HDTV SETUP WIZRD (CONTINUED)
How can I change how the picture looks on my TV?
Press SETTINGS twice to display the
General Settings menu. Then, choose one
of the following options.
Fixed — The screen resolution you
selected from the Setup Wizard can be
seen in the Quick Settings menu. The
screen resolution remains the same
(fixed) until you change it.
Pass-Through — This option provides a built-in convenience factor. The set-top attempts to convert the signal of an
incoming program to the best picture format for your HDTV screen. However, if you have not selected all the screen reso-
lutions that are available, the screen resolution defaults to the best selection available based on the selections you made
in the HDTV Setup Wizard.
Upconvert 1 and Upconvert 2 — The operation of these two options is similar to that of the Pass-Through option.
See the Display Formats For Digital Sources table below.
Auto DVI or HDMI — If your HDTV is connected through the DVI or HDMI port, you will see this option and not the
Pass-Through option. Incoming programming is automatically formatted to the scan rate supported by your HDTV.
