Changing TV Settings
You use the TV Setup screen to choose how your box displays video on your TV.
◆ Select the TV Type (HD or SD) (only if an HD TV is connected)
◆ Select the Aspect Ratio (4:3 or 16:9)
4:3 is for ‘standard’ TVs; 16:9 is for ‘widescreen’ TVs
◆ If you selected 4:3 above, choose how 16:9 widescreen transmissions display on
your TV:
Letter Box - the whole of the transmitted video is visible, with black horizontal
bars above and below
Pan Scan - only the centre portion of the transmitted video fills the screen
◆ If you selected 16:9 above, choose how 4:3 standard transmissions display on
your TV:
Stretch - the transmitted video is stretched horizontally to fill the screen
Pillar Box - the whole of the transmitted video is visible, with black vertical
bars to the left and right
Choosing audio settings
The Audio Setup screen lets you choose:
◆ your preferred S/PDIF Output (Dolby Digital 5.1 or PCM)
This setting controls the digital-audio output from the connector marked ‘COAXIAL’ or
‘OPTICAL’ DIGITAL AUDIO OUT. Select ‘Dolby Digital 5.1’ if your equipment has Dolby
Digital decoding capabilities. The setting ‘PCM’ is for digital stereo sound.
Note
Dolby Digital audio is available only on some programmes. If Dolby Digital audio is not available, the
audio output will be digital stereo.
◆ a Time Delay setting (between 0 ms and 300 ms)
If you have an HD TV, and you connect a separate audio system to the ‘COAXIAL’ or
‘OPTICAL’ DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector on your box, you may have to adjust the
Time Delay setting.
This is because the length of time your HD TV takes to display the video information may
be slightly greater than the time taken for the audio signal to reach the loudspeakers. In
this case, you would hear someone speaking just before his/her lips moved. To correct this
situation, a delay must be added to the audio signal, until it is “in sync” with the on-screen
video.
