Depending on the type of TV you have, you
may encounter one of the following problems.
4:3 TV
If you have a 4:3 aspect HDTV, bars may appear
at the top and bottom of the picture when you
input 1080i signals. If you have set the STB to
SCREEN RATIO 16:9 and SIDEBAR, the
screen may appear as shown here.
We recommend setting the STB’s screen ratio to
4:3 and the display mode to suit your preference.
Alternatively, set the resolution selection switch
on the rear panel to “480p”. See your TV
owner’s manual for details.
16:9 TV
A double set of sidebars may appear on the left
and right of the picture, squeezing it into the
center of the screen. This can occur if you have
set the resolution selection switch on the rear
panel to “480p”, because the television may
recognize the signal as 4:3, regardless of the
screen ratio setting you have made on the STB.
If your television can handle 1080i or 720p
signals, set the resolution selection switch on the
rear panel to the resolution for your television. If
it cannot handle either of these, then change the
display mode on your television.
