2-3. Display Formats
The DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver provides several display formats. The FORMAT button in the front
panel changes the display format in the cycle of 1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i, native,
variable 1, variable 2, variable 3 and Auto DVI** modes. In 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i
modes, all input signal formats are converted to the chosen display format. In native, vari-
able 1, variable 2 and variable 3 modes, output display format is automatically adapted
depending on input signal format. In Auto DVI mode, the output display format is automati-
cally adapted based on the preferred resolution format of the DVI-HDTV monitor. The format
may be converted from the original broadcast format.
* Only one of the YPbPr, RGB or DVI-HDTV jacks is available at any one time, depending on
the TYPE switch setting and DVI-HDTV connection status.
** Format available when using the DVI-HDTV output to connect to a DVI-HDTV monitor.
