Select Picture Mode for Normal Viewing

After you use the HDTV Setup Wizard to select all the HDTV picture formats
you want to use, you need to choose a General Settings picture mode for
normal viewing. If you have your HDTV connected to the DVR for iO TV 
using component cables, Pass-Through mode is recommended for normal
viewing. Pass-Through mode allows non-HD channels to be displayed 
using their native picture formats, which can improve picture quality on 
non-HD channels.

To select Pass-Through mode for normal 
viewing, follow these steps.

1. Press 

Settings

twice. The 

General 

Settings

menu appears.

2. Press 

Move Up

or 

Move Down

to highlight 

Set: Picture Format

.

3. Press 

Move Right 

to highlight the picture 

format setting.

4. Press 

Move Up

to select 

Pass-Through

.

5. Press 

Accept

to use this option for the HD-DVR for iO TV. The 

DVR front panel displays 

AUTO

, plus the scan rate you are viewing 

(for example, 1080i).

6. Press 

Exit

to return to normal viewing.

Note

: When the HDMI connector is connected to the HDTV, the 

General 

Settings - Set: Picture Format

screen displays the AutoDVI/HDMI option 

instead of the Pass-Through option.

Important

: Do not connect the HDMI (DVI) output to an HDTV that does not 

support High-Definition Copy Protection (HDCP). If you connect the HDMI 
(DVI) output cable to an HDTV that does not support HDCP, you will not be 
able to see any video output. A message will be displayed instructing you to 
disconnect the HDMI connection and connect the component (PrPbY) cables.
