DirecTV HR10-250 (HD-TiVo)
The Hd-TiVo does not allow the user to select one output setting that will always output the
right resolutions under the right conditions. For example, when tuned to an SD channel the
output resolution should be 480i, but when tuned to an Hd channel the resolution should be 720p
(FOX, ABC, ESPN) or 1080i (all other HD channels). There is no, to very limited, 480p content.
The Hd-TiVo can be set up to output only 480i, 720p and 080i when the user presses the
Up button on the TiVo remote control.

Optical Disc and Other Prerecorded Media Sources
DVD Player/Recorder
– Configure the DVD player to output 480i on the HDMI, DVI, or
Component connection. HdMi is the recommended connection if available. if the dVd
player can not be configured to output 480i over one of these connections, configure
it to output 480p and insure that you have turned prep ‘on’ for this input.
See Step 6
HD-DVD Player
– Configure the BD player to output 1080p-24 (if the player allows), if not use
080i-60 and the ‘forced 3:2’ mode.
See Step 6
Blu-Ray Player
– Configure the BD player to output 1080p-24 (if the player allows), if not use
080i-60 and the ‘forced 3:2’ mode.
See Step 6
Game Consoles
Xbox
– Configure the Xbox to output all resolutions (480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i).
Xbox360/360Elite
– Configure the Xbox360 to output 720p.
PS2
– Configure the PS2 to output 480i only and use Game Mode 1 or 2.
See Step 6
PS3
– Configure the PS3 to output all resolutions. Use Game Mode 1 or 2 for 1080i.
See Step 6
Wii
– Configure the Wii to output 480p
Other Digital Media Devices
Apple TV
– Configure the Apple TV to output 480p
HTPC
– Depending on the capabilities of the video card, configure the HTPC to output 720p
or 1080p. The higher the output resolution for the PC, the better text will look on screen.
STEP 6 – Deinterlacing Mode and PReP™
The iscan has a very high performance ‘auto’ deinterlacing mode which can handle most content.
There are specific modes which are optimal for Gaming and HD-DVD/Blu-Ray players that do require
initial setup. once these settings are made, they are saved into non-volatile memory. each input
has a separate memory for each of the accepted input resolutions. For example, the HDMI inputs
accept all of these resolutions:
480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 080i, 080p-24, 080p-60, VGa, sVGa, XGa, sXGa
A source like an HD-TiVo can output 4 resolutions over HDMI (480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i). Although
there are 2 memories on the HdMi inputs, only 4 would be used by the Hd-TiVo and they would
automatically recalled when any one these 4 input resolutions is detected on that HdMi input.
Game Mode 1 and Game Mode 2
use these modes to get high performance low latency deinterlacing. Game Mode has less than
motion-adaptive processing with less than 1 frame (17milliseconds) of delay and Game Mode 2 has
less than 2 frames of delay with additional edge-adaptive processing for a slightly smoother picture.
These modes are recommended for any connected game console that is outputting a 480i or 080i
signal.

PReP
Many DVD players and set top boxes do not output a 480i signal, using an HDMI/DVI or component
connection. anchor bay’s progressive reprocessing can reprocess this signal and still improve the
previously poorly deinterlaced signal. for these sources it is recommended that you set prep to
‘on’.
