may test if the display device is capable of correctly displaying 576i, 576p, 1152i,
1080i and 720p video formats. You will be asked to test these video formats on the
display device and confirm if the picture is displayed correctly. If the display device is
not capable of displaying a particular video format, the digital receiver will return to the
last correctly displayed format after about 8 seconds.
Note: In some cases, a display device will fail to return to a previously tested mode
after failing to display the next mode (i.e. the display does not support this format). If
you experience this, turn the display device off, wait 10 seconds and then turn the
display device on.

VCR out
This setting affects the video format at the
VCR output, or the TV output when mode C
(CVBS) is selected.
If your display is 4:3 format and the
transmission of a program happens to be
16:9, the Normal/Letterbox mode will give
you a complete picture, but black areas will
appear at the top and bottom.
Letterbox
Alternatively
you
can
choose
the
Normal/Center Cut mode to play the
program in a full-screen format, however
information on the left and right sides may
be cut off.
Center Cut
If your display is 16:9 format, then set the
mode at Wide. If a program happens to be
in 4:3, black areas will appear at the left
and right of the screen in order to present
the picture in a correct aspect ratio.
Note that this selection only applies to
CVBS output.
16:9 Wide
Audio delay time
Different displays may have different delay in displaying pictures, which may cause a
slight problem with lip sync. This feature allows you to use W/X to select your choice
according to your actual video display equipment, in order to compensate for this
delay. The delay time depends on which choice appears to provide best performance
of lip sync on your display device.
MPEG Audio Level
From here you my adjust MPEG audio level from –12 db to 0 db. This adjustment is
only for MPEG input and system will detect MPEG input automatically.

Audio Language Priority
From here you may prioritise languages for
the audio output. To prioritise a language,
press OK to highlight a language choice.
Move the choice up or down by using the
arrow buttons. Press OK again to confirm
the priority.
Note that this priority applies when you view new services. That is, the receiver will
select the audio soundtrack with the highest priority as the default soundtrack.
However, you may select any available soundtrack at any time for each channel, and
that selection will not be affected by your choice of language priority.
Note also that this feature is currently not supported by Australian broadcasters.
Audio Preference
The Audio mode allows you to adjust the audio setting. You may choose Dolby Digital
(Dolby D), MPEG1 and MPEG2. Use W/X to select your choice. Like the Audio
Language Priority setting, this audio mode setting determines your initial choice of
soundtrack based on the audio mode, and you may select any soundtrack channel by
channel, regardless of the audio mode setting made in this menu.
If the default Audio Mode is Dolby D, and the input signal contains only MPEG2, the
default Mode will change to MPEG2 automatically. If the Audio Mode is set to Dolby D,
the digital receiver will automatically select a Dolby D soundtrack when it is available.
We especially recommend this selection if you will be connecting your receiver to a TV
or A/V receiver that can decode Dolby Digital (look for the
logo) or Dolby
Surround Pro Logic (look for the
logo).

6.4 Advanced Settings
In addition to the settings in “Preferences”, section 6.3, the Advanced Settings are
used to program your digital receiver. Again, some of the settings, especially “Install”
(3), may require assistance from your Service Provider. Your digital receiver will ask
you to key in a password, and the default password is 0000.

programs with a certain rating or above:
None, Block G, Block PG, Block M, Block
MA, Block AV, Block RA, and Block All.
Your digital receiver will automatically block
programs that are unsuitable to children
under the age limit you have set. For
example, if you choose “Block PG” and a
received program has rating equal to or
above PG, the digital receiver will ask the
viewer to enter the password before
viewing that program.
However, not all transmissions carry ratings
information to activate this function.
Change password
From here you can change the password. Once the new password is set DO NOT
FORGET IT! Without the password, you cannot access any functions that require you
to provide the correct password! If you forget your password, please contact customer
service for help.

South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory. This setting will
