Setting Description
TV Type
Selects the type of TV. The LED panel will display the output
type you have selected. Defaults to 16:9.
Options are 16:9 (for wide screen TVs); 4:3 LETTERBOX or
4:3 PAN/SCAN (for normal TVs).
4:3 LETTERBOX allows you to view widescreen programming
in a letterbox format through the S-video, composite video, or
RF video outputs when the DCT* is tuned to a widescreen
program. 4:3 PAN/SCAN allows you to view widescreen
programming in 4:3 full screen format through the S-video,
composite video, or RF video outputs when the DCT* is tuned
to a widescreen program.
Y Pb Pr
Output
Selects the video display for the DVI and YPbPr component
video outputs. The LED panel will display the format you have
selected. Defaults to 1080i.
Options are 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i.
Some TVs can only support certain display formats. Check
your TV User Guide for more information. If you are not using
an HDTV, selecting a format other than 480i will cause the
on-screen display to go blank. If this happens you can still
view your settings on the LED panel to change the format back
to 480i.
