Setting up HDTV (cont.)
Setting up your HD digital cable box to work with your HDTV
Note: If you had your HD digital cable box installed professionally, you will not have to go through this
setup procedure unless you move your HD digital cable box to a different TV, or if you are experiencing
problems with your picture.
1. Set the display on your HDTV to normal (refer to the guide that came with your HDTV).
2. Turn off your HD digital cable box.
3. Press INFO and GUIDE (on the HD digital cable box) simultaneously to access
the HDTV Setup program.
4. Choose the output that represents the connection to your HDTV. Most likely option A ‘Y,
Pb, Pr output’.
5. Choose the correct screen size for your HDTV. See picture on the previous page for help.
6. Set the picture format. The recommended option is C, which will allow you to save only
those formats (or scan rates) that your HDTV can display. To save the formats that are
compatible with your HDTV:
• Choose OPTION B.
• Press A to acknowledge that the HDTV monitor is in Normal display mode.
• Press A to cycle through, and test, the resolution options (720p, 480i, 1080i, etc.).
If your TV does not support one of the options, you will see a blank screen ----
save only those scan rates that are compatible with your HDTV.
• Press EXIT.
• Press EXIT again.
• Press POWER on your HD digital cable box.
Now you can change Picture Formats safely by accessing the picture format option on the Quick
Settings menu.
