4.2.1 High definition television
The digital receiver supports various video resolutions from
576 to 1080. In general, a resolution of 720 or more is consid-
ered high definition. The higher the resolution is, the better
the quality is. However, if your television set does not sup-
port high definition, you cannot enjoy high definition quality
picture.
Set the
Video Format
option as you desire. If you set this op-
tion to
576P
, the digital receiver will present even high defini-
tion programmes in resolution of 576. On the contrary, if you
set it to
1080I
, the digital receiver will present even standard
definition programmes in resolution of 1080.
It is recommended to set it to
Auto
if you have a high definition
television. With that setting the digital receiver will present a
programme as it is without any resolution conversion. While
watching television you can change the resolution with the
V.Format
button. Whenever you press it, the video resolution
is changed in turn.
NOTE
You can enjoy only standard definition video with the fol-
lowing video outputs:
• Composite video output (
VIDEO
)
• SCART output (
TV
)
