Step 1: Access the User Settings Menu*

1. To access the User Settings Menu, power On your TV and power Off

the DVR box.

2. Press the Menu button on either your remote or the front of your DVR

box to call up the on-screen menu. You may use either the DVR front

panel or remote to navigate the menu.

3. Press the

䊱䊲

buttons on your remote to select the setting you wish to

change. Press the

䊴䊳

buttons to select an option for that setting. To

exit the setting and move to another setting, use the

䊱䊲

buttons.

Step 2: Set your preference for watching wide-screen TV

The first user setting, referred to as “TV Type,” tells the DVR box

what type of TV you have and how you prefer to watch wide-screen

programming.

For standard-screen TVs, choose either of the following options:

• 4:3 Pan Scan (wide-screen programming is cropped to fill your screen).

• 4:3 Letterbox (wide-screen programming will appear in its entirety

with black bands on the top and bottom of the TV screen).

For wide-screen TVs, choose 16:9.

Step 3: Set picture resolution from DVR box to TV

The next setting is referred to as Y Pb Pr OUTPUT and indicates the picture

resolution output from the DVR box to your TV. The choices are 480i, 480p,

720p, and 1080i. For most standard TVs, the appropriate setting is 480i.

Choose 480p for enhanced-definition TVs. For HDTVs, choose either 720p

or 1080i. Refer to your TV owner’s manual and choose the setting that

indicates the highest picture resolution your television will support.

Step 4: Set 4:3 override

This setting provides the ability to specify how 4:3 standard-definition

programs are displayed on your TV. The choices are OFF, 480i, 480p, or

stretch. For most standard TVs, this should be set to OFF (the DVR will

default to the resolution selected in the previous setting). For HDTVs, the

appropriate setting is either 480i, 480p, or stretch. If you have a wide-

screen TV and select the stretch setting, 4:3 programs will automatically

be stretched to a wide-screen 16:9 aspect ratio and display video in the

format you specified in Step 3. Consult your HDTV owner’s manual to

determine the appropriate setting.

Step 5: Save your settings

Press the Power button on your DVR or your remote to exit the menu

and save your settings.

Note: If you purchase an HDTV in the future and already have a Motorola

DCT3412/3416 or DCT6412/6416 receiver call Comcast to have your

HDTV channels authorized. You will probably need to modify these

settings. If you have the Pace TDC 575D DVR, you will need to exchange

your set-top box in order to view HD programming through your DVR.

* If the on-screen menu does not appear on your TV screen, your TV may

not support the default setting. Use the DVR front panel LED display to

view and change your settings. Use the up and down arrows to navigate

categories and the left and right arrows to navigate within categories.
