TRANSLUCENCY
You can adjust the level of translucency that the menu screens and program guides
possess. Adjust the slider up for more translucency (the video behind the menu and
guides will be more visible) or down for less translucency (less video will be shown
behind the menu or guides).
DEFAULT GUIDE
By default, the Detail Guide appears when you press GUIDE on the remote control, no
matter if you access the DIRECTV
® programming guide or the TV program guide. You
can change the default guide from the Detail Guide to the Grid Guide or the SurfGuide
feature (DIRECTV only).
1. Select Preferences from the main menu, then select Default Guide.
2. Use the arrows and OK to choose which guide you want to appear first when you
press the GUIDE button on the remote control.
If you choose the SurfGuide feature as the default, the Grid Guide will appear when
you access the TV program guide, since the SurfGuide feature isn’t available as a TV
program guide.
SCREEN FORMAT
If you receive an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image will be displayed at that ratio
on your HDTV unless you specify otherwise. Note that when watching an image via the
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks, you will not be able to manipulate the screen
format or view the screen format in the channel banner.
The Screen Format menu allows you to adjust the image through the following options:
Normal Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you want the on-screen
appearance of the video to be a centered picture with gray side panels (blank areas) on
the right and left sides.
Full Choose this when you want the television to adjust the 4:3 image horizontally so
it fills your 16:9 screen. No gray side panels will be added, and the image is vertically
unaltered. This setting is especially useful for viewing 16:9 formatted DVDs.
Fill Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you do not want gray side panels on
the right and left sides of the screen. The television will adjust the image both
horizontally and vertically so it fills the height and width of your 16:9 screen with no
gray side panels added. It will also maintain the correct image proportion. Use with
material such as “letterboxed” laserdiscs or VCR tapes.
Also note that when in TV or DIRECTV mode, pressing the FORWARD button on the
remote will toggle through screen formats.

4:3 ratio
For more information
about the three types of
guides, see the section,
“Using the Program
Guides.”
Some digital (ATSC format)
stations may transmit 4:3
images in a way that will
not allow expansion. You
will be unable to adjust
the screen format.
Note that when tuned to
the device connected to
the component video
input jacks, translucency
is set to opaque and
cannot be changed.
Once you return to
watching another
device, the original
setting is restored.
