TIVO BOLT AUDIO & VIDEO
SETTINGS
On the TiVo Central screen, move to ‘Settings & Messages’ and press SELECT - the round button at the center
of the arrows circle on your remote. Then move to ‘Audio & Video Settings’ and press SELECT.
Audio & Video settings include:
• Language & Audio Description
• Dolby Audio
• Sound effects Volume
• Aspect Correction Mode
• Letterbox & Sidebox Color
• Video Resolution
LANGUAGE & AUDIO DESCRIPTION
Some shows are broadcast with an audio description track and more than one language track. Use this setting
to choose to use the audio description track or to change the default language for shows with multiple tracks
available.
Note: You can also switch to the audio description track while watching a show by pressing INFO - the second
button down on the right of the TiVo button - and then selecting the “Audio Description” option from the Info
Banner.
DOLBY AUDIO
If you have an A/V receiver or home theater system that supports Dolby audio, use this setting to choose how
the TiVo box will record and output digital audio. Check your A/V receiver or home theater system manual for its
capabilities.
If a show is broadcast with a Dolby audio track, a Dolby Audio icon will appear in the info banner.
Note: Dolby Audio is not available if the screen reader is enabled.
SOUND EFFECTS VOLUME
Change the volume of the TiVo box’s sound effects (the tones played when you press buttons on the remote
control). The default is Medium.
ASPECT CORRECTION MODE
Aspect correction mode alters the way video appears on your screen. Usually, it’s applied when you are
watching an SD show on an HD television screen. Use the Aspect Correction Mode settings screen to choose
from the following options:
• Full mode stretches the video’s width more than its height. The picture fills your screen, but it may be
distorted.
• Panel mode adds letterbox or sideboxes around the video. The picture will not take up your entire screen,
and it will not be distorted.
• Zoom mode enlarges the video proportionally. The picture will take up your entire screen, but edges of the
picture may be cropped. This mode eliminates letterbox and sideboxes without distorting the video.
LETTERBOX & SIDEBOX COLOR
Letterbox is used to fit a 16 x 9 show on a 4 x 3 screen, and sidebox is used to fit a 4 x 3 show on a 16 x 9 screen.
Choose which color the TiVo box should use when it adds letterbox or side bars to the picture: gray or black.
