You can view and change your T3•R’s settings by pressing HOME and selecting the
button located at the top right of the screen.
Picture & Sound
Resolution
The T3•R supports resolutions up to 4K ‘Ultra HD’ (3840 x 2160 pixels or 2160p), which is
four times the resolution of ‘Full HD’ (1920 x 1080 pixels or 1080p). When ‘Resolution’ is
set to its default of ‘Auto’, the T3•R detects your TV’s capabilities and sets the optimum
resolution. You can check your TV’s capabilities in: Settings → Information → Audio/Video.
REQUIREMENTS FOR 4K
The T3•R must be connected to a 4K TV’s HDMI input that supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP
2.2. If you have other devices connected in between such as an AV Receiver, Sound
Bar or HDMI splitter, these must all also support 4K, HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. The T3•R
includes a premium high speed HDMI cable. Using a sub-par cable for even one link may
cause the connection to fail.
Please note that if your T3•R reports the resolution as ‘2160p@25Hz’, you may need to
enable the same mode on your TV used for HDR (see opposite page) to support 50Hz.
HDCP 2.2 is a content protection standard required for premium 4K content. Some devices
only support HDCP 2.2 on a single HDMI input, often labelled with ‘HDCP 2.2’. If some
inputs are labelled and others are not, assume any unlabelled input does not support
HDCP 2.2. If all inputs support HDCP 2.2 there may be no labelling to indicate this and you
will need to refer to the device’s user manual to check.
During BBC iPlayer’s 2018 trials of the World Cup and Wimbledon in 4K they recommended
a minimum broadband speed of 40Mbps. In our testing about 25Mbps should be sucient
for 4K content from YouTube. Even if your broadband is fast enough, you may have other
devices congesting your home network, especially using Wi-Fi, so we strongly recommend
using a wired (Ethernet) connection for 4K.
Match Frame Rate
UK TV channels and on demand services transmit video at either 25 or 50 frames per
second (fps). To ensure smooth playback of this video the T3•R outputs at 50Hz (cycles
per second). As YouTube also has videos at 24fps, 30fps and 60fps, they can appear jerky
when played back at 50Hz. If you change ‘Match Frame Rate’ to ‘On’, the T3•R will change
the refresh rate of your TV to match the refresh rate of videos. Please note that each time
the refresh rate changes your TV must change video modes which may cause a flash or
flicker. Some TVs handle this better than others.
