the buttons
on the front panel
of the set-top 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 the set-top has been set up to match the
display capability of the TV (see page 26), these menus may not be visible.
Putting the set-top into User Settings mode
1. Make sure that the set-top is turned on (the
POWER
light is green).
2. Press the
POWER
button on the set-top (the
POWER
light goes red), then press the
MENU
button.
“ASPt” (or another of the 8 “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 the TV
screen.
3. When you have finished making changes (see pages 26 through 32), press the
POWER
button to remove
the PACE USER SETTINGS menu and return to normal viewing.

standard) or 16:9 (widescreen). You must set the appropriate TV Aspect Ratio (4:3 or 16:9) on the set-top, so
that it is compatible with the TV.
