Moxi FAQ

Moxi Settings

Parental Controls

How do parental controls work with “Not Rated” shows?

Moxi interprets Not Rated TV shows as if they were rated MA (Mature audiences only); Movies

marked Not Rated are interpreted as R- or X-rated.

Do parental control settings work on DVD movies?

For Moxi to enforce parental controls on a DVD movie, the rating must be encoded on the disk. If no

rating is encoded, and parental controls are turned on, Moxi uses the most restrictive settings.

Can I set up different parental controls on each TV?

The parental control settings apply to both TVs. However, you can turn them off on one TV—either

completely, for four hours or for an individual show—without affecting the settings on the other TV.

High Definition (HD) and widescreen TVs

Why does the picture look stretched on my widescreen TV?

You may have an incorrect setting selected. In Settings, select Widescreen and make sure you

have selected the correct settings.

• Wide mode—On a widescreen TV, this setting fits content to the height and width of the screen.

On a standard TV, content appears squeezed horizontally.

• Cropped—On a standard TV, widescreen shows fit the height of the screen, and the sides

appear clipped. Standard definition shows appear normally. Use this setting if your TV does not

support widescreen.

• Letterbox—On a standard TV, widescreen shows fit the width of the screen, and dark bars

appear above and below the content. Standard definition shows appear normally. This setting is

recommended if your TV does not support widescreen.

Why don’t the HD channels look any different from the other channels?

Make sure your HD-compatible TV is attached to the media center using Component or DVI-D cables.

Then, go to HDTV Setup in the Settings category and make sure you have checked all resolutions

your HDTV supports. Do not check settings your TV does not support.

How do I watch standard definition shows (480i) on an HDTV?

Decide if you want the show displayed in its native format (4:3), or if you want to stretch the

content to fit the screen. Stretching content to fit the screen will make the content appear distorted.

Moxi can upscale 480i content to 720p or 1080i, which will eliminate distortion and preserve the

native format, but black bars will appear on the sides of the picture.

Does the Moxi Mate work with HDTVs?

Although the Moxi Mate is not true high definition, it will support HDTV programming. The picture

you see when using a Moxi Mate is considerably better than standard definition TV.

Channels

How do I remove unwanted channels from the Moxi Menu Channels category?

In the Settings category, select Channel List. Press OK to check or uncheck channels Only

channels with green check marks will show in the Moxi Menu Channels category.
