INTRODUCING THE SETUP WIZARD
WHAT IS THE SETUP WIZARD?
The HDTV Setup Wizard is an on-screen program that helps you set up your high-definition terminal to receive
the best picture quality that the HDTV supports.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before you begin to set up your HD terminal, you may want to have available the user’s guide that came with
your HDTV for reference.
IS IT NECESSARY TO USE THE SETUP WIZARD?
Yes. Whether you have used the component (Y, Pb and Pr), DVI or HDMI connectors to link your HDTV to the HD
terminal, the Setup Wizard will provide your system with the necessary flexibility to ensure that you obtain the best
picture quality you can get at all times.
PICTURE FORMATS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STANDARD SCREEN AND A WIDE SCREEN?
The type of screen your HDTV has (wide screen or standard screen) determines how the set-top displays programs
on the screen. The picture format for an HDTV is a combination of aspect ratio and screen resolution and is
different for standard-screen and wide-screen HDTVs.
WHAT IS AN ASPECT RATIO?
An aspect ratio is the ratio of the width to the height of the TV screen. The aspect ratios differ because the
television industry manufactures both standard-screen and wide-screen HDTVs to appeal to consumer viewing
preferences.
Notes:
• The analog Y, Pb, Pr ports become inactive when the
HDTV is connected to the DVI or HDMI port.
• If the HDTV is connected to the DVI or HDMI port on the
back of the set-top and you see this alert message on
the screen, it means that the HDTV and the set-top are
not compatible. If this occurs, reconnect the set-top to
the Y, Pb, Pr ports on the set-top.
