MAKING USER SETTINGS (cont.)
Further information about the TV Display Capability
The TV Display Capability settings relate to equipment that is connected to the HDMI and COMPONENT
VIDEO connectors because the settings control the output at those connectors. If equipment is connected via
an HDMI cable, that equipment may also pass information back to the set-top, which may affect what settings
are available.
Generally, the TV Display Capability settings do not affect equipment connected to the VIDEO OUT connector,
because the output at this connector is always standard definition 480i.
3. Press the
U
or
D
button to highlight each resolution in turn on the menu and, for each one, press the
SELECT
button if you wish to change the setting (the setting changes between “YES” and “NO” each time
you press
SELECT
).
If, at any stage in this process, the menu disappears from the screen, immediately press
the SELECT button to restore the menu.
4. When you are satisfied that all the TV resolutions are correct, press the
L
button. The front panel shows
“reS” again and the PACE USER SETTINGS menu reappears.
To continue making the settings, see the next section.

Setting Auto Pillarbox
If the TV is a 16:9 TV that does not automatically detect 4:3 transmissions (and therefore does not add black
bars to the sides of the picture), then 4:3 transmissions
may
display “stretched” to fit the 16:9 screen. If you
do not want this effect, you can set the set-top to add black bars to the 4:3 picture, so that it is transmitted to
the TV at a 16:9 aspect ratio. See the example below.
