WIDESCREEN
TV sets are available with screens of the standard
(4:3) format and widescreen (16:9) format. When
you first installed your receiver you specified the
format of the connected TV (this can now be altered
if necessary; see Section 3 - ADVANCED
OPERATION - Configuring Your Receiver).
Digital terrestrial television broadcasts are also made
in both standard and widescreen formats. In
particular, films and dramas tend to be broadcast
in widescreen format to closer emulate the cinema
experience, but even some news bulletins are
widescreen. To help get the most from both TV set
and programme when a widescreen film is watched
on a standard TV, or a standard broadcast is viewed
on a widescreen set, the receiver includes the
[WIDE] key.
So long as the receiver has been correctly set up
for the TV set connected, a widescreen programme
will always be displayed correctly on a widescreen
set, and a standard format programme will correctly
fill the screen of a standard format TV.
With a standard format TV displaying a widescreen
programme, the [WIDE] key switches between
displaying the picture with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen, and filling the whole height of
the screen but cropping the sides off according to
instructions broadcast with the programme (called
'pan and scan').
The effect of the [WIDE] key on the picture display
is cancelled by pressing [WIDE] again, changing
channel or turning the receiver to standby.
Subtitle
With Digital terrestrial broadcasting, some
programmes are broadcast with subtitles.
Subtitles can be displayed when watching these
programmes.
TV / DTV Key

time the TV scart is switched on and the TV is
switched to AV/RGB mode. And also, when there is
no menu on the screen , pressing TV/DTV key will
manually toggle the set top box between VCR mode
and TV mode. In VCR mode set top box will display
the output of VCR device , In TV mode set top box
displays its own outputs. If box scart mode is not
changed by pressing TV/DTV key , scart mode will
be automatically detected . (For example if a dvd
player is connected to VCR scart and powered on
, then the set top box will immediately switch to VCR
mode. The set top box will switch to TV mode if dvd
player is switched off )
