Closed Caption
The Closed Caption option allows you to set the default mode and caption channel to be viewed
on-screen when first tuning to a program.
When OFF is selected, captions will not be displayed.
If CC1 or CC2 is selected, then the HD receiver will decode and display the appropriate closed
captioning channel, if present.
TV Resolution
The TV Resolution menu option lets you set the output format of the HD receiver. By default the
TV Resolution is set to 1080i for a High Definition monitor or television. If you have a Standard
Definition monitor or television, you should choose 480i. If you change this setting, the on-
screen menu will disappear from view. You need to change the TV’s input to match the new
output setting. Switching between HD and SD can also be done by using the remote control.
Press the key once, then press the key, followed by the key.
Note: The HD receiver will output HD video through the Component Video (Y,

connectors, but it will not output both formats simultaneously. Please refer to
Chapter 2 “Setting Up Your HD Receiver” for instructions on connecting
your type of monitor or television.
Screen Ratio
The Screen Ratio menu option lets you specify the aspect ratio of your monitor or television so

display options can also be accessed from the remote control by pressing the key sequence

If you are using a 4:3 (standard) television or monitor and receiving a 16:9 (wide-screen) image,

the screen with the entire image. No image content is lost; however, images will appear
tall and more slender than normal.
Note: To minimize uneven picture tube aging, the cropped or full mode is
recommended.
Cropped
In the cropped mode, the 16:9 image is enlarged to fill the screen vertically and centered
horizontally. Some image content is lost at the left and right sides of the 16:9 image.
Note: To minimize the chance of uneven picture tube aging, the cropped or
full mode is recommended.
Letterbox
