MAKING USER SETTINGS (cont.)
If you have not already done so, put the set-top into User Settings mode, as described on page 25.
1. Press the
U
or
D
button until the front panel shows “reS” (short for resolution). On the PACE USER
SETTINGS menu, TV Display Capability is highlighted when “reS” is on the front panel.
2. Press the
R
button when you see “reS” on the front panel.
The front panel shows the TV display capability that was last selected, so it could show 480i, 480P, 720P,
1080i, 1080p24*, or 1080p30* (the last three settings are displayed as 1080). The TV Display Capability
menu, shown right, appears on the TV screen.
* NOTE
If the HDTV is 1080p-compliant and connected by HDMI, setting “1080p24 Pass” to YES causes 1080p/24
transmissions (at 24 frames per second) to be displayed at 1080p/24. Likewise, setting “1080p30 Pass” to
YES causes 1080p/30 transmissions (at 30 frames per second) to be displayed at 1080p/30.
The HDMI-connected HDTV may report that it is not 1080p-compliant and set “1080p24 Pass” (or “1080p30
Pass”) to NO. In this case 1080p transmissions will be output at one of the other resolutions (1080i, 720p,
480p, or 480i). If you override this NO setting and set YES, you may see nothing for 1080p transmissions.
If the HDTV is not connected by HDMI, “HDMI Cable Required” is displayed and you cannot set “1080p24
Pass” or “1080p30 Pass” to either YES or NO.
Transmissions at 480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i can never be output at 1080p.

The flow diagram (below) shows how you use the
arrow
