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
SurfGuide (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 when you
press the GUIDE button on the remote control.
If you choose SurfGuide as the default, the Grid Guide will appear when you
access the TV program guide, since the SurfGuide 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 LCOS HDTV unless you specify otherwise.
Note: When watching an image via the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks, you
won’t 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 4:3 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 black 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. Black side panels won’t be added, and the image is
vertically unaltered. This setting is especially useful for viewing 16:9 formatted
DVDs.
Tip: Types of Guides
For more information about the different types of guides,
go to page 83.
Tip: Screen formats
To toggle through screen formats when the television is in
TV or DIRECTV mode, press the FORMAT button on the
remote control.
A 4:3 aspect ratio shows less of the
image than the wide-screen 16:9
aspect ratio.
